00:00 The earth is now really grey, that was not the case when I arrived here,

00:03 I'm not sure that's because of the age or because of Liverpool.

00:06 I did the job I loved for the clubs I love.

00:49 I feel really blessed to have obviously three fantastic clubs,

01:04 which gave me the opportunity to do the job.

01:07 So that's what's going through my mind,

01:09 when you come in somewhere you never know how it will go.

01:12 And I was really lucky with all the things that happened.

01:15 [MUSIC]

01:21 I don't have to say one word about Bobby Firmino and how important he was for us,

01:26 so I don't waste time with that.

01:27 He was in so many games the difference maker, without scoring maybe,

01:35 but with scoring as well in other games.

01:38 So I would feel really embarrassed if I have to mention now,

01:41 the qualities of Bobby Firmino.

01:53 I play with these numbers, I'm not sure I will ever coach again.

01:56 Absolutely exceptional player, all time great, shadow of a doubt.

02:00 I was blessed to have a few good ones to be honest,

02:04 but I'm saying he's right up there and the numbers are super special.

02:08 [MUSIC]

02:18 He helped me, his teams helped me to be a better manager.

02:24 He put me another level to think about it,

02:29 to prove myself what I have to do to be a better manager,

02:37 to with our teams to try to beat them.

02:40 And that is the reason why I am still in this business.

02:44 It's not so important what people think when you come in,

02:47 it's much more important what people think when you leave.
