Germany:

The main goal is as usual staying in the division, preferably by reaching the qualifying round and as we are host, we are hoping for a bit more.

In our group I expect Czech Republic to dominate, so Russia and Denmark are our main competition for the third position.

3.) Which players are the best (the greatest) and the best talents in your teams?

The best players in my opinion are Eugen Gottschlich and Rolf Broenner who both played in the previous U18 world cup and are considered teamleaders.
In the current wc squad also Henry Kovacs, Mattias Ganze and Louis Beadle stand out because of their qualities and CL and can reach the senior level in the national team when they are trained properly!

Of course Czech Republik, Slovakia and Hungary.
