We speak Turkish at home, and I can speak the language. I have a lot of family there - I try to fly to Turkey once a year when I have holidays.

When we lose the ball, we look to win it back as soon as possible. But you can't do it alone; you have to do it all together.

I played a lot at Bayer Leverkusen. I played in the Champions League and in the Bundesliga. I have played a lot of games, and it was a very good decision to go to Leverkusen.

Everyone who knows me knows my respect for women: equality and respect.

My goal is to play a lot, more often, and to be a leader.

It feels good to get to a final, but it makes no sense when you lose, so you have to win the final.

Van Gaal does a good job wherever he is.

My target is to score more goals, not necessarily be the next Steven Gerrard. Obviously, my respect for him is very high, but I want to go my own way. I want to be Emre Can, not copy other players.

I have to work hard. I have to get fitness back. If I get game time - which is always different to training - I have to work hard on my game and get confidence again.
