“He is really something. I love him. He is Sir Arsene Wenger.”

I know I’m more on television, and I’m more recognisable than maybe even the players because they run and train, but I just stand there, and my face does all these funny things that everyone can see all the time.

Liverpool is a club with a big, big, big history, and all the clubs in the world have a big history if the present is not too successful.

When we have the ball, the other team has to run. The most important thing is for the players to be prepared to be a little bit wild.

I’ve met some Evertonians in the street, and they’ve been friendly. I’ve had taxi drivers who have been Everton fans. They’ve been really nice.

In Germany, they all thought I was a bit mental, very emotional.

We don’t want people to leave the stadium until the game finishes.

It’s absolutely normal that different human beings want to go different ways.

When the players go home, I can’t tell them what to do, so you need to create an atmosphere of trust. I don’t want to think, ‘What are they doing now? Do I need to call them?’

Life is too short not to celebrate nice moments!

My experience is listen, see, feel – and then think about what you change.

When I was a player there, we had 800 supporters on rainy Saturday afternoons, and if we died, no one would notice or come to our funeral. But we loved the club, and we have this same feeling at Dortmund.

The German word ‘will’ is the English word ‘want,’ so that’s a little bit of the problem.

I am a very emotional guy. What I love, I do with all I have.

I love football and the intensity of football in Liverpool, this is what is very good for me.

I only change things where I know about a situation. I’d never change just for change.

I think a father is important for everyone. If you don’t have, then maybe not so much. In the world today, it’s possible that you grow up with only one parent in the family.

So it’s really cool just to be the start of something pretty special for our culture.

Getting high is a lot more real than listening to a politician. You can think that getting high actually did happen – that you danced, and got sweaty, and carried on. It really did happen.

My heart breaks. Really, I have tears in my eyes. Central midfield is Shinji’s best role.

I prefer to focus on what is coming next and I am really looking forward to it.

I’m really good at math and history, but I suck in English.

We are really proud of our culture and, really, just being a minority.

I’m really a normal football manager.

I don’t really get to attend church. That’s definitely one of the challenges.
