The German team has regrouped to have a new start in the new season. Manager Loew has also changed, he does not smoke anymore. According to Bild, Loew has been quit smoking for half a year, and espresso and cigars were two of Loew's favorite things. Loew loves to smoke cigars, something that German sports journalists and fans alike know. He rarely does this in public, mostly before and after the team's games, and he will hide behind the team bus to smoke one.
Only once, his smoking scenes were made public: at Euro 2008 against Portugal, loew had to stand outside the box and smoke due to the ban on smoking indoors, only to be broadcast live on television so that the audience could see it all. This spring, Loew decided to quit smoking. Mainly because he values his body very much, in order to stay healthy, he often plays football with friends at home in Freiburg, and regularly goes to the gym, smoking is obviously contrary to the concept of health.
