Head coach Christian Wuck said he will take one match at a time and his side would first look to qualify for the knock-out stage. "Our first aim is to win against Costa Rica, Iran and Guinea and top the group in order to qualify for the knock-out round," stated Wuck.
"Players like Jann-Fiete Arp, Elias Abouchabaka and Dennis Jastrzembski are billed as the ones who will take up the mantle from illustrious names like Thomas Muller and Toni Kroos," added the former Bundesliga player.
