Joachim Low, the coach of the German national team, urges his players to fulfill their potential and win trophies.
On Wednesday in Stuttgart, the Germans impressively defeated Brazil 3-2 in a friendly match, once again proving their strength.
"We have to work even harder than before," Low said. "We performed well in both the 2008 and 2010 tournaments. We have a great team with many top-class players. I am very happy to have such a huge selection."
"So, it's time to take the next step - to win trophies."
In the 2008 European Championship, Low's team only lost in the final to Spain, while in the 2010 World Cup they finished third.
In the qualifiers for the 2012 European Championship, Germany won all seven matches and topped Group A, beating their closest competitor Belgium by 10 points.
