"I was paralysed by the news," said Low. "I didn't know Robert Enke only as a player, but also as a person. He gave the impression of being so mature and able to deal with setbacks. He was a personality and it was particularly bad not to be able to recognise that he had such problems." A 1-0 win over Russia in Moscow in October saw Germany book their ticket for South Africa with a game to spare and that game was a particular highlight of the last 12 months for Low.
"To win in Russia was enormously positive," he said in an interview broadcast on the German Football Association's website.
