"He"s a great player; I"ve played with him in the Brazilian team and also against him when he was playing for Shakhtar," said Ramires.
"It"s difficult to say that you know an opponent because the way they play can be very different from what you are used to so you have to adapt and prepare, not only for him, but the whole team.
"We also have to be careful about the likes of Yaya and [David] Silva because they are capable of making a big difference."
