I had five great years at Liverpool and I would rather just keep that memory as it is.

I have been progressing throughout my career, which is a very good sign.

Being a manager is so different to being a footballer. It's a very difficult job, but, of course, it's very exciting as well.

---

Managing Liverpool? Yes, for sure, I have dreamt of that, but first I have to prove myself and prepare.

If you win the midfield, you probably win the game. But that doesn't mean the players in the midfield are the ones alone who determine that, because now we have strikers who drop into midfield and defenders who move up into the midfield. It is the area you must dominate.

If you have control of the midfield, you have control of the game, and you have more chances to win.

I am still a Liverpool fan and will be forever, absolutely

Leaving Liverpool was the toughest decision I had to make in football because I was in an exemplary club, a proper football club, with a lovely and sharing stadium that meant a lot of things to me. The fans are the best in the world, no doubt about that, and I was comfortable there.

I accept I am going to miss playing because it's such an important part in my life. It's going to be difficult to fill that gap. Life goes on.

I don't think tackling is a quality. It is a recurso, something you have to resort to, not a characteristic of your game.
