"Otherwise, there would only be unrest and I'd have to worry about things that aren't the most important right. I'll be 25 in May and have enough experience to make such decisions clearly. I need a good feeling. I have to like what people tell me.

"It's about the plan with me and with the team. Of course, it's also about goals. If I'm convinced of that, I'll do it.

"Every player and every situation is different. What happened to one player doesn't necessarily happen to another. Sometimes it also depends on what type of player you are and what makes you tick.

"Getting information is good, but I make decisions myself. I concentrate on myself, not on the way of others."
