00:00He asks a lot for me, but I like that.

00:04He knows that I'm very comfortable on the ball, on the back.

00:08I have different weapons, in my opinion.

00:11Obviously I can play 60, 70 yards fast as well,

00:17but I'm also comfortable playing it through breaking the lines,

00:21and obviously if you have players there that can help you in the right position

00:25and then speed up, like we have, obviously.

00:30It obviously helps, it's a good team,

00:32I definitely get the responsibility over the years,

00:35you play a certain way,

00:38and obviously Jürgen is very successful,

00:42so you keep sticking to that principle.

00:45Obviously certain things have been changed,

00:48including having more responsibility and starting attacks.

00:51I'm enjoying it, it's obviously something that I can show them as well.

00:59It's surprisingly a surprise for people maybe to see,

01:04but it was there, I can show it now and enjoy it.
