It was an intense time. We had to win football games, but all the rest was on my plate as well. I need a break and you
00:00:07
cannot do that in that business. You cannot say, "Give me a year. See you later." So, it begs the question, do you
00:00:12
think you could ever go back and manage Liverpool again? It's possible. So, what would it take?
00:00:24
You changed a club. You changed the city. And you arrived at a time when clubs were in a period of dysfunction to
00:00:29
bring that club back to its glory. And you do that over and over and over again. How to win in a very decisive
00:00:36
moment. You have to be the best team. And to be the best team, everybody has to buy into that team and walk through
00:00:42
fire together. How do I get people to walk through fire? I better go back to the start.
00:00:47
Growing up, my mom was very caring. She loved people. And my dad had expectations. The problem was I was
00:00:53
absolutely useless in most of the things. Even with football, my teammates were better than me. And I thought I
00:00:59
only can get on that level from the first until the last minute. I was a warrior on the pitch. But it made me the
00:01:05
guy I am today. And so my team plays a little bit more like a heavy metal band because you have 90 minutes and there's
00:01:11
no guarantee to get anything. But the only chance to get something is to give you all. So you want to have the maximum
00:01:18
success. Don't waste time with holding back. I want to know why Manchester United
00:01:22
didn't. No, they tried. But but there are some reasons in that conversation which I
00:01:27
didn't like. Arie slot coming in after you and didn't change much. That's super smart. Not changing much
00:01:32
and all of a sudden you win the league by some distance. But this year Liverpool have spent what
00:01:37
450 odd million. You never had a transfer window like that. Nobody ever told me that it's possible
00:01:42
that we can spend that. You seem to always be successful. How does someone succeed you?
00:01:47
You want to be able to become the best team in England? You need to
