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.
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.
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.
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 appreciate Thomas Tuchel. He made his way through the ranks at Mainz from the youth teams.
I grew up there and played all the youth teams at Borussia.
