I thought about the problems I had growing up: how I prioritised football over school, but people were telling me I wouldn't make it, that it wasn't possible. The thing is, I did make it, thanks to my own will and determination and the help of some people I had around me in my hometown.
— Richarlison
Pressure, responsibility - I'm used to playing in big clubs.
Neymar has been an idol of mine since childhood. I've always tried to mirror myself in the way he plays, and I've also tried imitating some of his haircuts.
I have been watching Brazil since I was a little kid.
I have the dream of playing at a World Cup and winning a Champions League.
I just want to thank Everton for the opportunity and Watford for having opened the doors for me in England.
I want to show I can play at my best for a whole Premier League season.
I used to sell candy and ice creams in the street, and I worked in the fields to help my parents.
I want to be a top scorer with my national team.
I want to continue to score goals.
I did not think twice when the offer from England came because it was always a professional goal of mine. I want to make history in Watford and score lots of goals.
I never thought that I'd be playing in the biggest league in the world.
Yerry Mina's a great guy. He's also a great dancer! When he played for Palmeira,s he'd always celebrate with a dance. We became friends, and I speak to him regularly.
I want to evolve and improve as a professional.
It is a big responsibility to play for Brazil. But I know how to deal with it.
It's always good to have players who can help us in attack.
I feel I have been developing more and more.
Marco Silva is always talking to me in training; he is always giving me guidance on positioning in the area. His coaching is essential for me. He is training me with an eye to being in the right place at the right time when balls come into the box so I am able to score more goals.
I was ready to give up football, but I lifted my head, and I went to Belo Horizonte with just the money for an outward ticket for the last trial I had, with America MG. If I didn't make it, I had no money to get home to Espiritu Santo, 600 kilometres away. I gave my all that morning, and I passed.
I'm a guy who always seeks the goal.
I don't have the words to describe what the fans have done for me.
It is a dream from my childhood: I always wanted to play in the Premier League, which is one of the best leagues in the world.
I'll never forget this memory: I was at home, and suddenly my father came home with 10 footballs for me. I lived by a football pitch, so every day, I'd take the ball and practice shooting.
Bernard is a great player, a player for the Brazilian national team, and I also followed his progress with Atletico Mineiro.
It is a very, very difficult thing to get into the Brazil national team, so when you achieve that, it makes you really happy, and you want it to continue for as long as possible.
I feel at home and very happy with the national team. Even with the responsibility, I am very proud I can go and be in that environment.
I'm very happy at Everton; it's a very good club with very good structure. The fans love the club and the players.
I feel really good at Everton. My team-mates are helping me with my confidence on the field, and that is vital. And being part of the Brazil national team has been really important for my morale and a positive thing for my confidence.
I have learned that you need to have patience, perseverance, and faith in people to reach your goals.
I haven't got enough fingers to count the number of clubs who rejected me.
Neymar makes difficult games easy.
God has made everything perfect for me.
