So it's just what the players want to do.
And then if you have the right system, it's just the commitment from them.
Obviously, I have Liverpool connections, that is very clear, but at the same time, we are involved in the city, we have a lot of friends in the city, Evertonians, Liverpoolians, so we don't have any problem with the fans, with the people there.
Obviously, we are closer to Liverpool, that is fine, but I am a professional, so in the future, you never know.
In fact,
Imagine that I want to stay in England.
I want to stay close to my family.
I cannot get a job.
Then you have a job there close to you.
And I will say something that I don't want to regret too much about that.
I made a mistake when I say it's a small club.
What I wanted to say was a small team.
Because in this game, I remember that they had one chance and nearly they won and they were too deep.
And then people say, oh, Rafa said that.
And the Liverpool fans, they were happy and the Australians, they were upset.
But I didn't want to say that was a small club.
I wanted to say that was a small team.
Then you can understand that I can see a lot of fans.
And when I walk in the streets, sometimes some of the Torians, they come and they say, OK, what you did for the city, you know that we have the charity and all these things.
So I have very good connection with the city, not just with the Liverpool fans.
