BERLIN, March 21 -- Manchester City forward Leroy Sane is turning to Germany's ray of hope in the attempt of the struggling 2017 World Champion to return to a top international level.

The 23-year-old's story with the national team couldn't be more curious as one of the country's most promising attacking talents got ruled out of the squad shortly before the 2018 World Cup start due to a lack of attitude.

One year later, Sane not only proved his outstanding quality with enchanting fast runs, but also became the decisive factor in calming down the mounting disappointment among supporters.

While the home team was booed off the pitch at half time in their friendly against Serbia (1-1) in Wolfsburg, the Premier League top act addressed his coaches demands to deliver increasing speed and encouraging dribbling's in the second half.

Facing the crucial 2020 Euro qualifier this Sunday in Amsterdam against the Netherlands, the draw against Serbia provided some conclusions after a disastrous 2018 containing Germany's early group exit at the World Cup in Russia and the team's demotion in the Nations League.

While the newly formed defense needs to improve, Sane gave the all-clear for the Netherlands clash after he was substituted against Serbia in the dying minutes, almost suffering an injury from a rude foul by Milan Pavkov who saw a straight red card. "Everything ok with my ankle, it could have been much worse," Sane commented.
