On Wednesday, he broke his contract at Borussia Dortmund.
He was often lonely, reported Schürrle, just as “the Depths deeper and deeper and the highlights less and less.” The industry was not allowed to show feelings. “You must always play a certain role in order to survive in the Business,” he said, “Otherwise, you lose your Job and get a new more.”

Then, have him this idea always accompanies. “But, this social expectation has been pressed, you can’t stop until mid-thirty actually.” The priorities shifted permanently, as he got to know in 2016, his now wife, Anna. Since April of 2019, he is the father.
