best came club felt honest liverpool massive people saturday soon watch work
Liverpool is a massive club in reputation, but as soon as I came here, it felt like Atletico to me. It is a working city, an honest city. The people work all week, and on Saturday they want to go to Anfield and watch the best team in the world.
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.
thinking cities people
One of the reasons I chose to come to Liverpool was because of the mentality of the club. It's a working club and a working city. I don't know why, but I feel like one of the people here. They recognise me and wish me luck, but in Spain, they surround you and you can't do anything. I think they're happy with me here.
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.
nice people
When I get to connect with people, I'm not in my head anymore and I like that, that's nice.
writing opposites people
The writing is therapeutic for me, it's an introverted process, I'm really inside my head. It's a really obsessive process. The live show, though, is the opposite. It's an extroverted process. It pushes me to connect with people, and so it pulls me out of my head and just pulls me out of myself.
home ideal madrid seville
Valencia, Seville or Madrid would make an ideal home for the team.
chance convinced finishing playoffs
If things don't go our way we should be in the playoffs but I'm convinced we've still got a chance of finishing in first place.
came last minute offer
Newcastle's offer came at the last minute when the Primera Liga had already started,
helps hope next positive week
Let's hope what we've done this week helps us to get something positive in our next games.
fans home opponents permanent players support team
The players really like the idea of having a permanent home where the team can feel comfortable, get more support from the fans and where our opponents will feel uncomfortable,
clear finished game played point reference
We have a clear reference point which is the game we played in Guimaraes and that finished 3-0. We have to play like we did that day.
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.
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.
