“Playing for Benfica made me a mature person.”

“Some say the football is being played differently in many countries, but it is just an excuse.” 
 
“There was a specific reason why I didn’t want be loaned, but when I was loaned, I never played like I was going to leave the club at the end of the season.”

“ I have known Ricardo Quaresma since my adolescent years; we are like brothers and share a lot.”
