My idol and what I’d ask them
My idol is Manuel Neuer, I'd ask him how he mentally prepares for big games.
My dream job if I hadn’t become a professional footballer
That's a tough question. I'm really interested in paleontology and archaeology, but also in history and people, so I have no idea which one I'd choose, haha.
Sports I like besides football
I like playing padel and I recently tried Jiu-Jitsu, which was really fun.
My favourite travel destination
My favourite travel destination is probably Hungary, although I really like Barcelona too.
My favourite food
My favourite dish is chicken paprikash with dumpings.
My favourite book and why I’d recommend it
I think two books everyone should read are "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor E. Frankl and "Being Mortal" by Atul Gawande. If you're into dinosaurs, "The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs" by Steve Brusatte is a great place to start.
First memory of FC Bayern
I remember watching Arjen Robben's games for FC Bayern.
How I calm down when I'm annoyed after a game
I normally phone my family or friends and then I like to be alone, reading or gaming.
Most exciting football match
For me, the Champions League match between Real Madrid and Ajax in 2019 was particularly exciting.
My pre-match ritual
Before a late game, I like to tidy up my flat. Then I listen to music on the bus.

Supercup: 2026

Eredivisie: 2023

KNVB Cup: 2024
