Emre Can

It's difficult to go out when there is a match every third day. There isn't that much time - it's either preparation or recovery - and I would rather spend my time with friends at home. ”

Football is like that - sometimes you have good times, sometimes you have bad times. ”

As a kid, my parents told me I always seemed to play football with older people. As a boy, I always trained in the age group above, and even kicking about on the street, I'd play with the bigger ones. ”

I left Bayern because I needed the game time. ”

I have to work hard. I have to get fitness back. If I get game time - which is always different to training - I have to work hard on my game and get confidence again. ”

I've developed a lot under Jurgen Klopp. I am very grateful to him, and it is a lot of fun to work with him. ”

I always make sure I work hard every day and give everything in the game, in training, and off the pitch, too. ”

I've had calf problems for many years, and it has been very difficult for me because I've played out of position, which means more sprints. Ten minutes into the game, I've not been able to feel my feet in a few games. I didn't like to go to the media and say, 'I am injured.' ”
