Transcript

00:00 I'm a Liverpool supporter and I love that.

00:03 Everything, everything impacted me, it was fantastic.

00:12 I said the boys showed class,

00:14 but it's difficult to deal with these kind of things.

00:18 I could not use the exit of the AXA training ground,

00:21 I cannot go out there, I would still stand there and sign autographs.

00:25 People show me so much love, it's fine,

00:28 I cannot come to my house and stuff like this, it's all nice,

00:31 but it's really difficult to take.

00:37 It's so positive and I wish it would be for somebody else

00:40 and I would be his best friend.

00:42 So that would be great.

00:43 My best friend gets all this attention, but I get all the attention,

00:46 that's really tricky to take, to be honest.

00:48 I just try to get through this, and there will be a moment

00:51 when nobody asks me anymore, nobody looks at me anymore,

00:54 and I go down for a few hours or days, I don't know,

00:57 we will see that, but for the moment I have to function,

01:00 I have to keep going and do that, but it was today wonderful.

01:05 An absolutely incredible and wonderful time.

01:09 I love it, my family was on the pitch, which was nice, really nice.

01:14 Now we will have a party, then we will come back next week for another event.

01:20 And I will come back occasionally, just as a supporter now.

01:25 I don't know exactly why nobody believes that I will probably not be a manager again,

01:30 but I understand because obviously it seems to be a drug.

01:35 But it looks like, because everybody comes back

01:38 and everyone works until they are 70-something.

01:42 I always had the idea I would not do that, that long.

01:44 Other people are smarter, other people can do it in a different way,

01:48 I have to be all in, I have to be the spark, I have to be the energiser,

01:52 I have to be all these kinds of things, and I am empty.

01:56 So, that's it.

01:57 I have to start with the rest now, and then we will see.

02:01 But it's not that I feel now already, maybe the next opportunity.

02:04 You only have to look outside, which clubs are available and stuff like this,

02:09 so there will be opportunities, but I don't sit here and think,

02:13 "Maybe in India's time I'll take that."

02:15 In this moment...

02:17 - See you later. - Thank you.

02:19 Thank you very much.
