Goalkeeper is a very influential position, and that is becoming recognised now. If you think about it, any error that we make can be fatal for the team. It can lead to a goal and cause a defeat.
The secret of the wise man is to learn from the errors of others.
I am really happy with the increased recognition that goalkeepers are getting now. I'm glad to be a leading part of that.
I make a dribble or a simple pass, knowing that if I lose the ball near the area, the opponent can score. I am aware of what I do on the pitch, but I always do it to help the team. That's why, occasionally ,I also boot the ball into the stands.
If not the biggest, the Premier League is one of the biggest leagues in the world. It's very competitive, and I find that exciting. I like challenges. I came here because it will be a great challenge for me at a very high level of football and be among these great players in a great team like Liverpool.
I don't think about numbers. I think more about what I can give back to the club for the faith they have invested in me.
I've always worked really hard, and I'll continue working the same way, whatever the size of the transfer fee.
If I hadn't had the guarantee of playing, I would have asked to leave Roma.
If you look at my professional history as a goalkeeper, I'm not somebody who makes many.
I wait for options, hoping that a space for a pass will appear at the last moment.
I am more mature today, so I deal better with the mistakes than the many times when I locked myself away and wanted to be alone.
It gives me a lot of confidence to play with my feet, and I have to be focused for 90 minutes.
I actually spoke to all the national team players who play in the Premier League, asking about what the league is like and the style of play. It's one thing watching it on the TV, but being involved in it every day is another thing.
I like to show my ability on the field. I'm not one to show off with words. I'm really looking forward to the chance. I'm a calm goalkeeper, and above all, I've got a real desire to win. When I get on the pitch, I give everything for the team, everything for the shirt.
In Rome, I was already trying to help in shaping the game, but the style was a little bit different to what we do at Liverpool.
There is a lot going on with negotiations in the football business, and I appreciate some people think that it's a crazy, absurd amount of money.
We have to learn from our mistakes. But it's part of my game; I won't be arrogant of saying that I will keep doing this. We have to learn from our mistakes.
Yes, I'm working on playing with my feet, so I take risks.
The difference in the Premier League is that it's very competitive physically, so I'll try to improve in that aspect as well and adapt as soon as possible to the style of play.
When I went up from the youth team to the first team at Internacional, it was a risk - they were almost betting on me making it.
