“I’m very happy that aligns with my own view, because I’m a positive person and focus on the positive things, but the most important thing is that the team is successful and that we are successful as a whole.
I want to contribute to that, preferably with goals, with assists. If I’m in a difficult phase, then I try to help the team through hard work and the most important thing is that we are successful as a team. It’s
not always about me, it’s about Borussia Dortmund as a club and that’s what I wanted to express in that moment.”
“How do I take my body to the next level, how do I train, what’s good for me? What I’ve improved on a lot in the last four years is my hard work, training time, dedication and recovery. That has certainly
taken me to another level physically. The doubters weren’t quiet before the season either. Not many thought I’d be able to compete internationally in terms of physical fitness and I think I’m now at almost
50 games with the national team in April. I don’t know if many would have expected that and we’re just keep marching on.”
“At the end of the day, it’s just about me being on the pitch to help the team. Everything around it is a show, it’s made for the spectator. What we’re doing now is made for the spectator, it’s not for me as an
athlete so that I can play better. I think you have to make a distinction in football, there’s the sport, but the sport itself is simply not enough for many spectators because the entertainment around it is very
interesting: The expert opinions, the interviews, the headlines, everything. That goes with the territory, but it’s not something that influences my performance.”
