Germany boss Low 'shaken and shocked’ after Paris shootings

Joachim Low says he is “shaken and shocked” following the shootings in Paris during Germany’s friendly with France on Friday evening.

At least 40 people have been killed in several locations across the French capital, while it is reported that between 60 and 100 people have been taken hostage at the Bataclan concert venue in the 11th arrondissement.

An explosion could also be heard outside of the Stade de France while the game was being played. AFP are reporting that three people were killed in that incident.


"We’re all shaken and shocked. For me personally the game and the sport loses importance. We're at a loss," Low told ARD.

Germany’s team manager Oliver Bierhoff said: “There was a big uncertainty, a big fear and a strange mood in the locker room. 

“It was noticeable, how shocked the players were. They picked up their phones right away to inform themselves or call home.”
