I am firmly convinced that you shouldn't necessarily emphasize hedonism, especially at the beginning of a career, but should instead focus entirely on performance.

A Germany team should not be afraid going into a tournament. History shows that we can raise the level of our game when it matters.

Of course, success is a relative term. It can be something completely different from winning the German championship eight times or making millions.

I was so obsessed with football that you could say I was taking the goal home with me at night. And then one day the system fell apart.

I think Neuer changed the game of goalkeeping in the World Cup.

I've never really seen myself in the role of the victim.

Complaining and arguing will not help. We are fully concentrating on the game against the Czechs.
