In Latin America the border between soccer and politics is vague. There is a long list of governments that have fallen or been overthrown after the defeat of the national team.

I'm not envious of Leo [Messi]or Ney [Neymar]. Why would I be? If there is envy in the dressing room, you know it's only going to affect results.

In the Premier League you never really know what is going to happen. There is very little between the teams.

Everything you see comes from inside. People don't see it but inside the dressing room we laugh and joke a lot so it's not just for the cameras. It's the way things are off the pitch too. We are happy for each other, it is all natural.

It was a dream to arrive at Liverpool but I never wanted to just settle for what I had achieved. I wanted more.

I never told you this but I always thought the club should have recognised you far more when you retired. For the career that you had, one of Liverpool's greatest players, you should have had a much bigger and better send-off in your final match. That's just what I felt.

There is always a chance to get even and I'm proud of the fact that for all the blows I always got back up again. That's what makes me most content.
