FIFA World Cup: Who could be match-winners for Germany?
Reigning champions Germany are one of the favorites to win the World Cup come July 15 in Moscow. They are eyeing their record-equalling fifth World Cup trophy. Die Mannschaft have named a side filled with several talented play-makers. The Germans boast of such quality that Premier League 'Young Player of the Year' Leroy Sane was left out. Here are 3 potential match-winners for Germany.
Bayern Munich's Manuel Neuer
Manuel Neuer is a goal-keeper who commands respect by the world's best attackers. Any football enthusiast would be in awe of Manuel after watching his skills and calmness inside the six-yard box. The sweeper keeper is not only blessed with lighting fast reflexes but also has a powerful throw. This throw could reach the half-way line to start a quick counter-attack.
Bayern Munich's Joshua Kimmich
When Lahm retired from football, it was a massive blow to the German national team, but Joshua Kimmich has made that transition smooth. In the qualifiers, the 23-year-old scored two goals while providing an impressive nine assists. Kimmich also helped Low's side keep six clean sheets during the qualifying stages. This young player is expected to have a say this term.
Real Madrid's Toni Kroos
Real Madrid ace Toni Kroos is Germany's best player in this edition. In his position, he is one of the best in the world and already has 80 caps for Germany. He won three League titles and a Champions League crown with Bayern Munich. He moved to Real Madrid in 2014, where he has won a La Liga and three more Champions League titles.
