In a candid interview with Eurosport Germany, Dortmund’s youth product shared his opinion on health, football, the 2018 FIFA World Cup and overall . . .
. . . His return was opposed to Hamburg in February
I lightly hit a ball for seven months. The feeling of my return is hard to describe – other than my shin injury in 2016, I have never been away for so long. They are the things I missed the most, I am so grateful to have them again.

. . . His injury over the years
I’ve been through a lot and I’ve had to suffer a lot of setbacks, it’s part of life. However, I strive to give each of the things in each and every one of the seasons, to be healthy and recover, the older you get, the more you have to take care of yourself, you know your body more and more. on my stage play well. I can’t carry out at the point I’m expecting from myself if I still have compatibility for several months or even a year or two. Overall, I think positively. Even when I’m hurt, I never say, “Whore, why me?”
. . . His source of strength his rehabilitation
At first it was very difficult: when the season started, I was far from being able to think about team training because I started to delay in rehab, the wound was complicated. And then you’re there in the stands of the games, emotionally quite distant, because you know very well that there are still 3 or 4 months of rehab, but I knew the time would come when things would get better. My family, wife friends and friends also helped. I’ve done new things.
. . . Replenishment of career prospects and after injuries
When you’re 20-25, all you think about is football. Every day you think about how you can make your game. Right now, I’m pleased to be healthy and be able to enjoy my time in the countryside. You’re not recovering this time. It is a replacement in the attitude that comes with age and is derived from my reports of recent years. You also have to think about other vital things in life besides football. Of course, each and every athlete must succeed and win. but that’s not life. For me, it’s about feeling loose and doing what you love. I think that’s what I learned to the fullest when I came out here.
. . . The 2018 World Cup
It would be a lie if I said that I wasn’t thinking about the World Cup and that I was looking to be there, but I’ve never been a user planning for 3 or 4 specific purposes, everything is in my head because it’s vital to be focused. However, I will not hide the fact that my purpose is to be there. I know I have a great chance if I play well.
. . . Germany protects its title
There are many very intelligent nations involved. I think the quality is higher than in 2014. I hope the games will be tighter because many groups have taken a step forward and replaced their game. It will go back to the small details, but everyone, knows that Germany is a force to consider in football tournaments, but we will have to be 100 percent to repeat the good fortune of 2014.
