http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/drilldown/N159858080508-0944.htmGary, many congratulations, how does it feel? Yes it's great, it's a great achievement. We said all along that this is the aim from the moment we came together in pre-season. They showed a great attitude and work rate and it's the result of all the hard work they put in from the start, like adapting to the language and a new culture. It wasn't easy at times and Villa played particularly well at the start of the second half and put us under a lot of pressure. We rode our luck at times and produced some great defending on other occasions and we eventually got back into the game and took the chances that came our way well.
You came up against an experienced Villa side, but nothing fazes your side does it? No, we've got a group of players who aren't fazed, no matter who they come up against. Even in practice games against the first-team - although we don't do particularly well in them and why should we? - but you see that the ability is there and the attitude is there, and if we keep bringing them along and developing them how we have been, we'll have some very good young players.
You scored three terrific goals too... Yes they were. Krisztian's been on fire and took his goal very well with his so-called weaker foot. The second goal involved some great play where we got a nice little passing sequence going and we put Jordy in and he took it very,very well. For the third goal Pacheco came on and spotted a great pass for Lucas who did the rest.
You've had some great times with Liverpool in the past - how highly does this win rank in your achievements with the club? It's up there but the main aim for us is to try and get young players into the first-team. It may be six - 12 months before we see the outcome of the work we have been doing with the players but they will be exciting times for us. The difficult part is doing it again now. Forget what we won in the past, we need to look forward now and start planning for the new season.

Jay, unfortunate that you couldn't play tonight because of injury, but it's still a great achievement to be proud of... Yes definitely. It's obviously disappointing for me personally to miss the final but I'm delighted that the lads went out and won it.
How close were you to playing some part in the match? Well I've just started running again in training and if the game had been two or three days later, I could have been involved. But it wasn't to be.
The team did very well though and scored some great goals didn't they? Yes, we did what we set out to do and we kept a clean sheet against a good side which is a good achievement and scored some some great goals too.
You still managed to take part in the celebrations. What was it like celebrating in front of the Kop? It was just great to be at Anfield. When we found out it was going to be played here we were all made up and we were determined to go out there and we celebrated as a team because that is what has seen us do so well this season.
There's a great team spirit in your squad isn't there? The lads work really hard for each other. as the season's gone on we've become very good friends and good teammates and we are always willing to put in that extra bit of work for each other.
You've won three trophies this season and scored 60 goals - that's some achievement...
If you'd said that we'd achieve all this at the start of the season we'd have happily taken it and we are just delighted with how the season has gone.

Jordy, What was it like to score in front of the Kop? It was the best moment of my life. To score in any game is amazing but to score in front of the Kop is something else.
It was a great performance tonight against an experienced Villa side wasn't it?
Yes, they had four or five first-team players and we only had Lucas, so we really turned it on and to win 3-0 is a great achievement.
It caps a fine season doesn't it? Yes, everyone knows there job and we have proved we are a good side.
You finished the season strong by scoring a lot of goals and it was nice to mark your first taste of Anfield with a goal tonight wasn't it? Yes it very nice. I have been scoring a few recently and it was good to finish with a goal in the last game and such an important one too.
Did you enjoy celebrating with the trophy at the end?
Of course. It's always good to celebrate when you win things and it was good fun.
