SOCHI, Russian Federation, Jun 18 – <\/i>World champions Germany will pit an inexperienced line-up against Australia in their Confederations Cup opener on Monday with striker Timo Werner anticipating a robust challenge from the Socceroos.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With an average age of just 24 years, four months, and a combined total of 179 international appearances, Germany have the most youthful squad of the eight Confed Cup teams.<\/p>\n

Only three of the squad — Arsenal’s Shkodran Mustafi, Matthias Ginter and Julian Draxler — lifted the World Cup in Brazil three years ago, but none of the trio played in the Rio de Janeiro final.<\/p>\n

With the likes of Thomas Mueller, Manuel Neuer, Mats Hummels and Jerome Boateng all left at home, Joshua Kimmich is the only Bayern Munich star in the Germany squad.<\/p>\n

On the back of his breakthrough season with RB Leipzig, striker Timo Werner, 21, expects a fiery start in Sochi for the untested, green Germans.<\/p>\n

“We don’t all know how fit we are after a long and hard season,” admitted Werner.<\/p>\n

“Now comes an unpleasant game in which the Australians will try, with their physiques and toughness, to take us on.<\/p>\n

“But we have a duty to win the three points. We need to get a quick goal and then exert some dominance.”<\/p>\n

A year out from the World Cup in Russia, there has never been a better time for the Socceroos to poach a first win over Germany at a major competition at the fourth attempt.<\/p>\n

The world champions have made no secret of the fact their goal is not to win the Confederations Cup, but to blood their next generation of stars.<\/p>\n

“The first priority is to develop the team, the second to win here,” said team manager Oliver Bierhoff bluntly.<\/p>\n

– Pressure on Draxler –<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the likes of key midfielders Mesut Ozil and Toni Kroos rested, the pressure falls on 23-year-old captain Draxler.<\/p>\n

With 30 caps, the Paris St-Germain star has the most experience and is expected to lead by example in the attacking midfield role.<\/p>\n

World-class goalkeeper Neuer is recovering from foot surgery, so Bayer Leverkusen’s shot-stopper Bernd Leno is tasked with keeping Australia’s attack at bay.<\/p>\n

Australia have held their heads high against Germany in their last two meetings in friendlies.<\/p>\n

The Socceroos shocked the below-strength Germans 2-1 in Moenchengladbach in 2011.<\/p>\n

Then two years ago, the 2015 Asian Cup champions drew 2-2 against Germany in Kaiserslautern.<\/p>\n

However, the Socceroos have arrived in Russia on the back of a narrow World Cup qualifying win over Saudi Arabia and a hammering by Brazil.<\/p>\n

Despite last Tuesday’s 4-0 drubbing by the Selecao in Melbourne, head coach Ange Postecoglou says the goal remains to bring the Confederations Cup home.<\/p>\n

Winger Robbie Kruse has overcome a knee knock suffered in the Brazil defeat and could face the Germans.<\/p>\n

After the opening game in Sochi, Cameroon and Chile then await Australia and Germany in Group B, with the top two sides progressing to the semi-finals.<\/p>\n

Die Mannschaft will wear black-arm bands in Sochi to pay their respects to former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who died on Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
