It's not easy to come somewhere new and have to find your place. You might feel someone doesn't like you, or you might need to find new friends. It's not easy, and I don't like this kind of thing. It's not easy, so you want to protect the players who are alone.

The Champions League is a big ambition and all the footballers want to play in it. It is a very important competition.

When you become an adult you just make that transition and you're right... it's fun and exciting to be an adult and exciting to have independence, but once you're out from under the cover of your family's protection and love, you sort of have to take a step back and come to terms with the fact that you won't really ever have that again in the same way.

My son is a Liverpool fan, and he was already kicking a ball before he was one. He was born in the football city, he had no choice.
