. In order to compete with new young players, you have to put in more effort, you have to accept that you can't play forever, and that's actually a good thing.

Because your career is short, you should cherish it even more. I may not be playing until I was 40, but I can imagine playing for a few more years, here or elsewhere. Now we are very happy in Frankfurt, I still have a one-year contract, plus a one-year option. I will look at the situation year by year, but I don't think I will stay in football all the time, I don't think that's for me.

I am more likely to invest in the investment industry, private equity and venture capital. Five years ago, I founded the asset management company Companion M and also participated in some charitable activities. I funded the establishment of schools in Africa, donating to hospitals in Frankfurt…I also invested in businesses focusing on climate solutions and I hope that after my career, people remember not only as a good player, but also as a good person.
