If someone was ever racist towards me, I would go wild.
— Fernandinho
Pellegrini is always calm; if you have problems, he will try to resolve it.
There are a lot of people in England with good football knowledge.
It is always good when you play away because the fans support their team, and it gives you more motivation to play well.
In Ukraine as well as in Brazil, Manchester City is now considered one of the best teams in the world, and after I signed, people back home in Brazil congratulated me for signing for one of the top teams in the world.
I hope I will be able to repay City for what they have done for me.
Having trust in your manager is the most important thing for a footballer.
It is always tough to play against Norwich.
I don't think City play a Brazilian style - it is more Spanish the way we play here.
It is not a problem - you don't think about the climate, or the cold; we just think about winning the game.
As a human, as a professional player, you have to improve every day, every training session, every game.
I personally like Kolarov. He is one of the funniest players I have played with. Every day, he has something new, and he is a funny guy!
When you have this desire to win, to win, to win, I would not feel comfortable losing a title.
When I was young, I would drive so fast. Now I see it a different way.
I listen to the Manchester news on local radio. It has helped me learn English. I have it on when I am driving to training in the morning.
Getting to the World Cup is a big dream for me.
My father and uncles all encouraged me to play football: every present I ever got would be boots, kit, or a new ball, and that was just how I liked it.
The first season in a new country like England is very difficult.
For me, the Premier League is the best tournament in the world. It's the hardest; you need to be 100 per cent to play every game.
When you play on bad surfaces, you have to show your character and keep your concentration for the whole 90 minutes.
The first time was in Brazil, and the second time was when I was playing for Shakhtar against Inter in Milan. Fans were banned from the stadium on both occasions, and it is different. You have to keep your concentration on the pitch and try to win the game.
My first aim is to play well for my club, Manchester City. If I do, I am sure that will come to the attention of the national manager.
Every player at a high level faces pressure and must respond, and I am ready for that, too.
I spent eight years in Ukraine, and I played against Kiev many times.
To be able to battle is very important.
With Pep in charge, I feel sure we can win significant silverware and, importantly, we will try to do it playing attractive, attacking football.
We know the FA Cup is important for the team and fans.
One of the positive things about Pep is that he is so close with his staff - they support him in every situation, and we, as players, have huge contact with them.
If you want to win the Premier League, you have to win away as well.
We all know the Premier League is so tough and many, many things can happen - right until the last game of the season.
Most of the players can get injured, small ones and big ones. But when you get the small ones, you have to fight against them and play, play, play.
You think about past World Cups - in 2006, it was a fantastic Brazil team, but we did not do so well that year. In 2010, the same: it did not go far, either - only the quarter-finals. But in '94 and 2002, Brazil did not play the best football but won the World Cup; they found a way to win.
Since I was 13 years old, I made sure I was going to training every day.
Some of my friends wanted to do different things, but all I ever wanted to do was play outside with a ball.
I was so happy to finish my first season in England with two trophies.
I believe my chances of making the World Cup squad will improve if I join City. My exposure would be better because Brazil is biased towards the Ukrainian league.
Champions League matches are not always played on good pitches.
It is not easy to play two games, travel, and keep the same performance in 48 hours.
I know a lot about City.
It is impossible to do it for the whole game, but when you have the ball for most of the game and have players like Samir Nasri, David Silva, Yaya Toure, and Raheem Sterling, they keep the ball so well.
The Premier League is always like that - you never know what can happen! Even at the top of the table and bottom of the table.
You need to be ready for all situations.
Of course, when you lose any game, the feeling is so bad. But you have to be professional and have to be clever and overcome this situation and try to work on that and try to fix the problem and solve for the next game.
It's always difficult when you have had a game in midweek to get to a final.
I like to hear BBC Manchester about the news and to learn English and the Manchester accent.
It's good when you score goals because you are helping your team. For yourself as well, it's good, but the most important thing is the strength of the team.
Football doesn't depend just on your brain. It's not like on a computer. It depends on your body, too, and sometimes you are tired. Sometimes the opponent closes the space very well and marks you very well. Football depends on many things, not just on you.
I learned not to fight against the many bad things in football and try to always battle through injuries. That's one of the most important things I learned.
The Premier League is considered the best league in the world.
I moved cities when I was 17, and I moved countries when I was 20. Every time, I put football at the forefront and, if you do that, you don't have such a hard time settling in.
