‘They believe in me at Schalke. I made this decision, and a few defeats won’t change anything.

‘We worked hard enough, in every match, in every training session. But we’ve made mistakes and we need to cut them out.

‘But we fight and I believe that’s also the reason that the fans support us.

‘I don’t know that from England. If you lose there, nobody supports you in the stadium.’
