5 things that could help Germany retain the World Cup

#3 Form of Timo Werner

Werner has all the attributes to be a world-class player

Timo Werner has been in exceptional for club and country in the last two seasons. The RB Leipzig forward has scored 42 goals in two seasons for the German club, helping his team to a historic second-place finish in the 2016-17 season, and a sixth-place finish in the recently concluded season.

Werner is perhaps the biggest goal-scoring threat for the Germans in the World Cup as his pace and movement can upset the sternest of defences.

The 22-year-old has also had an impressive start to the national team, scoring 8 goals in 14 games! He will surely be the spearhead of the German attack and will look set to impress at the World Cup as a switch to Bayern Munich is on the horizon.
