I could play, scored a goal; I showed that I can play in Europe, in England. Because many say that England is very difficult.

I have to prove myself to everybody.

You have to give people the opportunity to prove themselves.

I had to prove myself to a lot of different people.

In Barcelona, Bayern Munich, in Spain and Germany we were able to do it. But people say, 'You only did it because you were in Barcelona and Bayern Munich. You will not be able to do it in England.' So, let's do it. We are going to try.

I've shown people what I can do and want to establish myself as a Premier League player.

My affiliation with England is borne out by the fact that I do come back for periodic visits.

I was the very first athlete in East Germany allowed to go professional.

I don't get recognized in England. Not at all. Every so often, I get recognized in other countries.

The fact is that I loved being in England.
