Retired Germany Captain Phillip Lahm has hailed Germany’s head coach Joachim Low’s experience saying that it is one of his ingredients to success.
“His experience, first of all. He joined the coaching staff in 2004. He was assistant coach for two years and now he has been head coach for almost 12 years. He has an unbelievable amount of experience and he is able to handle the players very well. And he has an idea.” Lahm said
Lahm also added that Low has specialists around him – fitness coaches, doctors, physiotherapists – working for him and for the team which allows him to handle the intensity of training very well.
“There are different ways of motivating. You have coaches who use a very emotional platform to motivate their players. But there are also coaches, and Joachim Low is one of them, who use a functional approach. These coaches motivate in a such a way that their players know exactly what they have to do. He is a very good motivator before games. Maybe it is a bit deceptive, but he doesn’t use the most emotional team talks.” Lahm added.
