81 Quotes by Jerome Boateng

When you get a little bit older, you're always trying to do something different from your siblings.

I'm very happy at Bayern.

In Germany, young players are given more time, more patience. In England, they prefer to buy already-high-level players rather than spending some time building up a really talented young guy.

Bayern is the biggest team in Germany, one of the biggest teams in Europe. Every year, world class players come along, so it's one of the strongest teams in the world.

I have to open the game from my position. It's really important to play with the ball.

I know my own mistakes; I know when I have to do better.

I play where the coach puts me and try to help the team.

I try every day to become a better player - passing more to open the game - I try everything because you can always be better.

Keeping up your concentration is one of the hardest tasks when you're a centre-back because a team like Bayern tend to dominate and can give you sense of false security.
