History

In Brazil, if you have a son, the first thing you give him is a football. That's the first gift - so my dad was no different.

To see the ball, to run after it, makes me the happiest man in the world.

For me soccer provides so many emotions, a different feeling every day. I've had the good fortune to take part in major competitions like the Olympics, and winning the World Cup was also unforgettable. We lost in the Olympics and won in the World Cup, and I'll never forget either feeling.

If you are first you are first. If you are second, you are nothing.
