I started very young... I learned my martial arts first in the street. There were always fights. That's the culture in Brazil.

If the time has come to leave Porto, the club and its fans will forever have a place in my heart. I can only thank them for all the affection they've shown me.

I'm not that type of fighter that fights one or two times a year. Staying out makes you lose focus, lose rhythm. I have to fight.

I hope to win the Confederations Cup.

I am a special footballer, and I need to be happy when I'm playing.

It's very hard because the sport evolves so fast, changes so fast. So, you have to be there to see the changes that are happening in the moment. That's why I keep training every day. I try to mix...

I have had regrets along the way, but when I leave this sport, I'll do so with my head held high. I know I gave it my heart and soul, and I tried to learn and be better every day.

I go to work with humility and I don't give my opinion about the way other people work.

I feel fine in St Petersburg, my family is fine and my son is fine.

Gramacho is the last landfill that allows people in. Brazil is the leading nation in recycling due to its poverty. There are people there surviving from what they find in the garbage.

A fight involves the emotion, the strategy of combat. There are many factors connected to a fight.

I dream of playing in the English league.

Maybe my fighting style isn't that sellable, doesn't make things easier to promote, but that's my style and I won't change it.

Everything else is easy after being a mom!

Every fight has taught me something.

I'm not an actress, you know. I don't know what's going on. And I'm supposed to be the villain.

In my country, they used to call players who play in my position a defensive midfielder, but it is not defensive.

I believe in me.

It's sad that we have to sell our training gear, things we get in fights that are a good memory of what we had there, but we'll get new stuff later.

I haven't played a lot as a centre-back, but in those games, I feel like I did well.

If you lose a title, perhaps it's because your rivals are better than you are. But to be demoted from the top flight is really heartbreaking.

My pregnancy really did restart my body and my metabolism and everything.

I started training judo when I was 5 years old. I didn't know much. My mom just took me and my brother to do some judo because we were very energetic. We did that for a couple of years. I don't know...

When the team is losing, you can become upset and mixed up, shying away from the play, and lose control.
