Andre Schurrle

“We need to show we could be in a fight, a battle, and win it. If that means we have to be willing to do something that takes a yellow card, then we have to be ready to do that for each other and I'm happy to do that.”

“I am hungry, I want to achieve something with Chelsea.”

“That is the only way to survive in the Premier League. Every game is a battle, whether you're playing the top team or the one at the bottom of the table.”

“Sometimes I forget, then suddenly I find myself thinking, 'God - I won the World Cup, didn't I?'”

“I feel it's my duty to get to the young players, tell them what's out there.”

“Mourinho has a great personality and is just a cool guy.”

“I'm the guy who tries with my qualities to help on the field.”

“It was an away game, I think in Poland. I ate some chicken and had really bad salmonella.”

“I played there a couple of times in Leverkusen, playing as the striker was nothing new for me I knew what to do - it was fully okay.”

“Every time scoring against a former club is special because you know everyone around the place.”

“I want to win titles with Chelsea.”

“I think I'm quite a clever player and that I realise there are times when I can be offensive but others when I must be more compact and work for the team, because that is what matters.”

“For a striker to come in and score his first goal is always important.”

“You just have to be clear in your head and take the chances when they come.”

“I am Andre Schurrle and I don't compare myself to others.”

“With a line of six in the defence and then three in front of that, it's not always easy to find the spaces to score the goals.”

“The move to Chelsea has made me better and stronger.”

“In the end, not only the team, but the players themselves benefit from having to prove their worth time and time again, too.”

“It's a big jealousy thing in Germany that you have from fans - not the hardcore fans, because they always stand behind their team.”

“Wolfsburg might be a smaller club when you look at reputations and I thought about it long and hard. I could have stayed at Chelsea. Mourinho told me that I would get my chance. You have to make a decision, though, and in the end I only wanted to play football again.”
