A Germany team should not be afraid going into a tournament. History shows that we can raise the level of our game when it matters.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We said we would leave no stone unturned to get to Germany and now we are applying the same philosophy towards our tournament preparations.
A German team could be quite good. But maybe they are a little bit too convinced that they are the best.
I have always believed that one should not be scared of losing, I think that really is the key.
I am not an expert in this field but I do try to keep up to date with the Bundesliga. And I do follow World Cups and European Championships more closely.
When there's an important tournament going on, I try and stay in a bubble. It's easy that way because then you don't have to worry about anything else.
We are still confident as a team that we will make it through to the final Cup qualifying round.
Germany has become a country that many people abroad associate with hope.
My philosophy is to not be scared of anyone. If I play well, great; if I don't, I learn from the match and move on.
German football is like English football. The Germans and the English do not play like a Brazilian side. They have to improve, bring up their young players, who have character.
I don't fear anyone. We don't come to play in this sport.
