Mats Hummels: "To make it public was the last bullet in my opinion"

Mats Hummels is the spokesman in the Borussia Dortmund cabin.

The 32-year-old defender is known to openly express critical opinions.

Here is now talking about the dismissal of coach Lucien Favre at BVB and the allegations that he was a driving force.

He's also worried about ending his own career as a professional.

In addition, the 2014 world champion allows a look into his emotional state after his departure from the national team.

"It was surreal," said Hummels, who also comments on a possible return to the national team and harshly criticizes the way some colleagues play.

Question:

Mr. Hummels, Marco Reus and you were viewed as a kind of regicide because of your criticism of tactics.

What was the aim of your statements?
