- He also defended Leroy Sané after criticism for failing to score against Curaçao, backing the Bayern Munich winger to respond with a strong performance.

- Confidence is high following the dramatic win over Ecuador and the team's recent defensive consistency.

What's at stake?
With both teams on three points after the opening round, the winner would take a major step toward the knockout stage and could even secure qualification depending on the result of Ecuador vs. Curaçao later in the day. Germany enter as favorites after their dominant opening display, but Ivory Coast arrive full of confidence following their disciplined victory over Ecuador and have made it clear they intend to challenge for first place in Group E rather than simply compete.
