00:00 Karl.
00:01 Hi.
00:03 Just on a sort of line, a lot of times you talk about the journey and the emotional journey
00:11 they've had, rather than the trophies and the results.
00:14 I'm just wondering what you're going to take away from the experience?
00:18 Same.
00:19 Outside of the results?
00:20 I know, same. Look, it's nearly a decade in my life,
00:23 and super influential in so many ways.
00:26 I spoke before about how hard it will be to say goodbye,
00:30 I love absolutely everything about this place, I do.
00:32 And...
00:35 I take memories with me, fantastic memories,
00:42 I take friendships with me, relationships with me, forever.
00:52 Look, I think you realise that the older you get, when time slips through your fingers,
00:57 whereas we only realise that later on, you look back and think, "My God, that was quick."
01:02 I don't think it was quick, it's not that I feel it as if I would have arrived yesterday,
01:07 I really think it was the absolute opposite of a waste of time.
01:12 We used absolutely everything and tried to make the best out of everything,
01:18 tried to enjoy it as much as possible, and a decade in your life is a massive one,
01:26 and I will not forget...
01:28 I'm not going to say a minute, but I will not forget a day in that time,
01:33 because I met the best people I ever met,
01:37 and I did it for the best club I could have imagined.
01:46 So that's just how it is, in a wonderful, very, very special city.
01:52 Very special. Nothing is perfect nowadays,
01:56 but the majority of the people in the city are for me as close as possible,
02:02 because of the way they deal with life, the way they welcome you, the way they treat you.
02:09 And I don't mean me, I mean all the people I know when they arrive in the city.
02:14 What they tell me describes people in Liverpool.
02:19 And that's wonderful to know, I'm completely at peace.
02:23 It's wonderful to know that I spent a big time of my life here,
02:28 and I said it before, I got the key of the city,
02:32 and I know that's probably rather funny for a lot of people,
02:36 for me it feels like responsibility,
02:41 so I don't think and I don't imagine that the club will need my help in the future,
02:47 but if the city needs me I'm there, that's how it is.
02:50 I want to be helpful in whatever way, and we will see how that looks.
03:10 I'm really sorry, I know life is about pictures and stuff like this.
03:15 It was a staff event, that's why I went there, loved it, did it,
03:20 but then people from our TV channel asked me to do that.
03:24 I would never wear a saco and a shirt and go to Anfield in an empty stadium,
03:30 and just stand there and enjoy an empty stadium.
03:33 I love Anfield to bits, but I love when it's full.
03:37 This was created... I hope that's not a picture of my time at Liverpool,
03:43 being alone in the stadium, that would be somehow dressed up.
03:48 When they asked me to do that, I stood there, and yes, that feels kind of strange,
03:57 and yes, you realise I never did it before, so now I did it once and I will never do it again,
04:01 probably when can you find Anfield completely for yourself and be alone in there?
04:06 But I wasn't alone, a lot of cameras were around, you can see because there were pictures.
04:10 No, Anfield is a super, super special place, because of the people.
04:17 It's a nice stadium, love it, love it, love it, but the people make it exceptional.
