GERMANY COACH JOACHIM Low has apologised for his ‘unconscious’ scratch-and-sniff moment.
Low was caught on camera during Germany’s opening Euro 2016 win against Ukraine putting his hand down the front of his trousers before raising it to his nose.
Veteran forward Lucas Podolski laughed off the incident on Tuesday, saying “I think 80% of you, and also me, sometimes scratch their balls, so it’s all good.”
But that didn’t stop a journalist from raising the issue with Low when he met the media ahead of tomorrow’s clash with Poland.
“I saw these images the next day,” he said.
“Of course you do something unconsciously now and then. I didn’t know that people paid so much attention to it.
“It happened. I’m sorry for it. You’re full of adrenaline, you’re concentrating, and things that happen now and then, you don’t perceive them very consciously.
“I’m trying to behave differently from now on.”
