Leon Goretzka about Leroy Sané: "It’s no secret that I like to play together with Leroy. We understand each other very well. Our friendship goes way back, I’ve known Leroy since 5th grade. So we have a much deeper friendship than if we only knew each other from football.”
Leon Goretzka: "He's a guy you want beside you in important games. He doesn't know fear in such situations, but is able to perform. In Leroy's head, the most important thing is that he wants to play football successfully and win titles."
Leon Goretzka: "What many forget is that he is no longer the boy he was when he was 19. In some things he is even ahead of me: he has become a father and dared to go abroad."
Goretzka speak about solidarity: "My big wish is that we take it with us for the time afterwards. One or two generations before us it was normal to help the neighbor, something for him. Can't we continue to do that after Corona?"
Goretzka about corona crisis in professional football: "I can not imagine that much will change, even if the will is certainly there in some places. It will be so in the short term, because the money is simply not there. Many clubs are concerned about livelihoods."
Leon Goretzka clearly positions himself against the AfD: "Of course, issues like the fight against racism always play a role in politics, but I don't want to be perceived as a spokesman for any party. In general, I am concerned with people and values such as equality."
