in Euro 2008 and finished third in the World Cup.
The Bayern Munich defender stated that the team has a lot more experience and admitted that the players are determined to win the competition. He admitted that Germany is a top side and is definitely capable of achieving big this
summer. He also urged the team against complacency, claiming that winning the group will not be a walk in the park.
“Every player who was with us in 2010 now has more experience and they are more confident. We have a top team; we can achieve anything, that's for sure.  But nothing is automatic and we must collect points from the very first game,”
he was quoted as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, the skipper added that he will play on the left side of defence if the manager asks him to. The defender added that he can do anything for the team and stated that the boss has something in his mind for the tournament.
“I know that I can play at a high level on both sides. I'm going to play on the left [against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Israel-c2925 on Thursday], which was decided by the coach. It is a big advantage that I can play on both sides and I'm very relaxed about this
debate,” he concluded.
