I always want to feel happy, whether I am with my friends and family or out on the football field for Chelsea.
— Willian
If I have to return to Brazil, I'd like to play at Corinthians again. It represents a lot, I was born and raised there, my footballing career began there when I was nine, I've spent my entire childhood there.
I have always liked playing with number ten. Since I was a kid playing indoors football, I have always used the number ten. At Corinthians I was also number ten.
To play for Chelsea, you have to put your mind to winning titles every year.
On the pitch we tend to forget the things that happen off the field. I try to focus a lot on what I'm doing.
I really like living in London. It is a charming city, where everything happens and there is lots to do. There is a very good quality of life here.
I like Chelsea, Milan and Inter. I have always followed the two Italian teams because my role models when I was young were Ronaldinho and Ronaldo, and they played for those teams.
Always I say that I want to stay at Chelsea as long as possible, and I am happy to stay here.
Mourinho is the best manager I've ever worked with.
I knew Chelsea had made some offers while I was at Shakhtar so when I eventually arrived here, after a short spell with Anzhi Makhachkala, it was amazing. Having David Luiz, Oscar and Ramires here when I joined was very important for me because they helped me a lot with the language and inside the club, so it was very helpful.
I like the Premier League.
Mourinho is a coach who likes more the ball practice, works the ball possession and makes short games.
I'm happy with the confidence that Tite has shown me. He and his coaching staff have been doing a great job. My relationship with him is the best I can hope for and I always say that he cares about all the players equally, giving the same level of attention to first-team players and reserves.
My goal is to stay here at Chelsea. Unless Chelsea does not want me anymore - then I'd have to find another club!
You mature, you learn things.
I've earned quite a lot of money in Donetsk.
When I was a kid, I dreamed of wearing the Selecao shirt in a World Cup.
I like to smile a lot and I always try to be happy, joking around and stuff.
I've been a Corinthians fan since I was little, even before I played there, my family also supports the club.
It doesn't matter where we play. It doesn't matter whether the season has finished or not. We have to play the same way, stay focused all of the time and go there to win.
I always liked watching Ronaldo and Ronaldinho; they were the players who I dreamt about meeting. They inspired me a lot in my own style of play.
I always try to play happily.
There are a lot of players that I wanted to play with, but I always wanted to play with Ronaldinho. He's been always my idol, I am a fan of his.
It's difficult when you start to play football. My boots were much worse.
A lot of people they say a lot of things in the press, but I never said that I want to leave Chelsea, never.
Chelsea always want to win trophies.
After Brazil, London is my favourite city. I love to live here.
Mourinho is a fantastic coach and won everything wherever he went.
I worked with Mourinho and I became his friend as well. He likes me a lot and I like him a lot as a coach and as a person. He has put his trust in me and in my work, and I was very grateful to him.
Both sides of the game, defensively and offensively, are important.
Loyalty and honesty, those are important.
I don't know how I can explain that moment. But it was the best moment I think in my life when I signed with Chelsea because it was my dream to come here.
We always enter competitions to win but things don't always happen the way we want.
The World Cup is a tournament that practically does not allow errors, especially in the final.
I guess I'd say my vibe is to be happy at all times.
I think Chelsea is Chelsea. No matter the players we have, we have to fight until the end in every competition.
If you are a team that wants to win something, you have to play for 90 minutes with concentration and focus.
I think that for a player to develop fully on the pitch he needs to be happy.
Diego Costa is the one who plays around a lot, who jokes a lot in the dressing room. It's just his way, joking around with all of us, every hour of every day.
My dream is to play with the selecao in the World Cup in Brazil and I will have more chance to realise the dream if I play for a big team.
It was totally different. I am living in Sao Paulo and then I'm in Ukraine living in a small city called Donetsk. There's the weather, the language. I went there with my family. That helped a little bit and I ended up staying there for five-and-a-half years. It was important there that I had so many Brazilian players.
It's always good to reach a final and fight for titles.
To win the Premier League is not easy.
For me the Premier League is the best league in the world. And London is a great city. My family love to live here.
Every coach has his way of working.
Of course, Eden is a fantastic player, one of the best players in the world. He's my friend, one of the best players I've played with in my whole career.
It is totally different to play in the Premier League to the Champions League.
Every professional has their way of working.
With Shakhtar I also won a set of titles not only in Ukraine but in Europe also. I felt comfortable there.
The World Cup is the ultimate moment for any player. It is the opportunity to defend your country in the biggest tournament in the world and the moment the whole world will watch you play.
