I would love to win the Champions League once again. Winning big trophies like the Champions League or the World Cup is usually making people think, 'The players are not hungry any more.' Still, that's not what I feel. ”

I love this game. I love to find solutions, ideas. I always saw the potential of this league. Now that I'm here, I want to help. ”

I love to have the ball. That's why I play soccer, and we have a great coach who has this kind of view, he sees everything, and I just want to help as much as I can, on the pitch and off the pitch. ”

I love standing on the pitch too much to focus on anything else - if I want to be a coach or something. ”

I was looking forward my whole career to once playing somewhere else to get the experience, and if I thought about moving to England, I always had Manchester United in my head. ”

I think I have a lot of experience, especially of the big matches, and that is an advantage always. ”

There is fireworks before the game; there is the national anthem before the game, so that is a huge difference to how it is in Germany: like, after the warmup, you touch the ball 20 minutes later. So that is a little bit different. The league, for example, the MLS is quite a young league, actually, but it is developing. ”

The Argentinians provoke and are always whingeing to the referee to try and change his opinion. It starts before the match. You see their body language, how they gesticulate, how they try to influence the referee. That is not part of the game. That is a lack of respect. It's their mentality and character, and we'll have to adjust. ”

One player's influence in football is not as big as in other sports: it's 11 players vs. 11 players. ”

My dream was always to play soccer. ”
