HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) - Germany will bid to extend a three-game winning run under new coach Hansi Flick against Romania and North Macedonia in World Cup qualifiers to show they are on the way back to being world class, national team director Oliver Bierhoff said on Wednesday.

The Germans, who suffered a first-round exit at the 2018 World Cup and were eliminated in the last 16 at this year's Euros, are in the driving seat in Group J on 15 points from six games, with Armenia second on 11 and Romania third with 10.
