Kai Havertz

When you do nothing for two and half weeks and then you start training again, you feel like you have never played football before.

I always hear people say that they don't know my position and, to be honest, I don't know exactly, either. It's somewhere between the No 10 and the No 9. I don't like to stay the whole game in one position and play from there. I like to float around a little bit.

Animals mean a lot to me and with animals also comes nature and the climate and so, for me, they are very important.

I am lucky I played a few big games at Chelsea.

You have to put your ego aside and give your best for the team.

I'm not the big guy in the middle like some strikers. I play the position a little bit different.

I was lucky as a kid.

I do my best to help as many animals as possible.

I think animals are very important for us, for the world, and I do my best for them to have a better life.

The one who really impressed me is Olivier Giroud. I wouldn't have expected that before. He's an amazing player. Playing with him as a striker is just fun.

It was always important that a club comes to me or my agent and says: 'You are the player and we want you and we do everything for you. Please come to us.'

For me, I've loved Chelsea my whole life.

It was important to me to have a club with a vision.

It's true to say that fixed positions don't exist any more in attacking areas.

Of course, sometimes it's good to play in different positions and sometimes it's bad, but in general I'm an offensive player.

It was very good for me to get out of Germany, to experience something new, to adopt the way of playing in England.

Moving to Chelsea was the best thing I could have done.

I know I am not a real number nine. I want to have the ball and drop back to start the attack.

Of course we all know Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, as a kid these are the big ones. In Germany, it was Mesut Ozil, who was also No 10, he was very good.

Ronaldinho was very big for me, Kaka as well because he was also a No 10 and he was tall. As a kid I tried to do the same things in the garden with the ball, imitate them a bit.

I always go into matches telling myself that I want to score or make an assist. As a striker, you have to do that. Of course, it's not possible in every game. There are only a small amount of players that can really do that, and even they struggle sometimes.

You always try to focus on the games.

It is always good when being compared to players that have played well in the past. It definitely feels good when the fans compare you to such a player.

I'm very happy to have won three big titles with Chelsea in a short time.

Scoring in the big games is of course very special.

My objective is to master classical and modern music eventually.

I have a lot of fun saving donkeys, horses or ponies.

My dream will always be to wear the No.10 one day at my club.

If I'm in the box, I'm there to score goals and that's it.

I think it's important to have something calming away from football that allows you to switch off a bit.

I like to be in the box.

I'm a guy who loves nature and who loves animals.

I like to do things not everybody else will do.

Frank Lampard was exactly the sort of player I wanted to be when I was growing up, I used to watch everything he did and it was the same with Michael Ballack.

I always wanted to play in England but I didn't know I would get the move so soon.

Klopp is a big manager in every sense.

I know the meaning of the word, I know I'm not a real number nine but also I don't see me as a real number nine.

I have to improve my game. It's not been easy for me, but there are no excuses.

I always give my best also in Premier League games, sometimes I have more luck.

I think it's a lot different to Germany, the Premier League is much harder. They have very good teams and I think the life, everything is different, even small things like driving on the right side.

For me, Chelsea is always a big club. I remember all the big players who played here.

It's for me a dream come true to play in a big club like Chelsea.

When you play at Chelsea and you notice the size of the club when you walk through the rooms - what pictures are hanging here, what players were here - then the goal is clearly to win titles as soon as possible.

Xavi says you play football with your head. For me, intelligent players are the best players.

Bayern Munich is a great club, but I can't say I only want to stay in Germany. Some people want to spend their whole lives here. I'm not that guy.

I want to play for the biggest clubs in the world.

In all the decisions I will make, my family and friends will take part.

I really like the No. 9 position, but I also know that as a striker you have to score goals.

Of course the positions are different, but I can play anything up front.

In Germany, I was always the best, everybody loved me and then they think: 'OK, he comes to England, now he can do it again.' It was just not easy for me. But as a person and a player, I grew very much during that period and, after the rain, comes always the sun.
