Because Brazil Chance Play Portugal

More by Deco

I will do my best wherever I am on the pitch.

Steven Gerrard is the best player in the Premier League. He has a lot of quality, moves around the field and attacks when he can.

I think I can be compatible with Lampard on the pitch.

I am Brazilian and love my country, but I don't regret playing for Portugal. It was and still is a way of thanking the country for the opportunity it gave me.

In my opinion there are two Premier Leagues in the same season. In the winter, games are more difficult, especially around Boxing Day, which can be complicated for clubs.

It's nice to play under pressure and know you can't fail. It's a nice responsibility to have.

I would like to have played with VAR, I think it would have helped me.

Everybody wants to see good football.

I have worked hard and I have had to overcome many obstacles, but now I am happy.

My career was practically spent in Portugal, people on the street asked me to play for the country.

I'm at home in London.

No-one can be compared to Pele.
