The World Motivation
Everybody says that the Brazilian players are high-quality players, and I think that's because we play in small spaces, we start playing on the streets when we are young and always with older people, so that helps us.

I just want to play football.
I come from a humble place in Brazil, on the other side of the world, where people don't normally leave to a better life. It is very difficult to succeed when you are born there.
I always look for the best option of who can finish the play.
Women's football is growing day by day and Marta was one of the pioneers. Marta is for us is what Pele was for everyone in Brazil, like Ayrton Senna, she's from a level where there is one person in every million.
I consider myself a Londoner first, and then I consider myself Brazilian before I consider myself English.
Everywhere in Africa, you see Indian, Chinese, Brazilian businesses. Other than Coca Cola and the oil companies, it is very rare to see American businesses.
Just competing in the Brazilian GP is a dream for all Brazilian racing drivers. I remember sitting in the grandstands when I was a kid, watching Ayrton Senna, Nelson Piquet and even Rubens Barrichello. After that, to race there in Formula One is a feeling that is hard to explain.
I train two to three times per day across different gyms in New York, each specializing in different parts of my craft: boxing, Brazilian jujitsu, wrestling and conditioning.
It's interesting because my Mixed Martial Arts upbringing is less Brazilian jiu-jitsu, which is the traditional thing that people study.
