Germany's national team defender Emre Can says that in order for his country's national team to beat Chile tonight, it is necessary to neutralize the opponent's leader Alexis Sanchez.
Arsenal's star from London started the match against Cameroon only after a substitution, but it is believed that he will be fully recovered from his injury by the time of the match against the Germans and will be able to perform on the field from the first minutes.
A victory against the world champions would allow the strongest South American team to take a serious step towards the Confederations Cup semi-finals.
"I have faced Sanchez on the field," Can said. "He is a great player, one of the best in the Premier League. We need to focus all our attention on him. We must neutralize such players."
"However, I believe that we have fantastic footballers, and they have other fantastic footballers. This is a very important match and we must find an answer to it."
Although he acknowledges the opponents' strength, Can does not believe that the Chileans should be considered favorites. The match will take place tonight at 9 p.m. Lithuanian time.
