BERLIN. — The German soccer side setting their sights on Euro 2016, 20 years after their last continental trophy, may be completely different from the one that won the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Although coach Joachim Loew has kept a core of the players who won the country’s fourth World Cup, he will need to mould them back into a tournament team if they are to knock holders Spain off the champions’ pedestal after eight years.
The manager will also need to quickly integrate a group of younger players, including the talented but uncapped Joshua Kimmich and Julian Weigl among others, to deliver a competitive unit.
“We are confident but not arrogant. We are strong but not invincible,” Loew said ahead of a training camp in Italy. — Reuters.
