Manchester United fullback Fabio da Silva knows there's great expectations on himself and twin brother Rafael.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson expects both players to be big stars at Old Trafford.
And Fabio said: "The night before I first moved here, I never slept. I was wondering what would happen. Here everything is different, but we are adapting.
"The pressure is something you feel. It can be daunting, but it also shows people respect you."
Meanwhile, Rafael da Silva admits he's found it difficult to make friends in England.
Rafael and twin brother Fabio are close and admit they do not have many friends outside their inner circle.
"We do not care about drinking, partying and stuff," said Rafael. "And people here are different. It is difficult to make friends.
"Robinho lived here (when he was with Manchester City) and liked to party. But each has his way and knows himself. There's no reason to be homesick."
However the twins have ruled out pledging their international future to Portugal.
The pair, who have both played for Brazil U17, qualify for Portugal through family connections and there are concerns they could turn their back on Brazil.
"No way," declared Fabio.
"Our biggest dream is to represent Brazil at the 2014 World Cup. Of course it is wonderful to be in Manchester, and we want to stay here for a long time.
"But we'll never stop being Brazilian."
