Jogi Löw gestures

Jogi Löw obviously had to explain himself to the press after the Croatia game. Apart from promising a different German side against Austria, and stating the obvious – “All the things we did well against Poland were conspicuous by their absence against Croatia.” – he also provided a more in depth analysis with the above set of gestures. Anyone able to decipher them?

Hey, “Other Jan” can you please help me with this, why does Lehmann always chew on something? Does he have a chewing-gum in his mouth at every game?
I didn’t know one could do that.

Hmm.. maybe he’s saying:
1) Clearly we’ve lost two points…
2)…no make that 3 points in the last game
3)but it’s going to be okay
4)we’ve got a strong and resilient team.

I think Lehmann uses the gum to help him concentrate and maintain focus. He might be superstitious you never know. Or maybe it’s just an oral fixation. Whatever works for him.

Jan, I would go with Chitra’s explanation.

1 & 3:

First, you seek an Austrian anus.

2 & 4:

Then, you ram your German fist into it.

LMAO I love captions.

One time we exited early from the Euros, two times we exited early from the Euros, No more early exits we will fight for the title. Germany 2-0 Austria.
