Germany will play Sweden in their second Group F game in Sochi on Saturday after losing 1-0 to Mexico in their first World Cup match on Sunday.

"These players - they have already won so much in their careers - they do not want to retire here in the group stage. That would also be a personal defeat for them. Young players like me need to be guided by the leaders. Everyone knows what it's all about and they're ready - to put it bluntly - to fight for their lives on Saturday," 22-year-old Werner told journalists.
