It's not easy, especially for a German national team player who did great things in the past and maybe is struggling. That's why I think most of the German national team play abroad because if you don't play for Bayern Munich and you don't always win, it's difficult.

Andre Schurrle

The way we stop Mesut Ozil is as a team. He's a good player but only as a team can we stop him.

N'Golo Kante

Bernard is a great player, a player for the Brazilian national team, and I also followed his progress with Atletico Mineiro.

Richarlison

Shkodran Mustafi is a great choice, he's a great defender with lots of experience. He played with the German national team so we know his quality.

Michel Salgado

Ozil is fantastic. One of the best in the world. Not only a great player but a great human being.

Cafu

Our junior national teams feature increasing numbers of kids from immigrant backgrounds, but who have grown up in Germany. Their roots are elsewhere, but they feel German. They draw on two cultures, and I believe that's been a real and visible factor in the football we've been playing. One of the best and abiding images was Cacau, a Christian with Brazilian roots, celebrating a goal with Mesut Ozil, a Muslim from a Turkish background. Ozil jumped on to Cacau's shoulders, and they gazed up into the stands, both wearing Germany shirts. It was wonderfully symbolic.

Oliver Bierhoff

I think winning a championship, for me, it put things in perspective. You can either be a great player on a so-so team, or you can be a role player on a championship team, or, in an extreme case, a great player on a championship team.

Harrison Barnes

Of course, for the national team it is good to have Mesut Ozil in good form.

Andre Schurrle

To have a great player like Neymar at PSG would be a great honour. He's a phenomenal player, and to have great player is a great thing for the team.

Lucas Moura

When I played for Hannover I had several offers, also - as I have been told - from Hamburg, Bremen and Bayern. Back then I already was a German international and Bayern would have loved to have the complete German national team.

Per Mertesacker

I am very proud to be the captain of the German national team.

Manuel Neuer

I had very good players around me in the team, like in the German national team. Andreas Brehme was one of my best partners in the team because he had good eyes; he could always hit the best ball.

Lothar Matthaus

I've had the opportunity to play with Neymar on the national team. Now I'm playing alongside Messi. He's a different player, but he's the best player in the world.

Paulinho

I had role models in my community, guys that were older than me and played at university or on the national team. Eli Pasquale was always around UVic when I was a young player, and the national team was around Victoria a little bit, so I got to watch those guys and learn from them.

Steve Nash

It had never been a decision to choose between the French national team or the Senegalese national team because I was growing up in France and playing in the French youth national team, so it was something really normal.

Patrick Vieira

Toni Kroos leaving the German national team would hurt me very much.

Lothar Matthaus
