I sat down with my agent and went through my youth-team video footage. I saw that when I started, I'd get on the ball and within two touches would turn straight away and look to attack my opponent, but when I got into the first team, I would go for the safer option.

Everyone's dream, growing up, is seeing themselves in an away kit somewhere in a sunny country. But, in reality, I'm happy to be playing for Liverpool and trying to win trophies.

Growing up, you watch players like Ronaldinho playing in World Cups, doing the business, and you idolise these people.

I've learned how to deal with pressure more. I'm still trying to achieve more in my game and add more to it. I feel like I'm still learning every day, and I want to keep on improving.

I train like a pro-athlete, not like an actor who's just trying to look pretty.

I took my time with the sport of MMA. I wrestled, won the Olympics. I boxed for years.

I think, in the eyes of a lot of circles, especially within football, I'm the soft guy. But I'm fine with being the soft, healthy guy.

Football is a violent, violent sport, and you have to practice that way in order to get at elite levels on Saturday, in my opinion.
