BERLIN, Feb. 4 (Xinhua) -- Mats Hummels, 2014 World Champion, joined Bayern Munich last summer after over 250 games for Borussia Dortmund. The 28-year-old central defender did 55 Internationals for Germany.
The following is the text of a Xinhua interview with Hummels ahead of Bayern's knock-out stage matches against Arsenal at the Champions League.
Xinhua: Mr. Hummels, you once said if you were not football professional you would try to become a journalist. Is there a question the journalist Hummels would like to ask the footballer Hummels. Maybe how's the first year at Bayern going?
Hummels: (laughing) First of all I'd wait until the first year is completed.
Xinhua: Do you take a special interest in what the media are doing?
Hummels: Just in a normal way I think, I try to get information about things I'm interested in. But I wouldn't say, I have a special deep insight into it which is perhaps a little surprising considering my mother is a journalist.
Xinhua: But we've heard you take care of your social media accounts and you write the texts yourself. Most footballers use agencies to do the work because they don't have the time. Why don't you?
Hummels: I never liked it when I had the impression someone was doing the work instead of the man the people are interested in. I prefer to say it in my own words. It may not be perfect regarding a clean image but, after all, it's me and they are my thoughts. For me that is more important than professional messages which may lack a clear opinion.
Xinhua: How did you prepare for the public relations side of your profession? Did you go through a special training program with professional help or did your mother, a well-known journalist in Germany, support you?
Hummels: As for my mother, I can say she was fundamentally involved making me the person I'm. But I didn't especially ask for special help. I rely more on a good common sense.
Xinhua: For long, you were regarded as everybody's darling or a mother-in-law's dream. When you joined Bayern Munich from Borussia Dortmund, things changed slightly . . . .
Hummels: (laughing) . . . . I had harder times before . . . . . in the beginning, most things look rather bright. However I don't think there is a single person for whom things continued brightly until the end of their career. There are always things where people have other opinions and express their own opinion or way to see things.
Xinhua: Well how do you see your first months at Bayern Munich? Have your expectations been fulfilled?
Hummels: For me as an individual, things have turned out fine. No regrets at having made the move. As for the team, the results are as they should be. Maybe it's only the way we can play. We have to improve and start dominating more than we are currently doing. We're aware of it and we're working on it. But after all we are well ahead of the third placed team in the Bundesliga table so that there's a fair bit of space between us and the other clubs.
Xinhua: Did it surprise you that things worked so well for you right from the beginning. After all you joined Bayern Munich from Borussia Dortmund which is not exactly the easiest thing to do?
Hummels: It helped for sure that I didn't join Bayern as youngster trying to break into the team for the first time. It helped a lot that I already knew many of the guys. It gives you a better feeling at the start. That it worked that well makes me extremely happy.
Xinhua: You came as the captain of Borussia Dortmund. The team captain is one of the leading men expressing his opinion on almost every occasion. How do you deal with that in your new club? Is the leader Mats Hummels a leader at Bayern Munich expressing his opinion when training and for instance when everybody is listening?
Hummels: I did.
