00:00It's about like a very classy gesture for you to thank Klopp when you got on the microphone.

00:05Not a lot of managers would have done that, I don't think. Why would you feel the need to do that?

00:09Because of what he did when I arrived here, before I even arrived here.

00:12I think that is something not one manager ever did before, so that is what definitely helped me.

00:20But apart from that, he helped me even more by the team he left behind and the culture he left behind in that team.

00:26The quality the players have was obvious for everyone, but the culture of hard work,

00:31the culture of not only from the players but also from the staff members have been incredible

00:37and that is one of the reasons why we could achieve what we've achieved this season.

00:41For obvious reasons, I think it was a nice moment to thank him as well.

00:45To replace Jürgen is a big job and I think the manager did it in his own way, together with the staff.

00:50He definitely deserved a lot of credit for that.

00:52I don't think anyone obviously that's been said by so many from the outside world would have thought

00:58that we're going to be Premier League champions, but that's football as well.

01:00We have to perform as players and that's what we try to do, try to be consistent,

01:04try to win games, find ways to win games and that's what you have done.
