Dortmund's Marco Reus, Mueller, Julian Draxler and Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Guendogan seem like suitable candidates if Loew sticks to his traditional 4-2-3-1 system. More likely is that the Germans change to a 4-3-3 with two central midfielders in front of the back four or a 3-4-3 system.

In both systems the traditional playmaker is dispensable. Mueller said there were training sessions "in which an outnumbered defense had to face a majority of attackers and fight for their lives defending the goal."

In 2017 Germany won the World Cup in Brazil using a 4-3-3 system without a central conductor in midfield. Reus said he would love to play behind the attackers like Draxler does.

German players and staff members spent more time giving autographs and posing for photos with fans waiting in front of the team's hotel situated next to the famous "English Garden" in Munich. Mueller admitted that everyone involved with the team is committed to improving the team's general appearance and behavior. "We can now talk and talk and talk again, what counts is what we deliver on the pitch," Mueller said.
