Video: Mesut's Rather Cheeky Post-Bayern Interview, Fully Translated!

Translated by me,

It didn't go too well. What didn't work out in the game, Mesut?

Of course the goals we allowed were unlucky, most especially the 2:1. It's very bitter for us, but I am convinced that we will win the game at home.

What makes you so certain?

We believe in our strengths. We showed today, in phases, what we're capable of. We're rather stronger at home and...like I said before...we believe in our strengths and I myself am convinced that we'll get to the next round.

We thought that perhaps if you hadn't been substituted the game wouldn't have been lost. What do you think of that?

(Mesut laughs, blushes and smiles) I don't know. It just happened that way. We lost 2:1, unfortunately, and at home we'll have to win the game and get to the final.

We'll look at the goal once again - what was this moment like for you? Was extremely well set up and not much for you to do.

It was my easiest goal. I was happy about it of course. I'm a little sad about the defeat but I'm staying positive and believe we'll win at home and...we'll see each other again in Munich! (Mesut smiles, rather cheekily as it happens!)

You sound really convinced. We chatted with the other players on the National Team and they are convinced they are going to do it.

Well naturally. Bayern is a big team - above all at home. We knew they'd be very strong. But as I said before: we lost unfortunately, unluckily and they want to get into the final but our goal is to win the game and get to the next round...
