“I’m not anxious. Both players are capable to always bring about positive actions in a game”, he said.
The reigning world champions opened their Euro 2016 Group C campaign with a 2-0 victory over Ukraine in Lille on Sunday night.

Paris: Germany coach Joachim Loew lambasted his flat-footed attackers after they were held 0-0 by Poland in their Euro 2016 Group C clash.
Poland are arguably a more risky opponent than the Ukrainians, with a familiar face in Germany, the Bundesliga’s top scorer Robert Lewandowski, leading their attack. “However, neither day was a long session so it will be important to see how the last training goes this evening”, Loew said Wednesday.
Footage of Loew during Sunday’s 2-0 win over Ukraine shows the 56-year-old coach place his hand down the front of his trousers before repeating the process with his hand down the back.
Germany face an emotional return to the Stade de France just seven months after being caught up in last November’s terror attacks in Paris.
Low’s side were held to a goalless draw by Poland, though their opening-game win over Ukraine has them sitting top of the pile and nearly certain to progress.
“We are very safe here, we have never had the feeling there would be any menace, but we have to think about the victims and their families”.
“We didn’t concede too many counter-attacks which the Polish are normally strong at”.
