Xinhua: Germany is regarded as a football country. With that reputation comes the thought of a country with a never ending source of talented players?


Loew: Germany is a football country with many great players. But there are not so many as some think - we talk about a world class level not only about a level of a solid and good league player. To develop it takes time and experience. As we could see in our U-21 team Under Armour Shoes Sale , they are not all on a level everybody thought they would be. Important is for them to analyze what still has to be done to make further improvements.


Xinhua: Mr. Loew let us talk about your personal post World Cup time. Did you ever consider resigning after such a long energy sapping time?


Loew: It never entered my mind, seriously. It was more like right away to think about how we manage to win the next World Cup as well. What is needed to be able to conquer the next high mountain - meaning it is hard to win the World Cup but it is much harder to win it twice - it is a new challenge. To win it again is a magical thought - and requires a lot of thinking and work. I'm still ambitious and feel full of energy.


Xinhua: Did anything change in your life?


Loew: Not much, I don't want that anyway. Normality is what I crave and what I am looking for. Go to a cafe, get on the bike, play football with old friends. That's what I did.


Xinhua: We heard you are a great fan of classic cars?


Loew: (laughing) ""Right and you know I bought one some years ago. An old Mercedes 190 made in 1959. In general Under Armour Mens Shoes , I prefer old cars rather than new ones. You cruise at a comfortable speed - that' s what I like. I am not a racing driver"".


Xinhua: How do you remember the World Cup - by looking at your medal?


Loew: It is cinema in my head. Every now and then I see some pictures pop up in my head. I don't sit down and watch videos of us lifting the cup. I have even given away my medal to my godchild like I did after 2010. I am lousy at keeping things like that - to be honest I would not be able to find it among my stuff"".


Xinhua: So the medal is gone?


Loew: Well I know where it is, in safe hands. But don't talk to my wife about it. She is not happy that I am not a tidy person in some respects. But it leaves space for me to think about our next projects, 2016 in France and 2018 in Russia. Let's see what happens with a possible next medal.

CANBERRA, June 12 (Xinhua) -- While the eyes of millions of Americans were focused on the bustling, metropolitan city of Cleveland this week Under Armour Womens Shoes , people of a small Australian town are also glued to their television screens.


Matthew Dellavedova, the current darling of American sport and the man whose exploits in the NBA playoffs have had basketball commentators in a swoon, hails from Maryborough in country Victoria.


The gritty point guard has been instrumental in an undermanned Cleveland's effort to hold the Championship series at 2 wins each; even superstar teammate LeBron James this week described him as a man of "steel".


Thrust into the starting role due to an injury to laconic Cavaliers's guard Kyrie Irving, the rugged, bearded Australian has performed well above his level against league MVP Stephen Curry and helped the Cavs shut down the Golden State Warriors' record-breaking offense in the second and third matches of the series.


Dellavedova Under Armour Scorpio Shoes , on the biggest stage in his life, has been thrilling crowds three times the size of his hometown, where he played Australian football and basketball as a junior.


His parents, although described by Dellavedova as fine amateur athletes in their day, never rose to the lofty heights at which their son now resides.


But it could also seem that no one from the small town has cemented "Delly" as Maryborough's biggest international export.


As a result Under Armour Curry Shoes , the town has been struck down with "Delly fever" and Maryborough District Advertiser editor Kirsty Johnston told Xinhua on Friday that it was inescapable.


"It's quite tense during games, and if you speak to people just after games, they've all watched it," she said. "You'd be surprised how many are talking about it, a lot of people you might not expect."


Last week Under Armour Basketball Shoes , before the start of the finals, the paper even changed its colors to the wine and gold of the Cleveland Cavaliers, something Dellavedova praised from his Instagram.

"We've been following his journey since he left for America, but there's a lot more chatter around now that there's so much more attention given to him," she said.


Dellavedova was born and raised in Maryborough. His parents Under Armour Running Shoes , grandparents and other family still live in the small town.


"When he comes back to Australia he always comes home, not only to see everyone but he runs a junior clinic here, so he spends a lot of time practicing at the stadium."


Dellavedova's scrappy style of play came under fire on the road to the finals, but it endeared him to the city of Cleveland, as well as fans in Australia.


To them Under Armour Shoes , he just plays hard ball. Johnston said the Australian's tenacity is a reflection of his demeanor - he is hard-working and determined to succeed, no matter the level at which he plays.


"There's no criticism from Maryborough and there have only been positive the way he plays," she said. "No one is surprised by the way he is playing and throwing himself 100 percent into each match."


Through his tough-as-nails approach, Dellavedova's cult status in Cleveland rose. It's the body on the line that Cleveland fans have craved. It's a passion the city has needed for the last 45 years since its inception, for the Cavs have never won an NBA Championship.
