Manager Low backing Germany’s ‘cheeky boys’

Italy are tough semi-final opponents in Euro 2012

Published: 28/06/2012

GERMANY boss Joachim Low is counting on his cheeky boys to secure a place in the Euro 2012 final.

Despite being overwhelming favourites to set up a repeat of the 2008 final in Kiev on Sunday, Germany must overcome the weight of history.

In seven competitive meetings with Italy, they have yet to come out on top.

Low said: “It’s a confidence thing. We have to be cheeky, strong and brave.”
