BERLIN:  The new campus of German associations in Frankfurt seemed the perfect spot for Oliver Bierhoff to launch a statement, and the 54-year-old couldn't be more serious about it.

It seemed appropriate for the managing director of the German national team to convey a sense of optimism amid structures influenced by contemporary architecture, training, and medical facilities.

The former striker provided compelling arguments for why the 2014 global champion is willing to push the issue down the road in addition to describing winning the 2022 World Cup as a realistic ambition.

The former Milan attacker described past setbacks as an unstoppable force of desire to win the title in December as the best team in the entire globe.   In addition to what he dubbed the team's "anger in the stomach," Bierhoff also cited mentality and quality.

The terrible performance from Russia in 2018, where aspirations were dashed as early as the group stage, remains fresh in both the players' and the officials' minds. Before the nation's Nation League matchup against Hungary on Friday night in Leipzig, the official remarked, "Nobody wants to suffer something frustrating like that again."

Germany is prepared to do the task, he added. The 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar is a "great chance," according to Bierhoff, who stated that "winning the World Cup is our first goal." To win their Nations League group might serve as the catalyst for the nation's return to the top of the international rankings after 13 games without a loss under coach Hansi Flick.

Triplet winner in 2020 "The man taking a team to a huge title, sparked by a robust team spirit and determination," according to Flick, has demonstrated his outstanding talents. The German team will visit Oman on November 14 for last practise before playing a friendly match against the host nation.

Due to the short deadline, Bierhoff continued, "We view it as a must to become accustomed to the environment and time-zone as quickly as possible." Coach Flick will have a chance to make any last-minute modifications before the match against Oman, the underdog.  New strategies are necessary for the first World Cup held in the middle of a long season, said Bierhoff.

The German official disputed that the unorthodox processes added any additional strain. "There are no extra loads for players that I can observe. They would have enough of opportunities to play for their clubs if they didn't practise for the World Cup" he said. "We closely monitor how we handle stress." He can sense the players' excitement for the impending World Cup. They are anxious to put on a polished display
