Leroy Sane

“For me, it is important to get away from football, to calm down, relax, and have fun with family and friends.”

“It is obviously difficult in Manchester living in a hotel.”

“I was young and playing against big players and big clubs. In the beginning, I was thinking they were better than me, and maybe I was a bit scared, also.”

“I'm very excited about going to Wembley for the first time.”

“I want to improve more, and maybe when I am older, I can do more endorsements.”

“I am not someone who watches every game from the Bundesliga, the Spanish League, or even the Premier League. Of course, if there is a good game, like in the Champions League, I will watch it.”

“I like to play wide, but as a youth, I played more in the middle as a 10.”

“Man City is one of the best clubs in the world. I knew that something big was happening here. I wanted to be a part of it.”

“There is definitely a big difference from the Bundesliga to the Premier League: it is completely different, and that is why I think we need a bit of time in the beginning to get used to the league.”

“Criticism is normal in football.”

“I love challenges, especially with Pep Guardiola.”

“The Champions League is a really tough tournament, and every single game is really special and difficult.”

“I had to go step by step to get used to the training and to the system of Pep Guardiola.”

“Kyle Walker thinks he's quicker than me. In games, it's different: you run different distances, players are in different positions, so I don't know. But one day, we will see!”

“The first time I was called up for Germany, it was Mesut who decided to look after me. He told me if I ever had any kind of problem, he would try to help me out, and that is exactly what he did. For sure, he helped me a lot.”

“I always enjoy myself.”

“It's important on the pitch to have fun, to enjoy the game, because it generates a good feeling around the club.”

“Against West Brom, you are up against very tall defenders, who are very strong, and you have to be strong, too, to keep the ball.”

“I needed a little time to settle, to know the Premier League, the people here, how they are, and to know the players. I had to find my confidence.”

“I try all the time to improve in the game, training all the time, and to help my team with assists or goals.”
