00:00absolutely loved it uh still still i still have a soft spot for the team um i felt the my moment

00:08when i arrived out there uh i kind of slotted in well the problem was they were competing on

00:14on two levels we all know it takes a little bit more time to be able to create a team that can

00:21compete in the league and also in the afc champions league and their main priority was

00:28that year was the the afc champions league because they never reached past the last 16 their main goal

00:34was they really wanted to win it which was a big ask we had an amazing run we got to the final my

00:39experience was was excellent but unfortunately we all know in football that if you can't if you do

00:54when as a liverpool player i played in 2005 everyone goes well it was an amazing year now

00:59that was an amazing year in europe but our form in the premier league was terrible we would beat

01:03juventus we would beat all the big teams um all the way up to the final but then we'd end up be losing
