I am up to the speed of the Premier League, and that was what I was looking for.
— Fabinho
Playing for Liverpool, I know what the relationship between the fans and the club is like. With every player, you can see the desire to win, the desire to show that Liverpool are the best and deserve to win the league.
I can play wherever the manager wants.
The Premier League has a lot of intensity, a lot of physicality.
Monaco have been very important for me. It's the club that has helped me into the Selecao.
I was sad to leave Monaco, a club that gave me a lot of great moments, but in football, sometimes you need new challenges, and I thought it was time to move on.
The Premier League, if not the best league in the world, is among the two best. It has a much higher visibility than Ligue 1 in France.
With the Champions League, it's not bad staying at Monaco.
It is good to have someone who can help with day-to-day life for me and for my family. This is very important.
I believe I am a player that can organise the game well for my team.
Enjoy the games, and go on the pitch with happiness, and go game by game.
There's no doubt about it: I think that my versatility helps me.
Liverpool are known for this 'rock and roll' football. I think I've adapted well to this even if, as a player, I like to hold onto the ball longer.
I get a lot of front ball in a position that, normally, the opponent's defense is making the move outwards, and our attackers are getting in.
I know it is really hard to win a league, especially the Premier League, but we have experienced players here at Liverpool.
I had the good luck to have the experience of training with fantastic football players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Ozil, Modric, and I also played for Real Madrid B. That was a fantastic experience because it was my first international experience as a football player and taught me a lot as a football player.
I want to play for a club that fights to win the Champions League title.
I have adapted well in Liverpool.
It's a different playing style than at Monaco; there were two of us in midfield there, and here at Liverpool, there's three.
I was never close to signing for Manchester United, no.
I've got a good understanding with Tiemoue Bakayoko.
I'm on the right track to completely adapting to England.
It's good to have someone who speaks your language in everyday life, especially for me, who does not speak English so well.
I play with a lot of intensity, and I'm quite strong in man-marking.
It's not easy to replace the best centre-back in the world.
I've been fortunate enough to win titles; I've been unfortunate enough to get relegated as well.
Firmino is a player who is really good at adapting to different positions. He is a No. 9, but he helps a lot in build-up play.
Being in midfield, in general, you don't have a lot of time to think, and in the Premier League, that's even less of the case. You just don't have time to think.
When I went to Real Madrid, I was only 18 or 19 years old. It was my first year as a professional footballer. I was very young.
Guardiola, Zidane, who's doing a great work, Tite, also doing a great job in the national team, Simeone. These are managers I would like to work with some day.
The Premier League is a league that I've always wanted to play in. The pace is high.
As soon as Liverpool declared their interest in signing me, it was a simple decision to make. A club with Liverpool's history wants you? Come on, you just pack your bags and go. It will be an honour to wear the famous red shirt.
My process to adapt to English football has been very good.
Bernardo Silva is a key player, like Thomas Lemar.
Sadio Mane is an excellent player. Before I came to Liverpool, I saw him on TV, and I liked him a lot.
Before signing with Liverpool, I talked to Roberto Firmino about what the club is like and what the city is like. He spoke well of the club and the city and other people who have already visited the city. The information only gave me more motivation to come to Liverpool.
If the fans are liking what I've been doing, and they want to create a song for me, let's get on with it!
I haven't played a lot as a centre-back, but in those games, I feel like I did well.
Playing for relegation and livelihoods and people's jobs - that's pressure. Being at the top of the table, we should be enjoying it.
I'm happy at Liverpool. There's no reason for me to leave.
