Germany's 2-1 defeat to Italy in
the Euro 2012 semi-final served as "an excellent lesson" for
Joachim Low, the world champions' coach said ahead of Saturday's
Euro 2016 quarter-final.
"The defeat against Italy four years ago was very useful for
this group. We realised our mistakes and the pain of that KO
helped me grow: it was an excellent lesson," he said.
Low said he was "not afraid" to face Italy again because he
knew his men would not make the same mistakes.
