00:00I absolutely loved it
00:01I still have a soft spot for the team
00:06I felt like my moment when I arrived out there
00:10I kind of slotted in well
00:12The problem was
00:14they were competing on two levels
00:15We all know it takes a little bit more time
00:18to be able to create a team
00:21that can compete in the league
00:22and also in the AFC Champions League
00:25and their main priority
00:27that year was
00:29the AFC Champions League
00:31because they never reached past the last 16
00:33their main goal was they really wanted to
00:35win it which was a big ask
00:37we had an amazing run, we got to the final
00:39my experience was excellent
00:41but unfortunately we all know
00:43in football that if you
00:45do not have time
00:47to be able to
00:49build a squad
00:51that can compete at both levels
00:53you're going to suffer when as a Liverpool player
00:55I played in 2005
00:57everyone goes it was an amazing year
00:58that was an amazing year in Europe but our form
01:01in the Premier League was terrible
01:02we would beat Juventus, we would beat all the big teams
01:05all the way up to the final
01:08but then we would end up
01:09losing in the Premier League
01:11and that's a sign of
01:13a team that's not prioritising
01:15but you're just trying
01:17to back it up and I think that's what happened
01:19at Marinos, we put so much in
01:21to the AFC Champions League
01:23that unfortunately
01:25only in moments
01:27we suffered in the league
01:28I still sit here today
01:30and I'm just
01:32baffled
01:32you know that's one thing
01:34I still get baffled by it
01:36because it's heart-wrenching
01:37because you put so much into it
01:39and you work so hard for it
01:40and out of the blue
01:41it just came
01:42no one understood it
01:43I'm not sure what it did
01:45it's not like
01:46I still do think that it's
01:47just a matter of
01:48I still do think that it's
01:49much more
01:50but it's like
01:51you know that
01:51I'm not sure how to pass it
01:52but it's a good way
