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

I train for one-and-a-half hours every day in order to keep my energy level high.

We can only win by giving everything and being ready to defeat the adversary with fiery aggression.

I had to delegate authority to the people on my staff. That means you shave away the hierarchy.

I always stressed that I didn't have coaching experience, but that I did have a deadline: June 9.

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.
