I'm a happy person.

My daughter's Portuguese.

There is always room for improvement.

I like everything about Manchester City.

I want to finish in Portugal, in Benfica.

As a player you must be prepared for everything.

I already know about the importance of the derby.

With Pep Guardiola, City are growing more and more.

Guardiola is one of the best managers in the world.

We will only celebrate when we are champions and not before.

I always train as a goalkeeper. I never train outside the goal.

Any player who wears the Brazilian national team shirt is happy.

A striker can miss three or four chances and still score the fifth.

When a goalkeeper makes a mistake, there is no one to save the goal.

I think it's a matter of taking advantage of your opportunities in life.

I have lots of meaningful tattoos, also some others are for just passion.

I'm good at penalties, either using power or technique when I'm shooting.

At Benfica, I started playing because the starting goalkeeper got injured.

In the European competition, when the knockout rounds start, it's always 50-50.

The passion I had for being a goalkeeper made me follow the career of Rogerio Ceni.

I used to play as a 'goleiro-linha,' it's a goalkeeper that plays a lot with his feet.

Representing the Selecao is a very great expectation, being able to play is even greater.

I think modern football has evolved a lot. Goalkeepers do several things during the game.

As for my ambitions with City, I want to win the Premier League and the Champions League.

Whether I use the long kick all depends on the moment, only at certain stages of the game.

I have always had the dream to play in English football and now I'm going to make it true.

If there is a chance to ever take a penalty I am going to ask the manager and I would do it!

Brazil is well served for goalkeepers, many who have not been to the World Cup are very good.

We know that in the Champions League and the knockout competitions, you can't make any mistakes.

Despite football being my job, it's also good fun and it's a way that children enjoy themselves.

We study the shooters of the opponents - the team, the goalkeeping coach and the other goalkeepers.

On the pitch, I try to be focused and calm and think positive. That's my attitude towards football.

Many people look forward to my work, and I hope to live up to expectations and work at a high level.

I've had lunch with Alisson when he arrived at Liverpool. We have a very good relationship. He's a friend.

I want to win everything we can! But it is my dream to win the Champions League in Manchester City's shirt.

When a child falls over and gets injured, he gets back up and carries on playing. It's no different for me.

I have tattooed the names of my parents, my wife, my two kids, my brothers. Those are the most important ones for me.

I started playing as a full-back, but it's hard to chase quick forwards, especially for me as I'm not particularly quick.

I'm not sure if I would be able to do set-pieces, but I'm good at penalties, either using power or technique on shooting it.

I am working on my English skills that will help me on the pitch. Communication between each other makes our job much easier.

It's a huge responsibility to play at the back, there is no room for mistakes, so I must be constantly focused to give my best.

I started playing in goal because I 'struggled to run as fast as the strikers and the other players out there. I was 10 years old.

I have gained Selecao recognition, eventually. I'm very proud of it, and now I want to replicate my Benfica's performance for my country.

I always learn from Julio Cesar and I learn more from watching him than from talking to him. I gain a lot of experience when I train with him.

If you finish the season as a champion and, on top of that, break some records - we would make history as a club and also us as football players.

When I played in the Benfica youth teams, they would always call me to play in midfield if someone was missing and I didn't ever embarrass myself.

I don't practise it that much, maybe two or three times a week. It's a natural skill that I have, to hit long balls, so I don't need to practise it every day.

I am very happy to have been called up by the national team. It's indeed another achievement in my career and I've worked a lot and very hard for this moment.

I've always been very good at playing long balls. That was an attribute that my old club Benfica used to exploit because you can't be offside from a goal-kick.

I remember sometimes a difficulty and I realise that it taught me something or it helped me later on. The difficulties in the past are the wins in the present.
