FT.com: Stay next to the football enough time to explore this great country?

FT.com: What would you give him for some advice along the way? Are there any special features on the field in Down Under?

Thomas Broich: The guys are playing pretty hard. Rugby is a popular sport in Australia, and the football is because sometimes a bit of breathed. But Del Piero has played for years on a world class level and is also a tough defender abkönnen.

Thomas Broich: Nice if it were, of course, but I've never been here quite honestly set goals. Somehow this is all just happened. I have found an extremely cool environment, an extremely cool troupe that just works hard and then I watch what comes out at the end. We will leave it in the future.

FT.com: German footballers do not change every day to the other end of the world. As 2010 got in touch to Australia?

Thomas Broich: First, I have traveled the country before six years and times. I thought it was pretty cool, relaxed and beautiful. From then on, I had it in mind to leave here any time finish my career. The contact came about Dario Vidosic, with whom I have played together in Nuremberg, as it no longer ran with me. His father, who is now my coach was at the time assistant coach in Brisbane.

FT.com: Are retrospect satisfied with their career in Germany, because it has ultimately led you down under, or would you perceive some chance like this again?

Thomas Broich: I miss nothing. I do not think I would have liked 300 Bundesliga games. But if I went back to the beginning of my career would be, I would hope, of course, and also assume that I would not do it quite so stupid.

FT.com: Would you provoke a return to a German club?

Thomas Broich: No, not at all. I did over the summer once flirted with it, to return to Europe, but not necessarily in the Bundesliga. Since I'm back here in Australia, but I have found again, what kind of a dream life.

Thomas Broich: I am always willing to stay here and we have already made ​​good conversation. But the matter does not hurry.

Yea I read that about 30 minutes ago. Broich is such a top bloke.

Mitch Nicols and Erik Paartalu at least are worthy of longer contracts.

I'm sure it's not through the lack of Roar trying however.
