“He made everything that remains happen. I can’t forget the moment I got a call from my agent that Liverpool was interested. And the feeling I had at that moment.
“I said that several times, I was in a completely vacation mood; we were in Portugal, in Lisbon, with the family, and the boys were with us. First and I were sitting in an outdoor cafe.
“I didn’t actually get a lot of phone calls at the time, it was like, ‘Come on, don’t bother me. “But then I saw it and I had a feeling it could be an interesting thing. So I took the phone and it told me, and I got excited inside.
“But because of all the things I said to my family before, I couldn’t say right away,“ Yes! Let’s do it! ‘ I had to ask, “What do you think?” I still remember both boys being like, “Yes!” We looked at Ulla and looked at us all: “Oh, it looks like the vacation is over!”
“It was a really wonderful moment to be together. Nothing was set at that moment, and I didn’t talk to anyone else. We got back home, Mike Gordon called me two days later, after a day, whatever. Then I flew to New York and all those.” The things.
“But this first moment when I realized Liverpool’s interest was really special. From that moment it got better and better.”
