When you look at our programme for the next few weeks, you do not fancy a trip to the Oktoberfest.

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

I have a feeling we are going to be world champions, I can't really explain why. Brazil are probably the best team in the world in terms of individual players. But the team with the most gifted players do not always win.

It's part of my game to occasionally send a message, one that may be unpopular to the outside world, but can be important for the team.

I'm not the type who spends his free time in training camp playing with his Playstation or playing cards on trips. The other players thought it was odd: There he is, reading again.

I want to successfully make the transition from a life in professional sports to another life, without running into major upheavals.

If we perform as a unit and if every single player gives it his very best, everything can happen.
