“As a kid, I didn’t have to become an astronaut or anything, because it was always soccer, soccer, soccer with me.

You can’t blame a kid for dreaming, if he does actually kick on then this interview could become very interesting in the years to come.
This interview does go to show just how massive Liverpool is – kids in leagues across the world are sat there dreaming of joining Jürgen’s mighty Reds.
