soccer thinking luck
I think we could do with being a little more adventurous in certain areas and push on that little bit more, while a bit of luck also wouldn't go amiss.
winning player thinking
But I think the Champions League Final puts a massive pressure on every player and the manager, but we're enjoying the pressure and hopefully we can go there and win it.
thinking challenges world
I think everyone around the world knows the tools are there in England's armoury to do well in a World Cup. The challenge is to go out there and prove it.
team winning thinking
Earlier on in the season I'd have been very surprised to think we could win this competition because there were some fantastic teams in it. (on the Champions League)
football player thinking
I think we've got a lot players in the squad who are more suited to European football at the moment.
thinking night leaving
How can I think of leaving Liverpool after a night like this?
soccer thinking hands
We were massive underdogs at the beginning of the competition and I'll put my hands up say and I didn't think we were going to go all the way. But, as you can see, we are never beaten. The manager told us to keep our chins up, to try and score early in the second half and give some respect for the fans. The first goal gave us a bit of belief. The supporters have saved up for weeks and months to come here. I am so happy to lift the cup for the fans.
thinking player names
I think every player listens out for his name being sung and it's something I really enjoy.
dominated goals good minutes tonight
We scored two good goals tonight and dominated for 70 minutes but we were all over the place for 20...Unfortunately, we let them back into it.
eight moment move since single
I've been here since I was eight years old and there has never been a single moment when I have wanted to move on and play for someone else,
ability doubt
Fernando's got ability, there's no doubt about it,
doubt european last season team trophy won
There's no doubt we are a better team than we were last season when we won the European Cup, so let's just say that we aren't about to give up our trophy easily.
against age confident experience maybe percent squad
We had a lot of young players. I don't really think we were 100 percent confident going into it that we could go all the way. Everything was against us - the climate, it was a long journey, maybe the age of the squad and the experience in the squad wasn't ready.
best blend desire dressing experience gang hungry match people quality room seen stands wants winning
We've got the best blend of youth, experience and quality the club's seen in a while. We have a gang of very hungry players. Everyone wants medals. When you've got that desire in a dressing room, and when the punters in the stands and the people in the boardroom match it, then you've got a winning mixture. I look around the dressing room pre-kick-off now and you can see the will to win in people's eyes.
