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.

We don't have any splits here. The players country is Liverpool Football Club and their language is football.

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]

Today you play for a place in history, today you play for immortality.

When I see the Bill Shankly statue, I look at the sentiment on the base. It says: 'He made the people happy’. Well now the modern Liverpool is making the fans and the city happy. And that makes me so proud.

My philosophy is that the club is more important than anyone!

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