Diego, you are back. What sort of impressions did you gather at your first Olympic Games?

 

The Olympics in Beijing was a unique experience. It was wonderful to really feel the Olympic spirit. I always wanted to be a part of it and experience the sort of atmosphere that you would find it very difficult to explain to an outsider. The atmosphere, when thousands of athletes from all over the world get together, is fantastic. The feeling of being there is really overwhelming for everyone involved.”

 

Was it a strain for you having to deal with the whole issue of releasing players before the competition started?

 

No, everything had been cleared with Werder. We discussed our points of view prior to the event and then cleared everything. I am very thankful to Werder that I was allowed to play there. I am thankful to Werder anyway because I have felt right at home since my first day here. I will continue to do my very best for the club.”

 

Have you been following what’s been going on in the Bundesliga? Werder unfortunately dropped some points.

 

Yes, I watched both games on the internet. It’s a shame that we threw away the leads we had. From the outside it’s almost worse having to watch it than it is when you’re on the pitch where you can possible influence things. We need to put a run of wins together now.”

 

A run of wins that can catapult you right back to the top?

 

Of course!! With the signing of Claudio Pizarro we have now strengthened the squad with one of the best strikers in Germany. I want to win the German championship. I couldn’t possibly go into the season with any other target.”
