Before the Bundesliga match against Wolfsburg, Lemmer was interviewed by the Bundesliga official, during which he talked about his childhood idol.

You are a role model for many young football players, Bayern fans, and Austrian fans. Who was your role model when you were a child?

"I used to always tell myself that Gerrard was my role model, but I have many role models. I've watched so many games. Most importantly, no matter how old you are, never stop enjoying the fun of football, no matter where you play, how you play, or how old you are." 

"For me, it's always been like this. You can always learn from many different players. I have many role models, but if I had to choose one, it would be Gerrard."

What aspects of Gerrard's game do you pay particular attention to?

"When you're young, you only focus on goals because that's what football is all about. When someone scores a wonderful goal, it's the most wonderful thing. Now things are different. When playing football, you also pay attention to some positioning and some decision-making." 

"What do players do before making certain moves? You'll find that football is constantly evolving, which is why watching other games, watching our own games, and even watching my own games is so exciting and interesting, because there's always something to improve upon."

Your teammate Luis Diaz recently released a song. Have you heard it? 

"I've only heard of this song, never listened to it, but he should sing it, and I think I'll give it a listen."
