I was adapted to European football after playing in Germany for three years, but English football is very different to the Bundesliga.
The European drivers have adapted to this circuit extremely quickly, especially Paul Radisich who's a New Zealander.
Even I'm a bit surprised with how easily I've adapted to European football.
Of course Neymar is someone that is very important, not only for Brazilian football but for the world of football, and it will be amazing to see him playing in a World Cup and showing all of his skills.
I never expected to adapt so quickly, but if you are a foreigner it's up to you to adapt to English football because you can't change it. I think I've achieved something in the way I adapted.
The Liga is a tough league, but I'm inspired by players like Neymar and Messi. You have to work very hard to reproduce what they do, especially Neymar.
In football, there are so many great football players like Eden Hazard, Roberto Lewandowski and Neymar.
I do read very, very quickly. I do process data very quickly. And so I write very quickly. And it is embarrassing because there is a conception that the things that you do quickly are not done well. I think that's probably one of the reasons I don't like the idea of prolific.
Football's football, it can change very quickly. I know that, I've experienced that many times.
Neymar is a very humble down to earth guy, who enjoys playing football and likes to play that way. Anyone that knows him understands this.
The world has a way of undermining complex plans. This is particularly true in fast moving environments. A fast moving environment can evolve more quickly than a complex plan can be adapted to it. By the time you have adapted, the target has changed.
Messi and Ronaldo have dominated world football for a decade and, given the nature of football, at a certain point the baton will have to pass to someone else. I think Neymar has a great chance of filling that role.
Other Brazilians who've gone to Europe haven't always settled so quickly. Neymar has.
Players like Neymar are great for football.
European teams have always shied away from South American football. They struggle to get to grips with it. The South American game is more technical and about keeping possession, while European football is more dynamic, physical and direct.
The work is intense. You have to calculate a great deal very quickly which requires football intelligence and real concentration. Part of my role is to shuttle between the defense and the attacking lines to make sure that the ball circulates well and quickly.
