There was an interesting interview with him on LFCTVgo (free fortnight 
) he was talking about the ManU home game last season.
He knew he had never scored against them, and that he missed the game which was at the time the only points we’d dropped in the season. So he decided to do more press in the week leading up to the game. To talk about it to put MORE pressure on himself.
That’s the elite sports mentality that the likes of us just can’t relate to.
He talked a bit about that mentality post match yesterday - it could have seemed arrogant but he was just saying the truth from his POV. When asked if he felt nerves for that final penalty given it was his second.
He looked incredulous. “I’ve taken a penalty in a Champions League final, and there are no fans today’.
He’s absolutely amazing
Also, I hadn’t really appreciated that until he signed for us he’d only ever stayed for one season or so at all of his previous clubs.
He is hitting his peak, just turned 28, so if we can get the next 2-3 seasons from him he could go down as our greatest ever player.
