Sometimes I look at myself and ask, 'What is my best position?' But I think it's a defensive midfielder; that's the best one.
In my country, they used to call players who play in my position a defensive midfielder, but it is not defensive.
The manager might like it sometimes when I play up front because I can cause trouble for the defenders, but for me, my best position is defensive midfield, stopping the opposition, and then looking to impose myself on a game.
Defensive midfielder is my position and I have to be focused on that role.
I've always thought of myself as the best defensive player in the league, and I want to play like the best defensive player in the league.
I see myself as a mix between number six and number eight in central midfield - this is the best position for me, as a box-to-box midfielder.
On a tactical level the defensive midfielder in a 4-3-3 formation is just about the most demanding position there is.
My favorite position is in the center of the midfield, maybe the defensive midfield. I think I can play this position the best. I played there in my youth all the time, and I like to be in the center of the game because you're never standing still.
If you feel comfortable in what you're wearing, you'll look your best, and I think that's a really important idea. Sometimes, whether it's fashion or beauty, things are on-trend, and they look beautiful on the runway, but when I apply them to myself, it doesn't look the way it should.
I think I fit into any type of system because I don't really have a certain position. Sometimes people try and label me, but I don't look at myself as being locked into one position.
I have already worked Dunga. He helped me at Internacional, making me a more defensive midfielder. But I can play as a first or second midfielder, like I do at Shakhtar.
All players rolled into one: from defensive midfielder to attacking midfielder to attacker. I want to take the qualities from everyone. I'd like to get to the level where I have everything: Vieira, Deschamps, Zidane, Ronaldinho, Henry, Ronaldo. It wouldn't be bad, that.
Everyone knows where I play, as a defensive midfielder, more or less the same, so in the last six or seven years I play in that position and there is nothing new for me.
Friends ask me to pick the best 11 players, but sometimes the best 11 players are not the best team. So it's something that you have to work together.
I think sometimes girls look at Victoria's Secret models and think that they have to model themselves after that, but I really don't think that's the best; even though they are called 'models,' they're not the best people to model yourself after.
Ask for the sale when the mood is right. The worst possible place is in the prospects' office. Best place is a business breakfast, lunch or dinner. Next best is your office. Next best is a trade show. Ask early, and ask often.
You want to be the best at your position. And if people think of me as one of the best ever, that's the ultimate compliment.
