But I want to make it clear that I am not a dirty player," the 33-year-old told Sport Bild. "I sometimes lose my calm for a moment, but only when I notice that an opponent is deliberately trying to injure me. I don't have any problem with tackles or duels, but I react when I notice that someone is only trying to kick me out of the game."But I never have the intention to hurt anyone. Everything is forgotten again a minute later."</blockquote>
