🗣️ “I faced the same situation when I was at Liverpool, back in 2013, when I announced that I wanted to leave for Arsenal. The captain, Gerrard, came to me. Arsenal was in the Champions League, and Liverpool wasn't, and I wanted to leave because I wanted to play in that competition. Gerrard convinced me to stay, telling me, 'You can’t go to Arsenal this year; if you have a great season, and we're going to have one, with the manager, the club, and everyone helping you, you’ll be able to go to Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, or wherever you want. The choice will be yours, but for this year, stay here. He convinced me. I publicly apologised at the time because my earlier comments hadn't been good; I committed myself fully to Liverpool, and within two or three games, the fans loved me. It turned out to be my best season at the club.”   submitted by   /u/Dawladjr [link]   [comments]
