The Brazilian star confessed in an interview with Barca TV

Barcelona's new signing did not hide the fact that his idol has always been Ronaldinho. "All the Brazilians had a great story at Barcelona but Ronaldinho was always my idol," he told Barca TV. He wants "everything to go well. I will work hard to live up to the expectations on me in training and on the pitch."

During the interview he spoke about the different tattoos he has on his body. "I have various tattoos. A phrase that in Spanish means 'never stop dreaming', various dedicated to my daughter, one with the name of my wife, as well as my parents' names." 

The most interesting tattoo is that of Mickey Mouse. He explained "I did it with my wife for our daughter. She got Minnie and I got Mickey."

He says that before he goes out on the field he has a tradition of "thanking God for my health and the opportunity to be able to play football."
