During the press conference held before the European Championship match with Poland, the head coach of the German team Joachim Low apologized for his behavior during the match with the Ukrainians.
Television cameras captured how the football specialist puts his hands into his pants, and later sniffs his armpits.
"When adrenaline kicks in, you do things without realizing it. Later I saw photos and in the future I will try to act differently. I apologize," Low said.
He also revealed that he will not risk the health of defender Mats Hummels if the player is not fully prepared for the match.
"The player trained twice with the team and on the day of the match we will decide on his performance."
