About his knee: I have to do special exercises so that everything remains stable. Currently everything is good. 

About the favourite position:  I’d say that each player has a favourite position. I don’t consider myself an experienced Bundesliga player yet, so I wouldn’t say much about preferences right now. The main thing is that I play. That’s what counts. For me, the position is relatively unimportant. I’d play as a defender if I have to.

Importance of the upcoming season: This year is extremely important to me. I want to be a regular player like everyone else, and be able to say after this season that I’ve become a seasoned Bundesliga player. I’m working towards it.

About the competition in the midfield: After my injury I am not at 100% yet. It’ll take sometime to get back into top form. At the moment feedback from the coach is good.

Mainz day on Sky 4/8/15.

Hello! Favourite things about Bürki: his adorable personality, he’s calm and composed, he’s a very good goalie, he’s talented and has so much potential, he works hard and he’s ambitious, he’s very close to his family, he has a beautiful smile, he gets along with the boys and he fits in well, he’s super nice to fans (so I’ve heard) and of course he’s ridiculously hot. What amazes the me the most is the contrast between his looks and his personality. He looks like a bad boy but really he’s a sweetheart. That was unexpected. I hope he stays here for as long as he can.

I don’t know much about Kevin as a person. I do admire his skills and he’s done really well for himself. He’s a good goalie and PSG is lucky to have him. I love watching him play. I hope he gets a chance to play for Germany NT. He deserves it so much more than Weidenfeller to be honest. Also he’s very good looking.

Whenever Matthias Ginter and Erik Durm entered the room and someone called ‘World Champion’, Ginter and Durm turned around and thought Schweinsteiger was standing behind them.
