"Having won the third place in the World Cup, the coach of the German national team, Jurgen Klinsmann, did not spare kind words for his team's players after Saturday's match.
"It's unbelievable what this team has achieved," - said the German after the 3-1 victory against Portugal.
"Everyone worked so hard that I can't find the words to describe it," - said the determined coach.
When asked if he will continue to coach the German national team, J. Klinsmann replied: "So much has happened in the past few weeks that I simply didn't have time to consider everything. Give me a few days."
His colleague, assistant coach Joachim Loew, reiterated his feelings.
"It's impossible to describe the feeling that comes when you see people celebrating our victory," - said the German. - "It's hard to imagine a bigger celebration, even if we had won the World Cup."
"We are very happy with what we have achieved, despite all the skeptical predictions," - said the assistant coach.
"It was very, very enjoyable to win 3-1. It's a great end to a great World Cup," - said the German national team defender Christoph Metzelder. - "In the past few days, the fans helped us the most. We did not expect such a great reception here in Stuttgart. They really helped us in this match."
