I'm not going to lose my level in a year either, he said in the columns of The team. I'm not going to lose the pace: I play much more there than in Bayern last season.

In selection, I was holder on short periods, but during major competitions, I have always been a replacement with the ambition to help the team. You can say that I am used to this role. What is harder is to experience this from the stands, when there are 26 players and therefore apart on match days. There, clearly, I prefer to leave my place to someone who has never known that. ”
