00:00I'm a Liverpool supporter and I love that.
00:15Everything, everything impacted me, it was fantastic.
00:19I said the boys showed class,
00:22but it's difficult to deal with these kind of things.
00:26I could not use the exit of the AXA training ground,
00:29I could not go out there, I would still stand there and sign autographs.
00:33People show me so much love, it's fine,
00:35I cannot come to my house and stuff like this, it's all nice,
00:38but it's really difficult to take.
00:45It's so positive and I wish it would be for somebody else
00:47and I would be his best friend.
00:49So that would be great, my best friend gets all this attention,
00:52but I get all the attention, that's really tricky to take, to be honest.
00:55I just try to get through this and there will be a moment
00:58when nobody asks me anymore, nobody looks at me anymore,
01:00and I just go down for a few hours or days, I don't know, we will see that.
01:05But for the moment I have to function, I have to keep going and do that.
01:10But it was today wonderful, an absolutely incredible and wonderful time.
01:16I love it, my family was on the pitch, which was nice, really nice.
01:23Now we will have a party, then we will come back next week for another event.
01:28And I will come back occasionally, just like I said, as a supporter now.
01:32I don't know exactly why nobody believes that I probably will not be a manager again,
01:38but I understand, because obviously it seems to be a drug.
01:41But it looks like, because everybody comes back and works until they are 70-something,
01:47I always had the idea I will not do that for that long.
01:51Other people are smarter, other people can do it in a different way,
01:55but I have to be all in, I have to be the spark, I have to be the energiser,
01:59I have to be all these kinds of things, and I am empty.
02:03So, that's it.
02:05I have to start with the rest now, and then we will see.
02:08But it's not that I feel now already, and maybe the next opportunity...
02:12You only have to look outside, which clubs are obviously available and stuff like this,
02:17so there will be opportunities, but I don't sit here and think,
02:21maybe in a year's time I will take that.
02:23In this moment, see you later.
02:26Thank you very much.
