'He has personality and stands by his opinion' - Low hails Wagner after Germany hat-trick

The striker scored his first goals for the national team as they beat San Marino 7-0, boosting the coach's confidence ahead of the Confederations Cup

Joachim Low hailed Sandro Wagner and his young Germany team as he claimed a 7-0 win over San Marino was important for their confidence ahead of the Confederations Cup.

Wagner hit a hat-trick - his first goals for Germany - while Julian Draxler, Amin Younes, Shkodran Mustafi and Julian Brandt also got on the scoresheet in Nuremberg.

The world champions moved a step closer to the World Cup finals, but they must first tackle the Confederations Cup in Russia in the coming weeks, with Low boosted by this performance.
