In the European preliminaries of the World Cup, Sane had 2 shots and 1 pass, helping Germany defeat Slovakia 6-0 at home and qualifying for the World Cup. German captain Kimmich accepted an interview with the media after the game and talked about Sane's performance.
"In my career, I have rarely seen a player with such strong physical fitness as Sane. He can run and rush, and he can play a game like this every three days. When he is mentally prepared, we have all seen his strength."
"His performance was impressive. Not only did he repay his efforts with two goals, but he also played very hard and was very active and diligent in counterattacks. When offensive players like him and Wirtz press and defend, the whole team will work together and we will be successful."
