I opted for BVB because I need my regular environment where I feel at home. It has nothing to do that I am not able to handle the pressure or what is permanently speculated. We are also measured in wins and trophies here at Dortmund.
It is truly an amazing feeling to play in the final of the Champions League with the BVB at Wembley. Ahead of my transfer to Dortmund, I definitely hadn't thought about this being a possible scenario.
BVB with its incredible fans has grown in my heart.
The devotion of the BVB Army, with its very big online presence, is amazing. We've been fortunate from the very beginning. It was something that was really able to spur on our career.
I was always proud, and still am, to wear the BVB jersey and to be part of this exceptional team.
I was born in Dortmund and grew up here, so you become automatically a black and yellow. I played here for many years in the youth ranks, but at first I did not have the chance to become a professional football player at BVB and to realize my dream.
The really crucial thing here at BVB is that everyone works together so hard as a team. I'm a part of that, and I'm delighted I've been able to contribute to our good results.
I've never believed in so much as I do the BVB Army. Rock and Roll is my religion. And Rock and Roll is back. I love all of you outcast.
Tuchel became runner-up, cup winner, and played attractive football. I enjoyed watching his BVB. That's why I appreciate him and consider him a very good coach.
Walking up to the Whisky some guys said to me 'the Scene is dead. Stop wearing makeup faggot!' All I could do was smile and think about the BVB Army and the legions of dedicated fans BVB has. I will wear my warpaint proudly, thank you very much! Seriously love you all.
I know and I am very proud that in my home country Japan and all over Asia millions of people are interested in BVB and follow us on a daily basis.
I have always said that the BVB style is exactly how I want to play football.
There will always be someone who can pay more than BVB. But Dortmund have made a lot of progress during my time here.
I am feeling very well here and want to achieve much more with BVB and win titles. I am here and nowhere else: not at Arsenal, not at Barcelona, and not on the moon.
Dortmund is my home; BVB is my club.
