You have to know what club you are playing for, or you just play for yourself. Every time I put on a Liverpool shirt, I know it is more than just a football game.

At Liverpool, I had almost everything but titles. I felt like a king, but the team was falling apart.

If football was a drug, I would have died from overdose.

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.
