Measured response

The 50-year-old played down the hype surrounding his young team following impressive wins against England and Argentina, stating that the German squad was keeping its feet firmly on the ground.
"The mood is good but not euphoric. The team had a measured response to the Argentina match and is now focused on the game against Spain," he said.
Spain emerged victorious the last time the two sides met in the Euro 2008 final. But Loew said there was no thirst for revenge among his players.
"There is no talk of revenge in our minds," the German coach said.

Could you please tell me what "measured response" means here?
