football son cities
My son is a Liverpool fan, and he was already kicking a ball before he was one. He was born in the football city, he had no choice.
want fans joining
I want to say thanks to the Chelsea fans because I have seen them very, very happy with me for joining Chelsea.
soccer football holiday
Sometimes I'd like to have a conversation with a friend in a restaurant without feeling I'm being watched. At this rate I will have to go on holiday to Greenland. But maybe the Eskimos would know me.
football games play
You have to know what club you are playing for, or you just play for yourself. Every time I put on a Liverpool shirt, I know it is more than just a football game.
kings team fall
At Liverpool, I had almost everything but titles. I felt like a king, but the team was falling apart.
ambition play champions-league
The Champions League is a big ambition, and all the footballers want to play in it, it is a very important competition.
moving cities people
Madrid is not as big as London, but it is true when you are coming from a big city like Madrid, nothing is going to surprise you, and I am very happy to move to a city like London. It is a big city, and you can do everything you want with the respect that the English people always have.
football player europe
The Premier League is very difficult football and very different to when you play in Europe, but the player has to have experience to adapt, and this is the key point.
football leaving clubs
My head is in Liverpool and on helping save our season. I am professional and I always fulfil my deals. I haven't considered leaving, although in football that depends on the club.
although close continue feet ground hope run season
We're doing well because everyone is working hard. We hope the run will continue on Saturday, although we need to keep our feet on the ground because this season we have been close to the relegation zone.
blend compact difficult freshness hoping side veterans
We're hoping that with the right blend of battle-hardened veterans and the freshness and verve of youth, we can become a very compact side and one that is very difficult to beat.
came fan favourite few meet music nice songs steven trying understand
I am a big fan of the Gallagher brothers. At Liverpool, they came a few times; they are friends of Steven Gerrard. It was nice to meet them. When I was in Spain, I couldn't speak English, so I couldn't understand the lyrics. When I came to England, I started studying music and trying to understand what my favourite songs said.
european exactly feels major
After winning the European Championship with Spain, I know exactly how it feels to win a major trophy, and I know that, if we can win at Liverpool, it will feel the same or even better than it did with Spain.
life love people realise
I didn't realise how my life was changing. When I was 17, 18, 20, I didn't realise how big football was and everything around football. How many people live for football and love football. I was a professional, but I was a supporter.
