Dejan Lovren

The biggest problem is my back. ”

This is Liverpool, we will always come back when it's tough. ”

I made the wrong decision many times. Sometimes I can accept it, sometimes not because football is like that. But in the end it depends on yourself and whether you are ready to move on or not. ”

I remember my dad took my ice skates. One day I asked my mum: ‘Where are my ice skates?' because I loved to skate in the winter. And she said through tears: ‘Dad is selling them now… we don't have money for this week.' ”

My mum was working in Walmart for €350 per month, about £280. My father was working as a house painter. We had a difficult situation with money." ”

If my little girl wants a toy or something, sometimes I say, ‘I don't have the money'. It's quite difficult to understand why I'm saying that, but she needs to understand that nothing comes easy." ”

Without being arrogant, I think I have proved I am one of the best defenders in the world. ”

Maybe if I had signed for Chelsea I'd just have been sitting on the bench and what is the point in that? ”

I enjoy playing against big, top strikers. ”

I feel relief after the transfer window is closed. I got tired of reading and listening every day about me leaving or staying at Liverpool. Everyone wrote 'Dejan is here, Dejan is there,' and they knew nothing! ”
