Of course, I follow Bollywood. In fact, it’s widely followed in Brazil.

My best has to be for Barcelona against Villarreal in 2006 – that is the one I am asked most about, and it is the one I am most proud of. Xavi chipped the ball to me, I chested it down, twisted and hit an overhead kick. It was the final goal in a 4-0 win.

I have never imagined doing anything other than football, but now, thinking about it coldly, if I hadn’t been a footballer, I would have been a musician.

I am passionate about music – and people think because I go to places where I can enjoy music I have to be partying. It isn’t true.

It doesnt change much for me really and my motivation remains the same – to create a beautiful future with Barcelona, winning many titles.

Brazil goes into every World Cup expecting to win – so when it is in Brazil it is expected even more. You can’t understand what the World Cup means to our country.

I think each player has an individual style. Each is concerned with giving the best to his team, and I think my best talent is dribbling and setting up goal situations, giving an assist or deceiving one of the other team’s players.

The toughest opponents for me are the defenders who are tough in the way they play – where you can’t see a way through.

I have the chance to do for a living what I like the most in life, and that’s playing football. I can make people happy and enjoy myself at the same time.

Football is about joy. It’s about dribbling. I favour every idea that makes the game beautiful. Every good idea has to last.
