Liverpool players must play like a lion, give his all. There must be determination, commitment and resolve to be a Liverpool player.

It is important for the club to find a balance in a world driven by economic and political needs. This club usually does that [on leaving Liverpool]

You can't build a cathedral in a day. A look at the club's history tells you these things take time.

You have different levels of players. There's are Premier League, international and world-class levels. The world-class level is players at the peak of their career and there's only maybe 50 maximum in the whole world. Stevie moved from a Premier League player to an international player and then world class.
