The player can only compete with the best internationally when they've committed themselves to this goal. They have to be properly supported until that point.

I think when there's enough will and aggression, there's no shortage of talent either.

The young generation has a different curiosity that is more visual.

Lionel Messi is very much the team player, while Cristiano is very ego-driven.

We Germans are so good at penalties because we have had to rebuild our country twice.

If the national coach lets decisions be made from outside, he's lost the team.

We coaches have to learn how to deal with that: How do I get to each one best - with a talk, with video analysis? And what sort of tone? We need our own coaches for that. The sports psychologist coaches me too.
