The new boy in Chelsea's midfield has been adjusting quickly to life in west London and the Premier League.

How do things work at Cobham for you?
Talking wise I talk to a lot of the Portuguese speaking players, and in the dressing room I sit next to Daniel Sturridge and Jeffrey Bruma, they are both very calm and tranquil.
Which of your team-mates impressed you this weekend?
The whole team was impressive, but when I try to watch a game I try to focus on the players in my position so that I can learn more and see how they work on the pitch. Lately I have been very impressed with Essien, Mikel and Lampard.
What did you notice about your first match at Stamford Bridge?
To play every game in a stadium like that is a motivation, I was so impressed with the fans supporting their teams.
What's the most memorable dressing down you've experienced at half-time?
When I arrived at Cruzeiro, my team in Brazil before Benfica, it was only one week and things hadn't been going well. The assistant manager decided to have a meeting, and everyone was told off, with lots of shouting!
What is 'home' for you?
When I think of this word I think of family, friends and holidays, anywhere where you have people that care for you. Whether you are performing or not you always have these people beside you.
How is the search for a home?
I found an apartment in London already, and I will be near to Alex.
AWAY
Which other sports do you like watching on TV?
Tennis and golf, though I don't understand it very well but I am watching and learning a bit more.
Any famous friends outside of football?
No, I don't think so.
How much of London have you seen so far?
On my first day off I did a tour to see all the main attractions. Not on a big bus no! I was in a van and the driver drove me around, and let me out at places, so I saw Big Ben, the London Eye and Buckingham Palace.
What is your favourite place to escape from it all?
I like to be at home with my wife and my baby boy, who is five months old.
