Munich's "Bayern" attacking midfielder Mario Gotze revealed his future plans.
The 22-year-old hero of the World Cup final would like to try his luck in another country.
"Playing outside of Germany can help shape a personality, there are plenty of good examples," the German said.
"For now, I haven't seriously thought about it, because I am very happy representing 'Bayern' and playing in my homeland.
"I want to play sports for as long as possible, for example, M. Klose is already 36 years old and he still plays," the midfielder assured.
"If I still have 14 seasons ahead of me, we have to wait and see how my whole career unfolds.
Football makes people happy, it's not a matter of life or death. Meanwhile, doctors and nurses save lives and do much more than footballers. They are my true heroes," Gotze told the press.
