"Of course as captain, I have a different role to the one I had in 2022 or 2018. It's true that the past two World Cups were disappointing for us, but that doesn't change anything for the next one. We're probably not one of the top favourites because we didn't deliver at the last tournament, but when the World Cup kicks off, then what happened in the past is not interesting anymore."
"It's important to start with a win in the first game. But we're still in March, that's irrelevant right now. Nevertheless we want to play a very good tournament."
The FIFA World Cup is set to begin in less than three months across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Managers are using the March international break to evaluate players for the tournament. Spain, France, Argentina, and England are favorites, while Germany seeks to regain its status after disappointing performances in previous World Cups. Joshua Kimmich, Germany's captain, acknowledges the team's past struggles but emphasizes the importance of focusing on the upcoming tournament and starting strong in their first match.
