At Bayern, I was used to coming out of my box to try and clear up dangerous situations. The World Cup was just another platform, so it gave other people the chance to see me who don't watch German football.

In the past, goalies weren't even part of the team. They had their own dressing room. They didn't speak with the other team members. They were lone warriors.

I am a professional player, and I will naturally do everything to be in goal.

Sometimes you can say it is boring being in goal, but what is important is I am in communication with the defence.

English football is different: always on the attack. Although one thing is clear. The best football is the Italian.

I'm on the record as saying Andrew Luck can be the greatest quarterback who ever played the game of football. I've seen him do some unbelievable things that I still can't believe a quarterback was able to do. I have tremendous respect for that guy.

I admire Indian cricket because of the way the sport is run there and how the money they earn is invested back into the game and players.

I wouldn't let my children play football.
