BILD: Mister Marin, your transfer to FC Chelsea isn’t only a surprising, it has also been known very early. Why?
Marin: The talks began in January. Since April all sides - Werder, Chelsea and I - were agreed, there was no reason not to give the change already known.
BILD: You have signed for five years. Why such a long period of time?
Marin: This was Chelsea’s condition, it’s not so bad for me. It shows the confidence of the club.
BILD: You talked with Roberto Di Matteo. Whether he is a coach in the summer is still an open question. A risk for you?
Marin: The decision hasn’t in fact.The results shows that he does make a good job. It would be great for me if he stays. He speaks German and knows my strengths.
BILD: And if there comes a new coach?
Marin: I must prove myself anyway. I don’t see a risk. Among the club managers were only positive things, they give me confidence. That is what counts.
BILD: Are you used in London on your right position unlike last in Bremen?
Marin: Chelsea usually plays a 4-1-4-1 system. I’m scheduled for the outside position in the midfield or as a hanging point.
BILD: How do you rate your time ar Werder?
Marin: The last year wasn’t optimal for me as for the club. We have played internationally previously and it was also important for my development. For this I’m grateful to the club. I would make the move to Werder again.
BILD: Improved your transfer your chance to play in the national team again?
Marin: He will not deteriorate. I hope I’ll be back in the national team. After my signature, I called Joachim Löw and told him about the transfer and he said. He knew them already by Chelsea coach Di Matteo. He told me that it is the right step.
BILD: In England they compare you with Messi ..
Marin: That’s nice but no real comparison because Messi is a unique player. It’s more about the species as a type of player. Overall, there were a lof of positive feedback.
BILD: A journalist of the ‘Independent’ wrote: “This is a ridiculous transfer.”
Marin: Unlike the rest of the english press. The journalists have reported positive.
