00:00 How should I start?

00:14 I've experienced a lot of ups and downs, but more ups in my opinion.

00:19 The club and I have decided not to extend the contract.

00:24 It made me incredibly proud and grateful to have played for this club for so many years.

00:37 But it's important for me to tell you first.

00:42 And secondly, because we have a huge goal ahead of us.

00:46 We want to go to Wembley and we want to bring the Henkel pod back to Dortmund.
