When I moved to Germany, I was focused only on my development as a player for Leverkusen. When I joined Spurs, I was focused on the rivalry between Spurs and Arsenal, but I have to admit that I made some observations watching the games between United and Liverpool.
You see the tension, the build-up to the game, the newspapers running different stories about the players, you hear about the history of the fixture and you think to yourself:
Okay, that is a serious game.
Then, you think about that for a couple of minutes and just go back to yourself, because you’re thinking about your own club and your own situation.
