SOUNDBITE (German) Andre Schuerrle:

"Of course its no easy task. We know that not too long ago we have won the World Cup title and there was certainly a lot of talk and many (media) reports about us - and everything was great. And we are still a bit in this rush. Yeah, but we do not have a choice but tomorrow it starts again. It will be a very difficult game in my point of view. And we know what it is about in this game. We must switch the button. We must fully go into the one on one situations and we must be ready to run a lot again. And then I am sure that with all our qualities we will win this game"

SOUNDBITE (German) Andre Schuerrle:

"I actually think that this is a relatively difficult group. With the Scottish and the Irish we're having two teams who will go to the limits and fight for every centimeter of the pitch. And then there is Poland, our neighbor, and it's always been difficult against them. So, I think that these teams will be the strongest opponents in this group, but as I have already said before, with all our qualities our clear target is to win this group. And I am sure that we will reach our aim."
