Kaka

My feelings in regards to the national team are simple: If the manager thinks I can be of use, I will be ready for the call.

Neymar will never fail to have technique and creativity.

I am not a great artist like Maradona was with regards to on-the-field matters.

I learned to respect the coach and to do everything within my power to show that I should be the one playing. That's exactly what I did during my three years under Mourinho.

Playing motivates players.

At Real Madrid, everything gets taken to extremes, as much for the good things as the bad things, so you have to adapt to the way that the press and the fans live through different situations.

Jose Mourinho was a difficult coach for me, and we had a respectful but complicated relationship. When I thought he would give me a chance, I couldn't prove to him that I was in good shape.

In 2009, I accepted the proposal of Real Madrid, but I was completely destroyed there because I could not give what I had given Milan. I was completely lost.

I like Seedorf. He is a good coach.

Dani Alves is amazing.

In my time at Milan, the club played with a 4-3-1-2 formation, and I was the player behind the two strikers. At Real, I play behind three. There is a greater defensive obligation, but I try to work around the area.

I know it's hard to follow the example of another team in the same country, but that's what you have to do sometimes.

It's incredible to win an individual award in a team sport and also one where everybody wants to be able to say, 'I'm the best.'

I am always grateful to my team-mates at Milan for what we achieved.

If it's good for me to go to the national team and play there - not just go there to give experience but to play and be useful - I think it's good.

I have been in many teams that have had loads of talent but did not make it through and been with teams that did not have that much talent and ended up being champions.

I stayed in Milan for six years. I stayed in Madrid for four years. I played in Brazil for nine years, so I always think about the good projects.

The best player I have ever played with? That's Ronaldo, il Fenomeno.

Milan is my home, where I chose to go and where my heart really is.

It's not easy to decide what is best for you in the future.
