If I'd grown up in Sao Paulo, I'm sure I would've been a great soccer fan.
That was my dream since I was a kid, since I first saw a vale tudo event in my hometown of Sao Paulo. I wanted to compete.
I based in Brazil, Sao Paulo, but I come very often to the states, and I travel all over the world.
I had been to São Paulo the year before and became pretty well acquainted with the music of composer Antonio Carlos Jobim, I had already started playing that music, and the audience response had been pretty good because those songs are so melodic. I knew it would be something that would be appealing; I wasn't thinking that it would make the top of the pop charts or anything like that.
When I signed my first contract with Sao Paulo I still wasn't sure that I was going to have a successful career. Even after you turn professional the competition is so intense, and as I was a bit older than some of the other players, I thought that it would be harder for me.
From the moment I left Sao Paulo and Brazil, I was fixed on staying here, playing for the first team and succeeding at Real Madrid. That was always my dream. But it was an advantage to be able to join Castilla first.
I didn't make any money in soccer, only spent money. I had offers to play in Sao Paulo, but my mother didn't let me go.
If they call me, I would be very happy. It's a dream to play for France.
Sao Paulo is a dump. That's a known fact.
Brazil has its own fashion identity. Many very talented Brazilian designers show every season at Sao Paulo and Rio fashion weeks.
Ceni was very skilful - and he made history. He played for 25 years at Sao Paulo, more than 1,200 games, and that's an inspiration. Hopefully, I can build a history like that.
We've got clouds and rain, just like in Seattle .. but Sao Paulo is better.
I was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and from an early age was interested in technology and engineering.
All the way through the youth ranks at Sao Paulo, I've always been the captain.
As far as Sao Paulo are concerned, I've never played for a club as well-structured as this.
I think it would be very exciting to do a track like Silverstone the other way around, to arrive so quick in Becketts and then Maggotts would be very exciting.
