We Germans are so good at penalties because we have had to rebuild our country twice.
You have to work more than your adversary.
As far as knowledge goes I've come a long way.
We enjoy the expectations people have of us. The higher they are, the more pressure, the better we like it.
I always stressed that I didn't have coaching experience, but that I did have a deadline: June 9.
The young generation has a different curiosity that is more visual.
I train for one-and-a-half hours every day in order to keep my energy level high.
We cannot win this World Cup, because we are not at that level yet. For us, we have to play the game of our lives seven times to win the tournament.

We are all very disappointed. It was a lesson for us above all in the first half. But it's over now and we cannot escape it. We have to face the criticism.
