00:00His comments are out of order and that's why we decided not to take him.
00:04He's not with us tonight, that's obvious and clear for everyone now and that's the reason
00:11it's not so difficult.
00:12We found his comments and we, I mean the people who decided this, his comments are out of
00:17order and that's why we decided not to take him and before that he didn't play because
00:23I made that decision and that's the right every manager has.
00:28I think and always felt that we had a relation, maybe and there's still a relation by the
00:33way because factually I'm the manager and he's the player but maybe emotionally something
00:38broke for him when I stopped playing him but you should ask him when that moment exactly
00:44was but I have felt till Saturday evening maybe nothing that came close to that there was
00:55no relation.
00:56Yes, it's always tough and difficult if you don't play a player.
01:00Players are never happy if you make those decisions but he conducted himself really well towards
01:04me, towards my staff, towards his teammates.
01:09So his comments after the game against Leeds were opposite to what I've experienced with
01:19him before that moment.
01:22I think it was two games ago when he was on the bench and I brought him in against Sunderland.
01:29But I think the first thing is what is important now that I give the full attention to the players
01:33who are here, making sure that they are prepared in the best possible way, making sure they fight
01:39for Liverpool again, for the team and then after the game there's maybe time to look to the
01:47future and the future that means brighten.
