In theory, it could happen.”

“The locker room isn't missed in that context, yet sharing a meal with the team enjoying conversation, I appreciate that. Success was frequent thus frequently positive atmosphere at the club. Remaining with me is Van Dijk's laughter in my ear to illustrate.”

Praise for His Successor

Emotional Tribute for the Late Forward

“Can you substitute somebody like Diogo? This isn't just regarding his on-field talent, it's his character. I can’t imagine the team environment without him in it. Putting it into words is tough about it. A devastating blow for his teammates as well. Nobody at Liverpool will ever use it for poor performances yet it's the reality. Entering the changing area where he was omnipresent. Handling this on a personal level is not easy. Unbearable.”
