Twenty six year old FIFA world player of the year and currently a member of the Brazilian national team and AC Milan has said that he expects to peak in time for the World Cup in South Africa in 2010.

In an interview today he said that he felt that he was far off his peak in terms of fitness and technical ability.

He added that he will only be twenty eight years old in 2010 and would be just about right to reach his true potential.

From there he would begin to look forward to the climax of his career, the 2014 World Cup in his home country of Brazil.

He concluded by saying that he would relish the thought of playing alongside his fellow countryman Ronaldinho should he finally end up at AC Milan.
