Many associate me with the person I was when I was young. But I had a different role then, played in a different position.

The No. 8 position is my favourite position. That's no secret.

I grew up there and played all the youth teams at Borussia.

I would love to be the face of Bayern.

I prefer to play in Spain than in the Premiership. Spanish football is more like my qualities.

The dream of everyone is playing in Spain, Madrid, or Barcelona.

The metabolic disturbances are now part of my life.

Of course I can imagine extending my contact at Dortmund. I have always said how at home I feel here.

For me, playing through all the youth teams at Borussia Dortmund was a really good experience because I was able to play against talented opponents at a relatively early age.

My desire is always to play, and that will never change, I've experienced too much and had too much success.
