flag high in the game of football...
...wining the award, puts him in same rank
with fellow Brazilians, such as Kaka, Thiago Silva, and Neymar...He said after
winning the award:
“It means a lot. I'm very happy to know that this past year I
have been recognised by many people. It was an important year for me and I'm
very happy to win this award,”
“It was a good year. As a team, we played very
well and we managed to get to two finals,” he added.
“Unfortunately, we did not win the
finals win, we lost. That was a very difficult time for us to deal with the
defeat [to Sevilla] but this certainly made the group stronger.
“We started the season very well,
at a high level. We all played very well, so, of course, 2016 was a good year.
In the end I got injured, I missed a few games at the end of the year, but it
was a positive year.”
On Jürgen Klopp’s influence on the
Reds’ style of play He said:
“The coach demands a lot from the group. We work hard as a group
and of course Liverpool has great players,” he continued.
“Everyone has been playing well
this season and has done what the coach has asked for. And in relation to that,
the coach lets us do what we want on the field.
“Of course, everyone has their
responsibility, when they do not have the ball, they should mark, be in their
position, defend. But he lets us do what we want. No one feels pressure
determine who will make decisions and who will defend. Everyone works together,
as a group.”
