'I don't know at what age Beckenbauer moved to America,' he said. 'I am 30. It is a challenge for me to prove I can do it here. I had my knee trouble after the World Cup which was very intensive for me and I had a break at October.
'But I have a lot of experience in big matches and that is an advantage. I am confident I can adjust to the Premier League. My style of play is to control a game.
'You have to be smart in your brain and fast. For me it is very important to control a situation in defence. You can always score goals but you have to add stability in the defence.
'I had the chance to join United in 2010. I thought about what to do. There were opportunities. But my goal was always to win the Champions League with my club Bayern Munich. Now I am happy to be here.
'My brother is a huge Manchester United fan. He is a big Eric Cantona and Ryan Giggs fan. It was always a dream to be a Manchester United player.
'I saw the 1999 Champions League final between United and Bayern at home. My brother had the United jersey on and I had Bayern's. I didn't cry but my brother was very happy.
'I always followed the Premier League and we watched a lot of United games with my brother.'
'That is my goal for my time here, I want to win titles and this is what Manchester United is used to and I am the same. I cannot guarantee titles but I will guarantee that we will do everything to be successful in the season.
'I want to make a positive impact. I think I can contribute a lot to the team.
'In Germany we had two seasons when Borussia Dortmund were the champions twice in a row. I also remember the Champions league seasons before we won the Treble with Jupp Heynckes, once against Inter Milan in Madrid and in Munich against Chelsea.
'You learn a lot from these defeats and situations. It was a progress. It is the same at Manchester United. I know the club are looking forward to winning titles again and I am the same.
'They are the biggest club in the world and I am sure this team has the quality to win titles. He [Van Gaal] wants to have success and if he doesn't have success one season then he is more hungry.
'I know maybe sometimes he is not so easy but what I love is that he always wants the best. He wants to improve in every second. He is honest to you.
'This is why in Munich the fans and the team loved him so much. Of course at first it was a little bit different but the relationship grew and we loved him.'
'United are more popular around the world,' he said. 'There is a difference and I could see that. Bayern Munich is a big club but Manchester United is bigger.
'When we were in China people knew us but Bayern were not so big in America. Roy Keane and Paul Scholes were unbelievable players. You cannot compare yourself to them. It is impossible.
'Scholes especially I like him a lot and I have a lot of respect for what he did for United. It was not easy and always tough to play against United. I just want to add my quality to United's game.
'When I see what we do in practise and the quality we have I am sure we have the chance to win titles. I am convinced about that.'
怎么不一样,他这次是在俱乐部参观的接受访谈的,俱乐部官员和英媒都在场。还要怎么不正式?
这次人家让小猪比较曼联和拜仁俱乐部了?人家问他从拜仁到曼联感受如何?这是让他比较哪个俱乐部更bigger 了?
one step more bayer 语气比mu is bigger 更强烈?
你有立场不奇怪,但是没必要站一个踩一个,当初你说他不是拜仁的球员了没必要为他说话,现在希望你说到做到。
