Leroy Sane

I was young and playing against big players and big clubs. In the beginning, I was thinking they were better than me, and maybe I was a bit scared, also.

Jogi Low and Pep Guardiola both know exactly how to deal with me. To receive criticism from big coaches even delights me a bit.

For me, it is important to get away from football, to calm down, relax, and have fun with family and friends.

For sure, my parents knew what I had to eat and how to prepare for training sessions and what behaviour was needed in order to be serious about my football. But they weren't pushy, like you had to be a certain way.

The other players are all normal human beings, so just play your best and play free.

I try all the time to improve in the game, training all the time, and to help my team with assists or goals.

I'm very excited about going to Wembley for the first time.

The first time I was called up for Germany, it was Mesut who decided to look after me. He told me if I ever had any kind of problem, he would try to help me out, and that is exactly what he did. For sure, he helped me a lot.

There is definitely a big difference from the Bundesliga to the Premier League: it is completely different, and that is why I think we need a bit of time in the beginning to get used to the league.

I needed a little time to settle, to know the Premier League, the people here, how they are, and to know the players. I had to find my confidence.

I have inherited pace from my dad, and in terms of the physical side with the balance, I have inherited that from my mum.

I had to go step by step to get used to the training and to the system of Pep Guardiola.
