Athletics legend Usain Bolt insists he is serious about realising his dream of becoming a top-class footballer after training with Borussia Dortmund.
"I really want to try and make it professionally, to play at a high level," the sprint superstar told reporters on Friday at the German league club.
"My goal is to make a top team and play in one of the top leagues in the world."
- 'Unfit' -
===========
"I've heard a lot about the fans here - that really was an experience."
"I was working hard out there, I wanted to play my best, move and give the guys options."
"He understands the game, what he's missing is the team work and how to move."
- Watching, learning -
======================
"This is what they do for a living and I am trying to get into this by watching and learning."
"If it gets to the time where I feel like I am at the level, then the coaches or the club will say 'alright, you know what? You can play at this level or that level'
"Until then, I am just going to working hard and pushing myself."
