German boss: He is a jewelGermany manager Joachim Loew thinks striker Lukas Podolski ‘Is a jewel’ following his performance for Germany against Slovakia this week.
Loew said: 'Lukas is a jewel,'
'It's enormous what he's accomplished already at the age of 21. It's the responsibility of all of us to take care of him.'
German Captain Michael Ballack added: 'A good player (Podolski) delivers answers to his critics on the pitch. He didn't let anyone disturb him and kept his nerve. But he must keep it up.'
