00:19 I think that not only Brazil, but some other teams, 8 or so, all the favorite teams, this cup will be very tough.
00:33 I think all the teams are very prepared and I think we have to prepare ourselves to give our best during the competition.
00:42 As I said before, all the teams are under pressure, with this favoritism, not only Brazil, but all the others.
00:51 But we have to give our best step by step and win the games.
00:57 I think that some teams will be surprised, but Spain, Germany, because they are the current champions, and other countries as well.

01:12 I think so. Brazil is back to the high level, to play well, to win the games, and to bring back that beautiful Brazilian game.
01:23 Coutinho, as we all know, is an excellent player, a magician, as he is called here in England.
01:31 He chose to go to Barcelona, to change clubs, but whenever we meet in the national team, we keep in touch, we are friends.
01:44 He is an exceptional guy, that football gave me.
01:47 I think that the national team is growing very fast, with Professor Tite.
01:53 They are all playing great football, scoring goals, and they did an excellent qualifying.
02:04 I hope we can keep up with the work.

02:23 Of course, it was a childhood dream, I always dreamed of playing in a World Cup.
02:28 I hope I can make it come true.
02:30 I will be in Maceió for Christmas, with my whole family.
02:35 I have good memories of Brazil, because I was the champion, and I will only do the best.
02:42 It was a celebration of fame, I even cut Ronaldinho's hair, the big helmet.
02:48 I really got into this World Cup vibe, I really lived it.
