“I am not too loyal. At [Borussia] Dortmund, it was clear when I left [in 2015], I stated ‘something has to change here’. It is a unique scenario.
“Either the supervisor’s place modifications or a whole lot of different issues change. So, so far as I am involved except somebody tells me, I will not go.
“I will be right here for so long as I am needed. If no one tells me to go, I will not go. So meaning possibly there’s a level the place we now have to change different stuff. We will see that, however that’s one thing for the long run. Like summer season or no matter. Not now.
“I have space and time to think about it, we have to play better football now.”
