Ex-Bayern star angry
Anger at the anthem: “Not a good image of Turkey”
Georgia team boss Willy Sagnol criticized the opposing fans after the 3:1 defeat against Turkey. They had whistled loudly during the Georgian national anthem: "That didn't reflect well on Turkey."
In a thrilling European Championship duel, Georgia kept up with the Turks for a long time, but were ultimately beaten 3:1. However, it was not only the bitter defeat that annoyed Willy Sagnol, but also the whistling of the Turkish fans during the Georgian national anthem. "You shouldn't do that. You should always respect your opponent," said the former Bayern star.
Pride despite defeat
It's also "never nice when you lose, but I think my team can be proud of this performance and of having put Georgian soccer in such a positive light. I think we had just as many chances as they did," said Sagnol.
On Saturday, his team will face the Czech Republic - a win is urgently needed if they want to have a say in the fight for promotion.
