Jürgen Klinsmann

You know, all the best players, you know, if it's Zico, if it's, I mean, Mateus and Brehme were there, Rudi Völler was there from the national team.

And then, obviously, Gulli van Basten-Rijkaard and all these players and...

I said, okay, coach.

You didn't doubt him?

You believed what he was telling you?

Yeah, I really thought he means it in a good way.

He means it for me.

You know, I got to...

move on and do things that make me better than hopefully.

Would your father have told you you need to go when you're 12, 13 because of his experience and the fact that he... Maybe he saw, yeah, he just saw there's more to life than just the bakery probably and he saw that I have a lot of talent and what I'm doing there and

I went through all the youth national teams then with Germany, and so he understood that this kid is hungry, he's driven, he's trying to make the right decisions, which we not always do, but we try to.

From a little kid on, yeah.

I just wanted to score goals.

I was just driven by goals.

I was not driven by jogging the ball around or, you know,

I just thought, you know, I know where the goal is.

Just give me the ball and I will take care of it somehow.

And I think in the under 10, so he gave me, when I started to play at eight year old, he said, okay, if you do this now, and I think you have really quite some talent, I start a book for you.
