“I know the meaning of the word, I know I'm not a real number nine but also I don't see me as a real number nine.”

“Everyone knows you can not only have positive moments, there are some negative.”

“It's true to say that fixed positions don't exist any more in attacking areas.”

“Many goalkeepers are now preparing for penalties and the shooters. At the same time, the opponents try to influence and unsettle the shooter.”

“Scoring goals is the best moment for a football player.”

“I want to play for the biggest clubs in the world.”

“The Premier League is much tougher than the Bundesliga.”

“Animals mean a lot to me and with animals also comes nature and the climate and so, for me, they are very important.”

“When I came to the professional game and Leverkusen asked me what number I wanted to have, I asked them which numbers were free. When they said 29, I said I'd take it because of my brother.”

“I just keep on going and working, trying to help my team in every training session and game. That's the most important.”

“Bayern Munich is a great club, but I can't say I only want to stay in Germany. Some people want to spend their whole lives here. I'm not that guy.”

“I am lucky I played a few big games at Chelsea.”

“Small things can turn everything around.”

“Leverkusen are a great club, I feel good. I have always said that.”

“I like to do things not everybody else will do.”

“It is always good when being compared to players that have played well in the past. It definitely feels good when the fans compare you to such a player.”

“Scoring in the big games is of course very special.”

“I always give my best also in Premier League games, sometimes I have more luck.”

“I always hear people say that they don't know my position and, to be honest, I don't know exactly, either. It's somewhere between the No 10 and the No 9. I don't like to stay the whole game in one position and play from there. I like to float around a little bit.”
