The 31-year-old added, “My first touch with the board last year was at the Christmas party in Munich. I was asked if I would like to stop by and give people food. It was nice to give people something at Christmas”.

He continued, "When I see what the volunteers, volunteers, nurses, doctors, supermarket employees across Germany are currently doing, I think that these role models exist in all areas of life

“But as I said, of course, I also want to help personally. This has less to do with the fact that I am a footballer, but with humanity. Everyone has to decide for themselves."
