By AFPMore by this AuthorSOCHILars Stindl is undoubtedly the winner in regards to Joachim Loew's decision to leave Germany's World Cup winning stars at home and blood fringe players at the Confederations Cup. Had Germany boss Loew decided to bring his full strength team to Russia, it is unlikely Stindl would be here. However, Stindl's chance came when Loew announced he was not taking his established stars to the Confed Cup. 'NO COMPLAINTS'Unlike Germany's motor-mouth star Thomas Mueller, another big name missing in Russia, Stindl is not a talker. If he keeps hitting the net, Stindl could land the trophy as the Confed Cups top-scorer, then finding himself heading back to Russia next year to defend the World Cup.
