Sami Khedira has stressed that Germany will treat San Marino with respect and are not talking about racking up a record score against the minnows.
Joachim Low's side top Group C in the UEFA section of World Cup qualifying, having won three from three so far without conceding a goal.
The reigning world champions beat San Marino 13-0 in 2006 and, though Khedira expects to win, he says complacency cannot be allowed to creep in.
"We are not going out there to try to set a new record," Khedira said at a news conference ahead of Friday's clash in Serravalle.
"It is clear that we want to win the game and we want to score a lot of goals. We will take this game serious, though. We respect San Marino.
"But we all know that we are the better team. We just want to put in a good performance, nothing more and nothing less.
"Football is fun when you are winning and that is what we will try to do."
"They all have a lot of quality and bring something new and fresh," he added.
"I am not their teacher, though. They have all had a great football education. I just want to lead the way on the pitch and show that we are working seriously. That is important.
"We are a very open team and they have quickly become part of that."
