Richarlison

Marco Silva is always talking to me in training; he is always giving me guidance on positioning in the area. His coaching is essential for me. He is training me with an eye to being in the right place at the right time when balls come into the box so I am able to score more goals.

Teams are already marking me individually: they are putting two players there on my side. Unfortunately, it's difficult, but I'm doing what I can. I'm facing them. I'm making assists. I'm trying to score my goals.

Whenever we are en route to a game on the bus I am always watching the goals of Ronaldo, Adriano, and Neymar to get some inspiration. Then, when I am on the pitch, I try to replicate what they do.

I am intending to work hard, score goals, and get assists.

I used to work selling ice lollies and sweets on the road. I worked at a car wash as well.

Some of my friends said I wouldn't have a future in football, as did some of my family, but I still believed in the potential I had. My mum would tell me I needed to get a proper job, but for me, I didn't want to be anything other than a footballer. That led to some tension and frustration between us.

I am a calm person, and I know my responsibilities. I will show it on the field.

Pressure, responsibility - I'm used to playing in big clubs.

It is a big responsibility to play for Brazil. But I know how to deal with it.

I feel at home and very happy with the national team. Even with the responsibility, I am very proud I can go and be in that environment.

I can only work hard because it is a huge responsibility to wear all of these shirts, all of these clubs that I have played for.

Bernard is a great player, a player for the Brazilian national team, and I also followed his progress with Atletico Mineiro.
