English players are probably scared to come abroad. They are in a comfort zone in England: that's where we grew up; that's where we played in youth teams.
I have a really good relationship with Bayern. I might become a coach after retirement, but with the youth teams.
I went to Chelsea twice when I was 14 and 15. I was at Danish club Odense at the time and came across with a friend to Cobham. We played against West Ham youth away, and the year after, we played Millwall away.
For me, playing through all the youth teams at Borussia Dortmund was a really good experience because I was able to play against talented opponents at a relatively early age.
On my youth teams, I always pretty good. I guess I just really started to play with some of my peers around age 8 or 9. We always battled and had fun playing in the rec leagues.
It's my belief that Barcelona are successful because they have a number of youth teams alongside the first team. They are where it begins.
Always, even with the U17s in Spain, U19s, we play from the back, and we try to improve on that a lot. So I always enjoy having the ball at my feet.
I grew up there and played all the youth teams at Borussia.
I appreciate Thomas Tuchel. He made his way through the ranks at Mainz from the youth teams.
