It's one of the best leagues in Europe in football. Benfica in my opinion is one of the top 10 biggest clubs in the world.
For clubs, free movement plays a big role in transfers and players' contracts. Players from the E.U. can sign for U.K. clubs without needing a visa or special work permit, making it quicker and easier to secure top talent from across Europe to come and play in our leagues.
Why did I not join one of the top five clubs in Europe? Because I am no longer one of the top five players around, and neither are Inter among the five best clubs.
It was always a dream as a footballer to compete in the best leagues in the world and those leagues are here in Europe.
I used to play as a No. 10, in Bilbao, in most of the games, but when I came to United, when you come to one of the biggest clubs in the world, you realise that if you want to be a No. 10, you have to score 10, 12 goals per season.
The best players want to play for the best clubs in Europe and appear in top competitions like the Champions League.
Benfica is a club of the people, with ambition domestically and in Europe and that was important to me, I really want to achieve things and Benfica has the same ambitions that I have.
I played for four years in Porto and our biggest rivals were Benfica. But I always had respect for the club, I don't hate Benfica.
At the end of the day, I'm a footballer who has played at some of the biggest football clubs in the world and played with some of the best players in the world.
Chelsea is one of the biggest football clubs in the world.
It's true there were a lot of clubs interested in me - I had talks with some of the biggest clubs in Europe.
You don't look for jobs. You don't phone up 10 clubs and say, Here I am. You are offered the job. I was in Benfica many years ago. I was leaving the training ground and I had a car after me. It went on for 10 minutes. Anyhow, he stopped and I stopped and he said, I'm from the Italian embassy. Ah yes, and what do you want? I want your phone number because Roma wants you as a manager next season. Three months later I was sitting on the bench in Roma. I don't think the rest of working society works like football.
I started at Benfica: not as big but one of the biggest clubs in Portugal. I've played for Real Madrid. Then I moved to Manchester United, from a giant to another giant.
This happens with every player, if it wasn't for money I wouldn't leave Brazil. When you go to Europe you go because of the money and because of the good clubs also, and in Shanghai the project is to be one of the best leagues.
For me, the Premier League is full of quality, and the clubs competing at the top are the same who compete at the top of Europe every year.
I like English football very much. It is truly one of the best leagues in the world.
When I was five, 10, 15 years old, I always dreamed of being in the best league in the world, playing with some of the best clubs.
