Georginio Wijnaldum

“Every team learns when they lose a game.”

“The more you are together as a team, the better you become.”

“Of course I want to score.”

“I saw Spurs as being a very good fit for me - but we were unable to agree financial terms with them... With hindsight, though, that was not a disaster.”

“The most important thing is to enjoy football because you don't know how long your career is going to last, but it is difficult when things don't go well.”

“At Newcastle, I was playing in the No 10 position but also in midfield as a left winger.”

“I was only one year at Newcastle, but that time there meant a lot to me. I met some great people who helped me to play good games in the Premier League, and it was because of them I got the move to Liverpool.”

“Every opponent in the Premier League is a warning.”

“If you are busy with a good performance, something you can control, then the chance to win the game is much bigger.”

“Anfield comes alive on big European nights.”

“I like Liverpool. I like the club, and I like the fans. The people appreciate me. That's the most important thing.”

“I don't want to leave Feyenoord before having made an impact at the club.”

“It doesn't matter who you play - you can win against anyone; you can lose against anyone.”

“It makes it easier for you to play more often and it makes it easier for the manager if he has players who can be used in different positions.”

“I want to be remembered as a Liverpool player who was part of something special.”

“At Under-11/12, I was playing as a right-back. The manager then was Cyril Helstone, and he said to me, 'No, you're not a defender. You should be in midfield.' That was the big change in my career because from that moment until I made my debut in the first-team at Feyenoord, that was the position I played.”

“I was always happy to play for the Dutch national team.”

“You're always disappointed when you lose a game.”

“I don't care what other people say about me. I know what I'm capable of.”

“Van Gaal is a teacher, pays attention to everything you do, but Hiddink is more linked to the players. He gives more freedom than Van Gaal, but I worked with both of them pretty well.”
