I have to push myself to be better, for the crowd and for myself. I will make it, I’ll try to make it, and defensive- wise, I’m getting much better now with the help of the coach, so I want to keep going like this for defence.” When I was in Bielefeld and we stayed in the Bundesliga, we drank some nice, cold beer. They wanted to stop me, but I said ‘Hey, stop the talk, I want to go!’ And I went. Normally I don’t drink alcohol during the season, but after the season, after the last game I always drink a beer. I’m one of them, I had my dream to play in the Bundesliga also, and when Bielefeld called me, it was very exciting. “I had a dream when I was a kid to play in Europe. I went to the FIFA U20 World Cup at that time, and I was thinking I wanted to show the world that I deserved to play in Europe.

Cologne kept wave after wave of Bayern attacks at bay and looked set for their first win at Bayern since 2009, but midfielder Kimmich scored pulled back a point for the hosts in the last minute of regulation time.
