'To play for Liverpool is very special. I've been here for five
years and now I will be here for six more and it's very
exciting.
'It's very important that my family love it here as well, as
family life is just as important as my career.
'My wife told me from the beginning she was more than happy
here. My kids enjoy it and they have picked up the scouse accent
already. I am really proud of that.
'In the years ahead they will speak much more scouse too.'
