"Training and playing are different things. I've noticed it. If you come in and you realise after six..." — Mats Hummels

When I end my career, I don't need to win eight championships, I'd rather have done something special.

Nobody thought that I could become a professional. I was not that good. It was really just one thing I had fun doing. But it was never realistic for me to become a professional until I became 17 or maybe 18.

You don't often find a team where people are really friends with each other.

Everybody can win things with 25 superstars in the squad.
