I never panic.

What was good yesterday might be bad the next morning, so you have to keep calm.

There are a lot of good players all over the world.

Mistakes happen, but if you make them in the Bundesliga, you will be punished.

We need to be confident, but do not look back; look at what's coming.

We have to learn from the past.

Competition means the best player will play.

I have always said that I am a friend of VAR.

At Bayern, you always go into a season with the goal to win titles.

To say a player is past it at 29, 30 isn't right.

In Germany, it is normal, when games end, you shake hands with your players.

It's not easy to play against a team with a man down.

For me personally, Pep Guardiola is the best coach in the world.

Fortunately, I had some very good coaches.

Everyone wants to score goals - that's the point of football - but you have to look at the whole situation in detail.

We cannot play soccer without hands. You need your arms while running.

Football provides the most beautiful stories.

I've always been someone who said that football is a contact sport.

Real Madrid without Cristiano Ronaldo are, of course, not what they were with Ronaldo, but they're still a very good team.

You can't manage every footballer the same. Of course you'd love to, but it doesn't work like that. We're not robots.

That's the way people are in general: they see everything negatively at first and then choose to ask questions.

Spending big money does not mean you win all the silverware.

Of course, the attacking players get the attention because they score the goals, score nice goals, and those are the moments that remain in memory. But I wish that other players who are not in the foreground, who still perform well for their club or association, get more recognition.

I'm a firm believer in science.
