He told Voetbal International: “I had to fight with tears (in my last game), because I myself did not expect that everything would be like this.

"I still have a lot of emotions, because I realise that I have already played the last match for Liverpool. Many fans ask me why I couldn't just go and agree to the contract that was offered. But, of course, this is not the only point.

"Things happen behind the scenes that I can't control, because I'm a player. I will explain this after the Euros, because now only the national team matters. I want to say that the staff at the training centre, club staff and teammates wanted me to stay. I told them more. After that, they fully understood my decision. This is important for me."
