"We have big goals. Now it starts all over again. We're being hunted."

He also expressed his feelings towards captain Philipp Lahm's retirement this summer. He makes Philipp Lahm an inspiration to play.

"He's a great player and captain who will be missed. Luckily, there are many good, young players. Together, we must try to replace Philipp's great quality," he added.

On the other hand, Mario Gotze, another team player expresses his frustration over the media:

"I find it fascinating that absolute perfection is expected of me at all times," Gotze told Bild. "That's why I'm thinking twice about what I say and how I behave.

"Sometimes you say things when you are a bit too excited and euphoric and you don't think."

Nevertheless, he also talked about the upcoming season in Bundesliga for the Bayern Munich:

"I want to take more responsibility in our games, there is more in me. I know that I have already done well in many difficult situations despite my youth. In the big games I've shown my talents. I know that I have qualities and it can also show in difficult moments.

"Although I have scored a goal in the World Cup final, I am pleased but still excited for the start of the preparation and the new season."

According to a goal.com report:

"The Bavarians wrestled the domestic crown back from Borussia Dortmund as they completed the treble in the 2012-13 season before they retained the trophy in record-quick time in Pep Guardiola's first campaign in charge last term."
