Brazilian - Athlete

When I was a kid, I dreamed of wearing the Selecao shirt in a World Cup.

Willian

He tried to convince me. He spoke to me: 'You have to play for Belgium.' He came to talk to me, he's always talking to me. I told him 'it's difficult, Lukaku, can't do it, it's not the same. Playing for Belgium is something else. Playing for Selecao... It's Brazil, I feel at home.'

Andreas Pereira

Obviously, when I was playing in the Championship, I always dreamed about playing for England, putting on the jersey.

Kieran Trippier

Getting the opportunity to play in your national team jersey and playing the World Cup at home is something wonderful.

Hulk

I dreamed I spoke in another's language, I dreamed I lived in another's skin, I dreamed I was my own beloved, I dreamed I was a tiger's kin. I dreamed that Eden lived inside me, And when I breathed a garden came, I dreamed I knew all of Creation, I dreamed I knew the Creator's name. I dreamed--and this dream was the finest-- That all I dreamed was real and true, And we would live in joy forever, You in me, and me in you.

Clive Barker

My father was always pushing me to become a basketball player. In Africa, when you're a kid, every kid loves to play soccer, and I loved playing soccer. But my dad didn't want me playing soccer. He would joke, 'C'mon, man, you're too tall!' Then he promised me, 'If you start playing basketball, I'm going to give you my jersey.'

Serge Ibaka

People always say to me, 'It must be so much pressure and so difficult playing out there in front of 60,000 people.' I always say, 'No, not really.' Playing football and earning great money isn't difficult. Working three jobs and raising kids alone, which is what my Mum did. That's difficult.

Troy Deeney

It's been a bit of a difficult start for me at United because I have not been playing so much. I had a lot of games in Shakhtar, but it's a little bit different here.

Fred

Playing for Chelsea doesn't compare to the pressure of playing for Brazil because we've won the World Cup five times. It's not only a massive country but football is part of the culture. They always want you to win, so you can never have an off-day.

Oscar

There's a certain - there's a different pressure with playing in a Ryder Cup. You know, you're not just playing for yourself. You're playing for your teammates. You're playing for your country.

Rory McIlroy

In my head I always had the idea of giving my best and playing for the Selecao.

Marcelo

Even when I was at the top, playing in the Champions League final for Liverpool and playing at the World Cup for England, I've never let it go to my head.

Peter Crouch

The Selecao is always treated as favourites, so we're aware of our responsibility, and the goal is always to enter every competition to win, and the World Cup is no different.

Fernandinho

A World Cup would only be a true experience if I were wearing the Brazilian shirt. Otherwise, it would just be like playing for a club.

David Luiz

I always dreamed of being on center court, playing the best in the world.

Frances Tiafoe

I've been playing 90 minutes in MLS games. But when you're playing internationally in World Cup qualifiers, there's a little bit extra incentive there. It's win or go home.
