Yeah, I would be the same as them as well.
Like if they haven't done it for Liverpool, it's like, how long has it been?
Since 1980s or something like that?
They haven't lifted a trophy.
So for them to lift it now...
in the stage as well after Man City's been dominating for like the last four years pretty much.
It's a great result for them really.
Do you think they'll give up the Champions League for it though?
Yeah, I'd have to give it to Mourinho.
Obviously, my time at Chelsea wasn't just cut and dry and very simple, so there was a lot of ups and downs, but not at one point did I ever feel like I wasn't part of the team or that I was just never going to get a chance to play again.
So the way he coached and his tactical side of things, I really enjoyed.
Did he ever have a pop at you?
No, it was normally behind closed doors.
But as a player, you should be able to deal with things like that.
Like he's just as passionate about winning and losing as say a player would if
A player's not happy with us on the pitch, Alex will tell you, you'll shout at them, you'll scream at them.
That's just his route of letting it out.
And I just feel like, to a point, it could be like reverse psychology.
He's digging him out, hopefully, and hoping that he sees that and says, all right, I'm going to show you what I'm really made of.
So it's down to the player now, really, for me.
