I think when you're a very good defensive team - it's very rare a team wins a championship when you're not a very good defensive team.
Liverpool are a very good team everybody knows that and I am proud to be part of Liverpool.
You have to win games by scoring points, of course, so that's important. But when you're having nights against a good defensive team, you have to win in a different manner. You have to win a defensive-type game.
In the Premier League, there is a team above the others. This team is Manchester City. Then there is a very good team, Liverpool.
The difference between a good defensive team and a bad defensive team is as little as three possessions
I want to play for a team that has a strong defensive reputation. One that relies on a system and where assists are valued. And a team that needs what I do - making other guys better, leading a team, being a defensive stopper every night. I want to be a good fit.
I come from a Napoli team who scored 104 goals. Do you think I'm going to be hyper-defensive with Real Madrid? A team that creates chances and is great in possession is not defensive.
We spent last night listening to Liverpool football team on the radio, wanting them to win so badly. Paul supports Liverpool. He was Everton for a while because of his family - but it's all Liverpool now.
Before I came to Barcelona, I only thought about one facet of the game: destroying. My qualities were completely defensive, and I wouldn't take responsibility for organising my team's game, our attacks.
When you're at a big team like Liverpool, you can't expect to start every game.
I don't say we are a defensive team. I say we are a strong team in defensive terms, but at the same time lacking sufficient fluidity in attack because that will take time to come.
For every team in the playoffs, their defensive intensity, their defensive attention to detail just becomes greater.
The Miracle of Istanbul was the most amazing game I'd ever seen - and long before the end I'd decided Liverpool would be my team.
For me, I can't see Liverpool without him because he's just been there since I was a kid. I had him on the back of my shirt. He's always been on the team every time I've watched Liverpool. It's going to be really weird next season, a Steven Gerrard-less Liverpool side.
I don't give a score prediction, but I am a defensive guy, so I'll definitely be looking forward to a defensive game.
The most overrated thing is that you're a good defensive team because of your coaching. No. You're a good defensive team because you care and because it's important to you.
