Werner might have just discovered the best position to play in

After two matches, the 22-year-old has yet to find the net. Before the competition began, the striker was tipped to have a huge impact on the result of Germany's matches. His prolific goalscoring capability in Bundesliga seemed to have dwindled in this World Cup.

In the horrifying defeat to Mexico, Werner had so little impact on the game that he was almost ''invisible''. Throughout the match, he had just 29 touches on the ball and was present largely only in the beginning stages of the match. The change came when Low decided to ask Werner to play as a left-winger halfway through the match against Sweden.

At once, the RB Leipzig player seemed to find his best playing position alongside his team-mates. He became far more effective and involved in Germany's victory over Sweden and troubled the defenders a lot more. One of the takeaways for Low is certainly discovering Werner's possible best-playing position. If he could replicate what he has done in the earlier match in tonight's game, South Korea could be in for lots of trouble and have a hard time.
