I want to be a big player one day, and to be that, you have to win titles.

I'm happy, of course, when I can score and help the team.

I never had problems with Klopp.

I'm doing great in England.

Juventus has always tried to win the Champions League.

If teams come to Anfield, I don't think they will be expecting to get an easy game.

My first aim is to stay healthy and help the team.

The Premier League has the power to spend more money on players than the Bundesliga. This is very, very important for players.

I don't think anyone can replace Steven Gerrard, be it Messi or whoever.

Nobody at Liverpool questions the manager. Jurgen Klopp is a top, top manager.

We're not women - we're playing football.

Jurgen Klopp does have a winning mentality; he is hungry for titles.

It is always difficult, if you win against City, everybody expects it to be an easy win, but it will not be easy. It will be very difficult.

It is always better to play and be on the pitch.

I've developed a lot under Jurgen Klopp. I am very grateful to him, and it is a lot of fun to work with him.

Over the long term, it is definitely my ambition to play in the midfield.

Really, the club is like a big family. The locker-room spirit is also similar to what I had experienced at Liverpool, but I really like it here at Juventus, because it's not just a set of champions. The sense of a team, the group, is strongly felt.

It's true, I had a lot of offers from very good teams, but I decided Juventus because I think the project is very big, and they have very big aims, and I want to be a part of the big project here.

Every year in the Premier League, every team is improving. Every team is buying new players.

I always say the Premier League is the best in the world, and I still feel it is an honour to be playing here, but I think English football suits my game. Football is more physical here; the ref is not whistling every foul.

I am happy at Liverpool.

I've had calf problems for many years, and it has been very difficult for me because I've played out of position, which means more sprints. Ten minutes into the game, I've not been able to feel my feet in a few games. I didn't like to go to the media and say, 'I am injured.'

I know, when I am fit and pain-free, I am confident.

Everybody knows that Jurgen Klopp is a great manager and a great guy as well.

Juventus is a huge club. I followed the team since I was young.

Juventus is a team who wins titles, and that's what I want, and that's why we fit very good together.

I left Bayern because I needed the game time.

Without being disrespectful to Leverkusen, playing for Liverpool helps me more because I am playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world, and I have no regrets making this step.

It was an easy decision for me to sign with Liverpool.

When you play constantly for strong sides, then the pressure is always on you.

I enjoy supporting projects involving disadvantaged young people and people with disabilities.

You always have to believe in yourself! I think that is the most important thing.

Of course, sometimes you are tired and everything, but I think the most important thing is the mentality - if you say you are fit and want to go, then you can go every game.

Jurgen Klopp is certainly a great coach. I think he has demonstrated at Dortmund that he can suit any team in the world.

I know Schweinsteiger very well, and I used to play with him. He's a very good guy and a legend.

If you play for Liverpool, for such a big club, it is always the target: it has to be always to win silverware.

You can learn being off the pitch. If you are sitting in the stands, you can see how the whole team plays.

I say always that the Premier League is the best league in the world, and it's an honour to play here.

I think all coaches have their own way of doing things.

When you play football, you have to do a lot of running.

It's difficult to go out when there is a match every third day. There isn't that much time - it's either preparation or recovery - and I would rather spend my time with friends at home.

A piece of my heart will always be with Liverpool.

I came to Leverkusen as a very young player and didn't have many Bundesliga games back then. I wasn't well known.

Liverpool FC is a great club, and the fans are amongst the best in the world.

I want to become a world-class player.

The Premier League is just a really cool league, the most interesting in the world, but you must always respect other big clubs and leagues.

Steven Gerrard doesn't play because his name is Steven Gerrard. He plays because of what he brings in terms of performances. If that wasn't the case, he wouldn't play. He is as good as he was, and I have learned a lot from him.

The position in the middle of the field is the position I'm most comfortable with and where I can improve the most.

I'm trying to get the best out of myself.

You can only advise young players to make the step to Liverpool.
