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

I would never have thought I was capable of sitting on the bench as the number two man. And it showed me that you can really achieve everything in life, even the unthinkable, as long as you're willing to work on yourself a little bit.

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.

We are Bayern Munich and English teams always have trouble as soon as they leave the island.

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.

After a decade in a club it's quite normal and necessary that you seek and take a new challenge.

It took me a long time to realize that football isn't martyrdom, but a game that's enjoyable, and one in which getting better at it is supposed to be fun. Perhaps it would have been better if I had understood this as a young man.
