In the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Dortmund will face Paris Saint-Germain away from home. Hummels attended the pre-match press conference and talked about how to defend Mbappe and other topics.
How to defend Mbappe?
You can only rely on the whole team to defend him. He has unparalleled speed. One person cannot defend him, but he is only part of Paris. You must also pay attention to many other aspects. You must also keep your head clear during 90 minutes. .
Talking about personal future
I want to make a decision very late and the club agrees with this, the important thing is to see what my body can do.
Talking about personal performance in important games
It's not just me who performed well in these games, the team as a whole played well, which made it easier for me.
Talking about another Champions League semi-final
Of course we want to get to the final, we donāt care who we meet, but it will definitely be a strong opponent, the two (Real Madrid and Bayern Munich) are probably the most successful teams in the last 20 years.
Letās talk about playing against Mbappe
Of course, who you play against will be very different. Especially against the fast forward Mbappe, but knowing that beforehand is not a big issue for me.
Talk about partner Schloterbeck
If he is selected for the European Cup squad, I will be happy for him. He's a great guy, has the right attitude and has become a leader. The national team will have a great time with him and if he practices attacking headers with me now I'll be completely happy with him. He's 24 now and won't play as long as I did, but he definitely has eight years left.
On right back Ryerson
I love playing with him and you can always count on him. He is a true defender who loves confrontation, which is what a full-back dreams of. But I get along well with him off the court as well, he has a dark sense of humor and I like that.
