Joachim Low: 'I enjoy Germany pressure'

Joachim Low reveals that he relishes the pressure of managing Germany ahead of the World Cup in Brazil.

Joachim Low has revealed that he relishes the pressure that comes with managing Germany, but he believes that no amount of preparation will guarantee success at the World Cup.

The 54-year-old will take charge of Die Mannschaft for the fourth tournament in succession as they aim to win their first international trophy since 1996.

"The closer we get to a tournament, the calmer I become because I know that we've thought of everything, and I have faith in that. I'm now able to deal with high-pressure situations very well and I even enjoy them actually," Low told FIFA's official website.

"I'm looking forward to our warm-up games, to every training session and to everything Brazil has in store for us. Experiencing a World Cup in the world's most football-crazy country is as good as it gets, for the players, coaches and fans.

"There are several things you can plan in advance, such as fitness levels, movement and tactics, but you can only plan for success up to a certain point. In sporting terms it [their training camp] was very good but even the best training camp cannot guarantee success, let alone guarantee that you'll win the World Cup."

Germany begin their campaign against Portugal in Salvador on June 16.
