Khedira has won 57 caps for Germany, and discussed the aims and ambitions for the national team.
“We’re preparing for the European Championships, and we can’t forget our value. We’re aware of our strengths, and we’ve shown that in the past.
“I don’t agree with some of those who chose to leave after the World Cup, we experienced players have to help the younger ones and the newcomers into the national team.
“We have to let them integrate calmly, so they feel at ease on and off the pitch.”
