Growing up watching the Premier League, the person with the most presence was Gilberto Silva. He was everywhere in Brazil. His matches were always televised. He was the main figure I was following in the Premier League.

I thought about the problems I had growing up: how I prioritised football over school, but people were telling me I wouldn't make it, that it wasn't possible. The thing is, I did make it, thanks to my own will and determination and the help of some people I had around me in my hometown.

I want to evolve and improve as a professional.

When it comes to understanding how to talk in English about football, I always watch 'Match of the Day.'

Tennis is my job, but it's not my life.

I don't care about the money. Honestly. All I care about is winning football games.

When I lose the sense of motivation and the sense to prove something as a basketball player, it's time for me to move away from the game.

Except for naval and air exercises, our military should be stationed on American soil, where service men and women can lead normal lives in close proximity to family and friends.
