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

When you play sports like tennis, you’re alone, and that’s a good school for life, but it’s also a good school for life to bring your best and make those around you better, too – helping others in difficult moments.

I’m looking forward to the intensity of football and how the people live football in Liverpool. It’s a special club.

I didn’t take many penalties, but I never missed one.

If you want special results, you have to feel special things and do special things together.

If two smart, intelligent, clever guys sit together on a table, and you both want the same, where can be the problem? We all want to be successful.

I get a little bit emotional during a game!

It is my job to help the players react better.

I understand aggressiveness in only one way: being prepared to hurt yourself, not someone else.

I love pets, especially dogs.

I’ve thought sometimes about what I like about football, and it’s playing together.

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

The emotion to handle the pressure is one of the biggest challenges in football – it’s the top challenge.

I have only one understanding of development and of making success, and that’s by going step by step.

The city gave us a goodbye party, and it lasted a week.

When you create circumstances together, when you try everything, then you can lose. But you need to show the importance.

You’d be waiting 30 or 40 years for me to build a table. I have more than two left hands.

I’ve got a long way to go to being the ultimate best, but I think my time is now. And I’m starting to enter my prime.

All right, every day ain’t going to be the best day of your life, don’t worry about that. If you stick to it you hold the possibility open that you will have better days.

You never know if you have met your best friend in life yet. That still may be to come.

For five years I’ve felt like the best prostitute in a high-class whorehouse. But all the other girls get paid more than I do.

Humanity is best described as inhumanity.

There’s nothing I’ve ever worked on that beat ‘Game of Thrones’ – that’s a 10-hour movie; they put a lot of money in it.

The beloved fears and hates the lover, and with the best of reasons. For the lover is forever trying to strip bare his beloved.

I’m always hungry. I want to be the best.
