Every time I went away I was deceiving my mum. I`d tell her I was going to school but I`d be out on the street playing football. I always had a ball on my feet.

I`m here to score a lot of goals. It`s my speciality, that`s what I`ve been brought here to do, and I want to score plenty ; like I did with Barcelona. And here, there`s every reason to think I can do it.

Everyone tells me that the Italian championship is the toughest in the world, but I`m not afraid. In my career, I`ve always scored goals, wherever I`ve been.

There is room for individuality, but without the strength of this Brazil group it is nothing.

Goals are always in demand. There will always be a market for a striker who is fast, scores goals regularly and is strong. I`ve scored more than 100 goals and people know what they are buying.

I will celebrate, but I know new goals and objectives will come and I am ready to take them.

I love to score goals after passing all the defenders as well as the keeper. This is not my speciality, but my habit.

I`ve never timed myself over 100m, but I have done a test over shorter distances, 20m or 30m, with and without the ball. What`s strange is that I`m faster with the ball than without it. Some people are born for distance running and others for sprint

My life has always been a series of challenges and I`m psychologically-prepared but this is the biggest challenge of my life.

It will take time for us all to understand what has happened to us, but it is a joy to be surrounded by such happiness.

I am very ambitious. I want to enjoy this and then really go for it.

Of course I`m flattered to be compared to Pele, but Pele only left the playing fields after scoring 1,000 goals and I`m just getting started.

I don`t consider myself as the best player in the world. I`m not obsessed with individual titles. I`m much more interested in being part of a team which wins trophies.
