Leroy Sane, Serge Nabrid must shine this time. Thomas Müller is a veteran of this battlefield, and if given the opportunity, he should also show the impression of experience. And if Jamal Musiala wastes all of his talent, the Germans will benefit. In defense, Antonio Rudiger, Nicolas Suled should be the watchmen. Yashua Kimmich, Ikai Gundogan will shoulder the responsibility of the build-up.
