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]

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.

There are those who say maybe I should forget about football. Maybe I should forget about breathing.

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

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.

I want to keep an English heart to the team. I believe in that. Michael Owen is that. Never think Michael is afraid of anything.
