The coach of the Czech Republic: Sad...

I admit that it is very sad that in this match we did not reach at least partial success. This is what the coach of the Czech Republic, Ivan Hasek, said after his team's loss to Portugal, FOCUS reported.

The Czech Republic started its participation in the finals of the European Championship in Germany with a 1:2 loss to the favorite in the group Portugal. "The Sailors” reached full success after a 0:1 reversal.

"We were very close, but... – the specialist also said. – We made the task of the Portuguese quite difficult in this match. Let's not forget that they are one of the best teams in the world. It's incredible how dangerous Cristiano Ronaldo is in every game, despite his age. He once again showed his genius. Hats off to him. He is truly one of the best players in the history of football.

We are disappointed that we conceded a goal in stoppage time. Now we just have to forget what happened as quickly as possible. In four days we have a chance to get back into the game. We have a key match ahead of us and we must be as ready as possible for it.

On June 22, the Czech Republic meets the Georgia team.
