Germany Traumatised

Germany coach Joachim Loew said on Tuesday his players would remain affected "for a long time" by November's Paris terror attacks, adding that it would impact their preparations for Euro 2016 in France. "Each one of us carries with us the terrible events from Paris and in all likelihood will for a long time," Loew said in an interview with German public radio Bayerische Rundfunk. "And I believe we must speak about it with the team in March, to prepare us a little and to adjust because we're playing in Paris twice during the group stage and we must not bring those bad memories with us," he said. "It took me two or three days to get back to a 'normal life'," Loew told the Bavarian radio station.
