Interview with swiss national TV it s in swiss german though....
I tried to keep it as close to the original as possible hope it still makes some sense
Translation:
On san siro and the inter fans: I have to be honest it s an incredible atmosphere at san siro... really it s crayze.
I only had one game in san siro thus far but it s loud (laughs) it s really loud, it s loud it s emotional, theres lots of passion from the stands..
Those are the reasons why we play football those emotions the noise in that stadium.. you just realize that the inter fans living in milano live this club 100% and thats beautiful
On his 2 transfers in 7 months: It s been a wild ride, if one would have asked me 1.5 years ago... I had a very not relaxed but continous career @Borussia many years great situation then in a very short span everything changed, we ve moved twice now as a family experiencing two complet( the complete does also not make sense in swiss german) club worlds. the time at Bayern was very successful for me ofcourse it was also wild we ve experienced a lot we had a lot of changes also a lot of chaos in those 6 months but we still became champions in the end so for me a very successful time.
And now with the change to Milano another big club a slightly different mentality, different culture different country, again moving with the family which comes with a lot of work. Interesting as in i enjoy that very much and am looking forward to the next months with this team with this club and try to get the maximum out of it.
On his first impressions: You enter a new environement of course everything is new different way of doing things new people new squad new city. you need a couple of days to get used to it. Til you know whos responsible for what how the mechanism works also the language is different first time for me that i play in a team where german is not the main language and thats a change but the club made it very easy for me as well as the team welcomed me very fast.
And the city well everybody who knows milano knows how great of a city that is so about the life outside of the club i dont worry at all. But even there you need some time to organize the private life so that everybody feels 100% comfortable.
On criticism after the 1st game( friendly): I take criticism very serious and am open for criticism but not for all of it , it s normal i come new to a club and am here for a few days and then people judge a friendly as if it was a CL game that is of little use to me.... but thats the way it is these days and i can handle it well...
If you come to a new club you need a bit of time all players have that you dont know the team you dont know the club you might not be fully focused cause you still need to organize stuff around your move, thats why i m very happy how we started the campionato it s always important as a team that you start good that you start with positive experience and that you can build on that and we succeded in that
