Rene Adler admits he wants to play for Germany again after completing a summer transfer to Hamburg.
The former Leverkusen glovesman was expected to be his country s No.1 at the 2010 World Cup, but a string of injuries saw him lose his place in the side as his replacement Manuel Neuer went on to become Joachim Low s first choice between the sticks.
I have enough ambition to think about playing for Germany again. I have to be successful at Hamburg first, though. Everything else will come automatically from there on, Adler told the official Bundesliga website.
I feel as fit as a fiddle and I m in tip-top condition. I was at Leverkusen for 12 years, and had a good time.
But now I m at HSV and I feel like it s my first day of school. A new experience is waiting for me.
There is a new beginning to everything. I m a man who likes to think in the long term, rather than one who likes to change clubs every season. I came to Hamburg to be a part of a new team.
Hamburg kick off the 2012-13 Bundesliga season with a home match against Nurnberg on August 24.
