In attack, I can play in every position.
— Andre Schurrle
Mourinho has a great personality and is just a cool guy.
The move to Chelsea has made me better and stronger.
There is no one stronger than Mitrovic - no chance. When you see him lifting weights, you know it's not possible.
Of course I want to be on the pitch as much as possible and score goals for my club.
When I look back, maybe I would change some things. Maybe the move to Germany was too early and I should have stayed at Chelsea a bit longer.
Obviously, I talk to young players and help them a little bit with my experience.
Of course, for the national team it is good to have Mesut Ozil in good form.
I feel it's my duty to get to the young players, tell them what's out there.
Of course I pay attention to the Premier League - it's one of the greatest leagues in Europe.
I rate the EPL a bit higher than the Bundesliga.
It's a big jealousy thing in Germany that you have from fans - not the hardcore fans, because they always stand behind their team.
It was an away game, I think in Poland. I ate some chicken and had really bad salmonella.
It's not that easy to come from the Bundesliga into the Premier League. It's something different.
For a striker to come in and score his first goal is always important.
We need to show we could be in a fight, a battle, and win it. If that means we have to be willing to do something that takes a yellow card, then we have to be ready to do that for each other and I'm happy to do that.
I don't think you would find any player in the Bundesliga who would say that they would not at all be interested. Chelsea would have been very interesting for me. You don't get a chance like that very often in your life.
I don't understand why even fans get angry for a player celebrating.
As players we know pressure is part and parcel of what we do.
It's cool for young guys to see what their idols are doing.
I had this dream for a long time and it was a dream to play for Chelsea and not for another club.
That is the only way to survive in the Premier League. Every game is a battle, whether you're playing the top team or the one at the bottom of the table.
Claudio Ranieri knows the Premier League very well and he knows how to win games.
I'm the guy who tries with my qualities to help on the field.
Mesut is a player who needs the pressure a little bit. He needs the pressure to perform. He is a great player. He is everything that you need in his position when he plays No. 10. He can play the pass and he can score.
You win the World Cup, you're just flying.
I'm really looking forward to working under Mourinho.
I played there a couple of times in Leverkusen, playing as the striker was nothing new for me I knew what to do - it was fully okay.
We had a difficult last two years when I was in Dortmund. It was not easy, the relationship between fans and players.
I want to improve, I have to work hard at my skills.
I want to win titles with Chelsea.
With a line of six in the defence and then three in front of that, it's not always easy to find the spaces to score the goals.
When I was in Germany I never played like this, so defensive - almost a left-back, but that is good for me because defensive work was something I missed in Germany.
You just have to be clear in your head and take the chances when they come.
Every time scoring against a former club is special because you know everyone around the place.
Mourinho is known for getting under players' skins, tickling and goading better performances out of them.
Sometimes I forget, then suddenly I find myself thinking, 'God - I won the World Cup, didn't I?'
In a team like Chelsea with many top players you have to prove yourself again and again.
I had a fantastic time with the national team.
If you don't work hard, all the talent doesn't help.
It's not easy to adapt to losing a lot.
If you have John Terry, Frank Lampard on the pitch, they've seen everything in football. And it gives you a good feeling because they know what to do.
I come to Fulham on loan, they haven't paid anything for me. I'm just here to play football and they see that I want to give everything. I get the feeling that they give me something so that I can be at my best.
In Germany there are only two dominating teams, Bayern and Dortmund. In England the top group is broader.
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.
Football is crazy sometimes.
I want to train hard, train well, and then help the team with my qualities.
I am hungry, I want to achieve something with Chelsea.
I think I'm quite a clever player and that I realise there are times when I can be offensive but others when I must be more compact and work for the team, because that is what matters.
I've learned so much from Mourinho and love being in his team and learning new roles.
