Every game is different.

The most important thing is to enjoy football because you don't know how long your career is going to last, but it is difficult when things don't go well.

You always have to put pressure on an opponent.

Every game is a new game, and anything can happen.

You want to be able to look back and feel you were part of Liverpool's great history - win something here, and they will always remember you.

I want to be remembered as a Liverpool player who was part of something special.

You want to play against the best and beat the best.

There were loads of managers who said, 'You have to concentrate on being a winger because you have more potential there.' But I was like, 'You can say what you want, but I'm a midfielder, and I know what's the best for me.'

I was full of confidence in myself that I would reach the top or be a professional player as a midfielder.

You're always disappointed when you lose a game.

Normally, I am a player who can play in different positions, but never in defence.

I don't care what other people say about me. I know what I'm capable of.

If you look at the difference games between the bigger and smaller teams, the difference in concentration, and being passive is big; that is my opinion.

It is a fault of the whole team if you don't deliver.

If a whole team doesn't perform, you cannot pick one player especially and say, 'He doesn't do this or do that.'

I can play in different positions, and if I can do what I'm good at, score goals, show how good I can play football, then it's OK with me.

I think, a lot of teams, when they come to Anfield and they play a draw, they think it is a good result.

When you play at home, you want the fans behind you, and you must give them something back.

Sometimes you need luck to score.

I think Anfield is a fortress.

At Under-11/12, I was playing as a right-back. The manager then was Cyril Helstone, and he said to me, 'No, you're not a defender. You should be in midfield.' That was the big change in my career because from that moment until I made my debut in the first-team at Feyenoord, that was the position I played.

At seven, I played centre-back. When you're so young, though, it's more to enjoy the training and to get a feel for the game. It's not heavy on tactics of a position. We were playing on a half pitch, seven against seven or eight against eight, so they say you're a centre-back, but it's not like the real definition.

Because I was fast, technical, and could dribble well, it was always the easy thing to label me just a winger and have me stick to that.

I have to be honest: in my career, I've really had to fight to come in the middle again. A lot of managers told me, 'You are way more comfortable as a winger than as a midfielder,' but I always kept my trust and confidence in what I knew about my qualities.
