Having already qualified for the Round of 32 at the ongoing FIFA World Cup, Germany midfielder Nadiem Amiri warned Ecuador that the four-time world champions will not be taking their foot off the gas when the two Group E sides clash here on Thursday.
"We have to stay in the flow because every win is good for us. It is an extremely important match for us with a lot of fans coming from Germany so we want to win it 100 per cent and we will go in with maximum intensity," said Amiri, who notched an assist in their 2-1 win over Ivory Coast.
Germany will be without first-choice centre-back Nico Schlotterbeck, who has been ruled out of the tournament due to an ankle ligament injury. While it also remains to be seen whether coach Julian Nagelsmann will start Deniz Undav after the striker's back-to-back super-sub appearances - he scored a brace to help Die Mannschaft beat Ivory Coast and notched two goals and an assist in the 7-1 rout of Curacao.
Meanwhile, the match is vitally important for Ecuador if they want to progress to the knockout stages after losing 0-1 to Ivory Coast and being held to a 0-0 draw by Curacao.
