I really got a taste for winning titles at Lille.

I have always followed Arsenal in the Premier League. At some points they were really good, but also had some difficulties like a lot of big clubs do.

Salah is a tough guy. Always calm and strong, with the mentality of a hard worker. I'll never forget his training sessions: very high rhythm, pushed like a madman, you watched him in amazement.

I do not know what the future holds for me.

During the holidays, professional players would come and say hello to us in the academy and that really made you want to be a professional. When you saw what great conditions they lived in, it gave you even more desire.

In China you have to be in peak form because you need to do well. You earn a lot - I had a huge salary - but then you have to prove you are worth it. Every match is a challenge and I played next to or faced some truly great players.

It's always a special game when you play against your previous club.

I was only one year at Newcastle, but that time there meant a lot to me. I met some great people who helped me to play good games in the Premier League, and it was because of them I got the move to Liverpool.

If you don't win games, it's difficult to enjoy and see the fun in football.

If you want to compete for the Premier League title, you need to win ugly sometimes.

Some games don't go the way you want them to go, but you still have to find a way to win.

What I loved the most about the Champions League was the games at home.

Anfield comes alive on big European nights.

I only worked with Rafa Benitez for a short time, but he's a great manager, and he showed it from the first moment he came. He worked with the players and made us a better team. He's a good person, always trying to help players out.

From the moment I first spoke with him, I knew that I wanted to join Liverpool. I fell for Klopp - hook, line, and sinker.

I saw Spurs as being a very good fit for me - but we were unable to agree financial terms with them... With hindsight, though, that was not a disaster.

Pochettino is a terrific manager if you look at the way his teams play.

Everything is possible in football.

You have better players and teams in England, and for myself, it is better to play in a better league against better players.

I want to play in a stronger league than the Eredivisie.

At a club like Liverpool, you have to win everything possible, and you have to play for both - the Premier League and the Champions League.

I like Liverpool. I like the club, and I like the fans. The people appreciate me. That's the most important thing.

I'm quite a shy person, but I know I'm a good football player. That's just the way I am. That's the way I grew up. My grandmother brought me up, and she is the same way. She's understated, but she knows what she's worth.

As a football player, you must have a big ego to respect yourself. So if you are a good player, you must say that you are good. You need to have the confidence.
