Brazilian football has always been very much admired in Japan and, of course, after my participation and so many other Brazilians, it was like they created a new style of play in homage to Brazilian football.
Other Brazilians who've gone to Europe haven't always settled so quickly. Neymar has.
The quality of Neymar, indisputably we have to say he is the best Brazilian player. If the kid is OK, I'll tell you, it's almost impossible to stop him.
Brazil needs a player like Neymar at his best on the pitch because Neymar on the pitch gives more confidence to the other players.
I know Brazilian music. I have worked with Brazilians many times.
Messi is one of the best of all, but I'm sure Neymar will get to that level.
There's a big difference between Neymar and me. I've been a professional for two years. Neymar is one of the best in the world.
I play with players in the Brazilian national team who are similar to those at Chelsea - Kaka, Neymar.
I have so much appreciation for how those two cultures have created who I am. I'm a full-blooded Brazilian, with an entire extended family of Brazilians, but I was born and raised in the U.S.
There are many promotions in Russia, and they are taking Brazilians to fight there. We need to do something about the Brazilian market, make it stronger to produce new fighters. We need new talents competing here, not there. They have no other option but fight outside of Brazil because there are few options here.
Neymar is undoubtedly the best player in Brazil. He deserves to play in the best team in the world; next to the best player in the world, Messi.He is a very good player with great quality and a great future.I have no doubt. For me, Neymar is a genius.
The Bible talks about how God uses difficult situations to develop our character and get us stronger. The death of my father is probably the biggest thing that I ever faced. Daddy and I were best friends. But out of that darkness, out of that disappointment in my life, that's what God used to push me into another level of victory or another level of ministry that I never knew I had.
Mixed martial arts was invented by Brazilians, whose families had been trained by the Japanese. Those Brazilians came to the U.S., where their invention was bought out, gussied up and presented to the world, which found it good.
Barcelona has always had issues with Brazilian players: Neymar, Romario, Ronaldinho, and me. We were all treated badly by the club in the end, despite all our contributions and dedication.
Brazilians need to work on their own national pride. I always think that they suffer from national low-self esteem. It's a lesser-developed country, and they have struggled so much. Sometimes they have an attitude that, if it's Brazilian, it can't be good.
If you call a Brazilian out publicly, you're going to be fighting that Brazilian. That's in their culture.
