For Germany coach Joachim Loew, all of his country's previous failures to beatItaly at a major tournament will count for nothing when the two sides meet on Saturday in the quarterfinals of the European Championship.

"We have no Italy-trauma, because it's a different team now and there are always different factors at play," Loew said Tuesday at the team's tournament base at Evian-les-Bains.

"So I think nothing of things that are dragged in from the past. It's cold coffee. We prefer a fresh espresso. We have to make sure it tastes very good on Saturday."

Loew's biggest disappointment in almost 10 years in charge came in the semifinals four years ago, when Italyforward Mario Balotelli struck twice in Warsaw to knock his side out with a 2-1 defeat.

The loss still hangs over the Germany coach, though he said it also helped him lead the side to World Cup success in Brazil in 2014.

"As a coach I thought about it. What happened? What mistakes were made? And for me personally, this loss - which was painful, which hurt me very much - it helped me in 2014 with certain decisions at the tournament. You can always make a mistake as a player or a coach. It was a good lesson for me," Loew said.

Loew said he had devised a tactical plan to minimize Italy playmaker Andrea Pirlo's influence on the game four years ago.

"The plan didn't work out and I have to take responsibility for that . On this day we didn't bring the performance that was required. I think in hindsight this helped us in 2014," the 56-year-old coach said.

Loew was also present as assistant coach to Jurgen Klinsmann when Italy knocked Germany out of its home World Cup in 2006, after Fabio Grosso and Alessandro Del Piero scored in extra-time to end the German "summer fairy tale" in the semifinals.
