Podolski: Loew’s ‘scratch and sniff’ video not an issue
Print Edition
EMBARRASSING footage of Germany coach Joachim Loew scratching around inside the front and back of his trousers during its 2-0 Euro 2016 win over Ukraine has caused a buzz back home but for winger Lukas Podolski it is not an issue.
Loew was watching the Group C game from the bench on Sunday when he shoved his hand into the front of his trousers and then smelled it. He did the same at the back, before sniffing his hand again, triggering a variety of reactions from fans in Germany with the video widely shared on social media.
“About 80 percent of you here have at some point scratched your balls,” Podolski told reporters yesterday, amid loud laughter and applause. “It is not an issue in the team.”
This is not the first time Loew, famous for his dress sense and style, has been caught on camera in a compromising position, with the German having repeatedly been filmed sticking his finger up his nose and then putting it in his mouth.
World champion Germany plays Poland on Thursday before taking on Northern Ireland.
