Liverpool fans were great to me, I still live near the city and they always come up and shake my hand.

Liverpool is such a big club, and I was fortunate to be one of a select few to have played for them. It was an amazing time.

I am a big soccer fan, and a very big Liverpool fan.

Liverpool is a fundamental part of my life. They don't remember me that way, but time will change that. I could not have chosen a better place to go when I left Atletico.

I think Liverpool have a long history with many great players. I hope one day to be up there with those great players. I'll try my best to write some history here.

In England, football is a big thing to talk about, but Liverpool, it's a special place. You feel it when you make your first step.

I have played football all my life, and my dad went to see Manchester United in 2005. Since then, I have been a fan.

I realised I'd been spoiled at Liverpool. We were used to winning. In Italy I grew up as a person. I didn't enjoy the football, mind. It was very defensive, but I became a better player because of the work I had to do around the box. Off the pitch, I learned about what to eat and what to drink to be successful, and I learned about life.

I have a fantastic respect for Liverpool the city, club and the fans, from the time I spent there. That respect will always be there.

I've always liked Liverpool. I'd play a lot of video games, and I'd be them, because they played in red, like Independiente, my first club, Arsenal, or Chelsea.
