Germany boss Joachim Low has told his team they must stay fully focused for their upcoming Euro 2008 qualifiers.

Germany are currently level with Czech Republic and Republic of Ireland at the top of Group D, and will be expecting to take all six points against San Marino and Slovakia to round off the season.

However, Low wants to make sure his players are not taking anything for granted.

"We are not preparing ourselves for holidays, but for two important Euro 2008 qualifiers," he told the German press.

"We are demanding six points from our players and I will leave the team in no doubt about what is expected of them.

"I have spoken to each of the players on the phone over the last few days and am convinced that each of them is fully motivated."

Low's squad is at less than full strength for the games, with injuries to the likes of Michael Ballack, Lukas Podolski, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Tim Borowski.

However, he remains convinced he has enough players to get the job done.

"I want to see two excellent matches, even though we are missing several key players.

"If we win both games then we will not only take an important step towards the Euro 2008 finals, but can also look back on a very good season."
