To win is my mentality.

An assist is like a goal for me.

I do not like to talk about luck.

That is how I play, I never give up.

I joke every day, pranks, sometimes.

I try to be happy and to give a smile.

I work a lot in the gym on injury prevention.

Play in Ligue 1 is very closed, very aggressive.

My ultimate ambition is to win the Premier League.

I changed Portugal to France and France to England.

I want to give the fans a lot of things to celebrate.

I like to talk to my team-mates. Communication is key.

To play better, you have to think faster than the others.

Ronaldo and Messi, those are the two best players in the world.

I have always said that one day I would like to play in the Premier League.

Porto is a club which offers maximum stability to help me show my best level.

It's true I was interested in going to Everton, but I didn't accept the offer.

We enjoy what we do and, for me, playing football is the best work in the world.

Some things are ridiculous and just as us players and coaches need to improve, so does VAR.

I do what I need to do to stay fit. I train well. I eat well. I drink water and hydration drinks.

What's important is to find a good balance between the team, the objectives and the financial aspect.

You have to be able to analyse things well. Before I receive a pass, I always look to see what options I have.

At first, I am a bit timid, but when I know people I feel better. Then I give a real impression of Joao Moutinho.

We never give up until the ref's final whistle, we never give up we try to score one more to win the game - that's what we do.

I am small and sometimes I don't go to the contact but the players need to be intelligent and know what they can and can't do.

I don't like to lose, no matter what I am playing. Football, tennis, head tennis, no matter what. If I am playing something, I am playing to win.

I think that Cristiano is a very complete player in all aspects, Messi is too but these two players, they differ from another. I would prefer Ronaldo.

Believe in yourself and believe in your dreams. Follow them, never give up, that's the most important thing. If you believe you can get there, then one day you will.

In football we need to be intelligent because sometimes you can have a lot of things but you need to know when to pass or stay with the ball, when you go to the counter-attack.

The Premier League is the best in the world. It is fascinating because of all the teams, the atmosphere and stadiums. The football is of course a little more aggressive, there is more contact but I like this.

A team doesn't have the ball for 90 minutes. It is about the recoveries. I do my best to do that and help the team any way I can. If that's a pass, an assist, a tackle or even if it's only running, I do it for the team.

We score and stop. We don't celebrate because it has to go to VAR. What are the supporters doing? The passion goes. I think they have to have a little more flexibility, such as with the offside rule. If it's not clear and obvious, maintain the decision of the referee.
