“The intensity of the football and how the people live football in Liverpool – it is not a usual.”

The best football is always about expression of emotion. Always.

Crazy players love me. I don’t know why.

It’s a rule to give all, and it can make the difference if you work more. If you don’t have to give all, and you still win, what’s this?

I don’t want to spend money the club doesn’t have; I don’t want to hold a player that doesn’t want to stay.

I’m not sure what you need first – the players believing or others believing in them – but in the end, both have to think it.

Winning the title in England is the biggest challenge of them all.

We should play free football, defend lively with a passion, and have the best understanding in offence.

To be successful, you need results in a row. You can’t win, lose, win, lose.

I’m not a genius. I need other people to get the perfect information. When we have this, we will decide to sign or sell a player.

To win is always good for the feeling of the whole team.

It’s not about changing people; it’s sometimes about changing a situation. How can we build an even better situation for them?

In Dortmund, they say the derby is more important than the championship. You can feel it around the game.

The only thing I can say is that I like people; I like human beings with their faults and with their strengths.

Shinji Kagawa is one of the best players in the world, and he now plays 20 minutes at Manchester United – on the left wing!

When I started analysing games in 2001, I had a DVD recorder.

Without being the most confident person in the world, I think I am the right person for Liverpool.

The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity.

I am little concerned with beauty or perfection. I don’t care for the great centuries. All I care about is life, struggle, intensity.

People happy in love have an air of intensity.

The peak of intensity is numbness not emotionless.

If a leader doesn’t convey passion and intensity then there will be no passion and intensity within the organization and they’ll start to fall down and get depressed.

Great lovers will always be unhappy, because, for them, love is of supreme importance. Consequently they demand of their beloved the same intensity of thought as they have for her, otherwise they feel betrayed.

The successful men of today are men of one overmastering idea, one unwavering aim, men of single and intense purpose.

Having once found the intensity of art, nothing else that can happen in life can ever again seem as important as the creative process.
