Hummels talks about leaving Dortmund: Someone wants to take revenge on me, and let the news of not renewing the contract be leaked to the media first

May 23: 36-year-old German central defender Hummels will officially retire after the final round of Serie A this Sunday. Recently, German TV station ZDF played the related documentary "Hummels-LaFinale", talking about the players' situation in Rome and the behind-the-scenes story of leaving Dortmund.

In the interview in the film, Hummels first talked about gaining weight after coming to Italy: "At the beginning, I gained a little faster. Once, when I stood on a scale, I saw my weight appearing in triple digits for the second time in my life. At that time, I thought, 'This won't work, I have to get back to shape.'"

Speaking of leaving Dortmund last summer and not getting a new contract, Hummels said: "Under certain conditions, I am willing to continue to stay in Dortmund. It's no secret. I always hope that things can change. "

host Schmidt asked: "As an old player, how did you get informed of this news?"

In response, Hummels said: "Things should not be handled like this. Usually, such news should be conveyed in private conversations. But someone wants to retaliate through the media, and leaked the news to the media before I learned the news that I would not renew the contract."

According to Biography, the person who wanted to retaliate against Hummels was not one of the current senior officials of Dortmund.

When asked if Dortmund would retire if he won the Champions League last season, Hummels said: "It's very likely...I asked my son if he should retire, and if he said 'I hope you're in Munich now' I'll retire, but he wants me to play for another year."

Speaking of his experience after coming to Rome, Hummels said: "If Yuric hadn't been fired (mid-November), I might have left here in the next week. I would rather not perform well than not play at all, and it was awful to be regarded as insignificant by Yuric, which was frustrating that I had to leave at the time, otherwise I might have It will collapse. "

Hummels first revealed her new girlfriend Nicola (26 years old) at the Golden Globes Awards. The player said: "If something is important to one of us, the other party naturally wants to be with her and support her. We have discussed before that although we will not discuss this matter publicly, we will appear together when there are similar important occasions. For me, this may be more natural, but she needs to be mentally prepared to deal with various situations that may occur. However, once she stepped on the red carpet, all the tension disappeared. Since it has been public, it has become much easier."
