Joachim Low: “Spanish is not as strong”

The Italians are favorites of the finals of Euro-2012, said Chief Germany coach Joachim Löw, immediately after the second semifinal of the European Championship Italy-Germany (0: 2). 

“The Spaniards and Italians have already met in the group stage. The Italians fought then in the account, and attacked. Given the fact that Spanish is not as strong as in 2010, and they attack anyone serious not, for me personally, the Italians will be champions. With regard to us the disastrous match, this is largely my error in choosing players in the starting line-up, as well as in the choice of tactics. After the first goal, we become increasingly fallible and this led to the sad result. But I want to point out that we have a young team, which in the past 15 official games not lost a single match. We leave this tournament to come back stronger for the World Cup,” – said Low.
