A: It's true! I think he's the first person who asks me that question and thinks with real reasoning. I think that [los críticos] is focused on who suffers the faults and not on who does them, because whoever does them is unhurt. I did not go to the World Cup to suffer fouls. I went to win, and my opponents obviously would not leave me alone. They would not let me go wrong, because they know that if they do not do it, I'll stop at it.

I do not think that Brazilian football is the one that dribbles and European football is the hardest. Football is growing more and more. I think equality [de estilos] is huge today. We know how difficult it is to play football, even more so for those of us who are attackers. We know defenders will not let us go without trying to avoid them, so it gets harder and harder. But there is someone in charge and it is not me. It is the referee. I can not be referee and player at the same time. If I could, it would be easier! (laughs)

A: No, there is pressure for all players. Of course, there are two different stems when they relate to my name. I know, and my responsibility, not only with the national team, but also with the clubs where I have played and where I play, has always been very important. Since the age of 17 or 18, when I went to the national team, I already knew the requirements that I had and I prepared for that. And I know very well that when the results do not arrive, the criticisms begin and the claims are greater.
