You talk about results being more important than performances but, ideally, you want to put the two together.

We are constantly told to enjoy Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo before they retire but what about Arjen Robben?

I always thought just because I love football, it doesn't necessarily mean I'm desperate to manage.

Anger and bad experiences used to fuel my performances, but it was horribly draining.

Rafa Benitez - man with huge experience who knew how the club operated - could not get the results Real wanted and couldn't walk away from the fights that erupted in the dressing room and the boardroom.

Many in top positions around Europe have devoted their lives to coaching.

Xabi embraced life in Liverpool.

For the life of me, I'll never understand why the teams that have the best defences get criticised. Shouldn't clean sheets be a badge of honour for defenders and goalkeepers?

For a 20-year-old kid to be taking on Liverpool Football Club over a contract. To the pit of my stomach that just winds me up, it angers me.

We take the plaudits when things are going well so you have to take the criticism when it's not going well.

If you want trophies, they don't get given to you, you have to earn them, you have to play well in big games.

If I'm reading a book by a footballer I don't want to read about games, how he scored or played well. People want to read what you thought, not what happened.
