For me, it is very important to control a situation in defence. You can always score goals, but you have to add stability in the defence.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
Roy Keane and Paul Scholes were unbelievable players. You cannot compare yourself to them. It is impossible. Scholes especially, I like him a lot, and I have a lot of respect for what he did for United.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
I felt within myself that I needed to change what I was doing. I needed a new stimuli. So the interest from Manchester United was a perfect fit.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
I have won the most national titles as a German, so what should I do after that? Lay back and take it easy? That's not how I am.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
My absolute dream would be to play for Manchester United and help them reach the goals they have.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
I am more mature now and know how to deal with certain situations in football. It's not all about highs; there are also lows, but I can deal with it. Football is a hard business.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
I'm so happy that I was able to make it to 120 games for Germany; 175 games would have been possible. I've had many great moments, but particularly the way the fans supported me and the road to the final in Rio.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
I love standing on the pitch too much to focus on anything else - if I want to be a coach or something.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
I would love to win the Champions League once again. Winning big trophies like the Champions League or the World Cup is usually making people think, 'The players are not hungry any more.' Still, that's not what I feel.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
I'm not one to think of burying my head in the sand - I've always been a positive person and still am now.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
I always want to play and help, especially when we're at the top of the league.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
When our players come from somewhere else, they sometimes show happiness when the game is 0-0 or 1-1, but we were brought up in an environment where we have to win. We are not satisfied with 0-0 or 1-1. This is the mentality of Bayern Munich.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
The small teams are playing well. That's visible, and it has had an impact on German football.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
American leagues - baseball, ice hockey, American football and basketball - you are the best. But in a global sport like soccer, you're not.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
My wish is that soccer in the U.S. become on the same level like the Premier League, Spanish league, or the Bundesliga.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
There is fireworks before the game; there is the national anthem before the game, so that is a huge difference to how it is in Germany: like, after the warmup, you touch the ball 20 minutes later. So that is a little bit different. The league, for example, the MLS is quite a young league, actually, but it is developing.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
I just want to play well, have the people in Chicago enjoy watching soccer. You have a very good baseball team, a very good ice hockey team, and a very good football team. Hopefully you'll have a very good soccer team.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger

First of all, I think it is not easy to win a title in the Premier League, as you have really good teams here.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
I was looking forward my whole career to once playing somewhere else to get the experience, and if I thought about moving to England, I always had Manchester United in my head.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
I was looking forward to playing soccer, playing more minutes on the pitch, and I didn't have the chance to play more minutes in Manchester. So I came here to the Chicago Fire.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
I just want to help, first of all, the Chicago Fire to grow, to change the mentality to a winning team, and to reach the playoffs. That's my goal. But also to change the game style into a team which is able to control every opponent.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
I am a football player. I like to win. And I am used to winning - quite a lot.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
I never doubted my quality. Let me show my quality, and I will get results.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
Even when I was training alone, just me and one of United's fitness coaches, I loved going onto the field, doing sprints, being at the training ground.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
I am actually comfortable in every position in midfield. At Bayern Munich, I even played as a winger and sometimes a full-back, so I can play many different positions.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
When you know how the coach ticks and how he wants to play football, it makes the decision easier. But for the main part, I came to England because of the club Manchester United.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
It's not like I can say, 'I have signed for three years; now we'll win three straight titles.'
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
In Manchester, you don't have proper tall buildings. Or in Munich.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
I love this game. I love to find solutions, ideas. I always saw the potential of this league. Now that I'm here, I want to help.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
I want to help. I want to contribute myself to the club as much as I can.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
I think I have a lot of experience, especially of the big matches, and that is an advantage always.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
Rarely was a distinction deserves as the Oscar for best supporting actor, who went to the late Heath Ledger. His 'Joker' is really incredible.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
I had a lot of pressure in my career: when you play at World Cup or Champions League final, there is pressure on your shoulders.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
The league is interesting because it's evident everyone can beat everyone. And sometimes things happen you just don't understand. This might be referee decisions or the running paths or passes of a teammate. It's different than in Europe, but you have to take things as they are.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
Not everything is seen that happens on the pitch - the teammate in a good position, where it might get dangerous, how a situation develops.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
One player's influence in football is not as big as in other sports: it's 11 players vs. 11 players.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
The Argentinians provoke and are always whingeing to the referee to try and change his opinion. It starts before the match. You see their body language, how they gesticulate, how they try to influence the referee. That is not part of the game. That is a lack of respect. It's their mentality and character, and we'll have to adjust.
Quote by -Bastian Schweinsteiger
I'm happy with my own performance, but I can only be good if the team are good.
