“I honestly the problem is Probably would say no. I wouldn't go back and try to change it because it wouldn't have a big impact. The situations we had. The big situations I could influence with the things I said, the specific moments which were then decisive you just stand there and watch. Aguero enordin. We had the same problem with United Europe. We have the things that the ball goes in or the ball is over the line for 11 millimeter or not. That has nothing to do with what I say. Would I wish if I could go there and give it a little push? Yes. Would I wish James Madison would block the shot of Vincent Company that he cannot score the goal against Leicester? Yes, but it had nothing to do with what I said. And so Things I said I said in a moment. The right reasons and sometimes the head I wished wanted and sometimes not.”

“In a good place if religion can't do that, then that's not the right religion for me, so it's really about that we have to be tolerant, we have to. It's no problem. It's a wonderful planet. It's a wonderful world we are living in. But it's not for one or two. It's for all of us. And we have to make sure that that works out. And I think the right faith can help you with that. But I don't know what is the right space. I only know what is for me. So yeah, for me, it's the right thing to do. And I never doubted it, to be honest, with all the information you get in life. God is real for me and Jesus, of course. Yeah.”

“And from time that I went to church, I had a short spell where I thought because Sunday morning church was when I played games. I have to go to church. I cannot play football anymore.

And he isn't, I'm pretty sure. So I found my way. For me, it's... To live together, we have to make sure that we don't think the only thing what is interesting is my own well-being.

“I won't even say I'm religious, I believe, but I don't know 100% what religious means to be 100% honest. But this lady, my mom, prayed every night before going to bed. But one thing we prayed, the other thing she said, because she couldn't be hard with me. She just had no weapons. The only thing she could say is, don't forget, if you do that again, I will have to tell the dad at a weekend when he's coming back. So it was like the only threat she had, the only weapon she carried around. And I obviously was smart enough to realize that whatever I did, she never told my dad.”

“Rules pitch, rules dressing room, but then there are so many things left and right of the rules. There's so many things you can do together. There's so much to talk about, so much to know about. And that's what life is. Otherwise, we just live next to each other and we don't benefit from each other. That makes no sense. I don't want to make it bigger than it is, but my general understanding from a football team is to become the best football team you can be. This is as important as tactics, as important as tactics. Kind of the best tactics, the guys don't respect, don't like each other, nobody will see them ever. So, if the worst take this by the law of each other Boy, they still can win. That's possible.

I want to reach it in a different way. I want to introduce them to each other in a specific way on the pitch, by the way. That's where it starts because we have football team. We are not the community and just sit there and drink tea and biscuits. It's a real competitive environment and it's all to get the best out of the boys on the football pitch.”

“So does that help me in life? I'm not sure. It's just how you get raised. So I didn't run back and say, sorry, hello, but next time, believe me, it leaded. So in my life, where everybody, a lot of people recognize me, for me difficult not to say hello to people because of that, but I start obviously getting attention. If I can't get through something, I would say, hello, that doesn't work properly for me anymore, but it's still in me. One thing is the things we read. The other thing is the things we feel. The other thing is how we get treated. We all are the result of a lot of things what happened to us. And as long as we are together, let's make sure that we influence each other as possible as somehow possible. And let's see where it leads us to. That's the idea I have.”

I cannot do it like that, not after the time we had to get. I realized I don't want to be there after all the time we had together. I don't want to be the guy. I don't want to go on tour to USA. Why? Because I loved it all every day. So it's then you realize I need a break, whatever I need to have something else. And you cannot do that in that business. You cannot say, ladies and gentlemen, give me a year. See you later. And it's just not like that. And I really think we did what we had to do to say what we felt and thought in that.”

“Yeah, I think so, I went that year. So we had to change as well. So Lewis D is great, Kodi Kakpo great. What kind of player we don't have? I thought Cody can play a little bit like Bobby, good footballer on side, but feels much better on the wing, all these kind of things. So, yeah, of course, we all signed him together. No problem to admit that it maybe didn't work out as good as could, but... Without Darwin, as so many things wouldn't have happened. The biggest comeback of all times at Newcastle.”

“Exactly like before, we decided it all together involved in that process. And yes, that's how it is nowadays. We would have loved to sign him for lesser money. Of course. But it was in that moment not possible. We need a striker. And we wanted to have an extra option for a striker. We had Bobby always the best False 9 in the world. And now we needed somebody with a bit more speed and stuff like this. The action is more and sadio. I'm not sure even sure if Sadio was still there. Probably not.”

“Who doesn't bring me often enough? It's not my fault. Blah, blah, blah, blah, all these kind of, we are humans. We are all the same. Though it's not that they are special in that moment and some of them think I have to do more, I have to do more for week one, week two, week three, and they think now I did three weeks more. I still not pick. It's not picking me. So it's a bit, you cannot have always harmony and flowers and all these kind of things. That's a competitive environment and you need to perform to get what you think you deserve.”

“My first concern cannot be to please everybody, it's just not possible. It's not possible in that job. You have easy. The first problem starts with 25 players, 11 starting positions. So more players are not happy than you make happy. That's already the way it starts, the problem. So you have to get through this. And I'm pretty sure he had super moments at Liverpool. We had super moments together. And in my last day, if I would have been him, I would have thought as well, okay, come on. The next one is a new chance for me. Because players do that. If it goes really well for them, it's not that they think thanks to the coach. If it's not going well, they think...”

“Darwin. We had an absolutely good relationship, as good as can be with a strike or it's not scoring as often as he wants, as the people want and as I think he could have. And with a striker who didn't play as often as definitely he wants. So how can you have a fantastic relationship? Would it be if I didn't see that picture? I heard about it. If he would have stand there and be the number one and jumping after me, crying his eyes out and hugging me for 10 minutes I was okay. What's going on here is completely a normal situation. I cannot”

“But that's the outside world. Come on, I'm not an idiot. I don't sit there and I always said I need other people to understand things. It's like my own opinion I know already. Well, the morning I get up, I know my opinion. So come on. How can you get a better view on it, on things? That's how it is. It's just by discussing with people. Yes, the final decision I have to make and I have no problem with that. But for that I need all people being really involved. And if you want to have an argument, have an argument. In the end, I will make the decision. Absolute problem. Did we have argument? Maybe yes. I don't remember them, but it's not important because it's just in the end, it's about the outcome. It's about what is best for the club. And I never had a problem with that. I never thought they all have to please me. So I realized.”
