"Disgrace" at the European Championship
Cucurella reacts to whistling from the Germans
Spain's Marc Cucurella was harshly booed by the German crowd every time he touched the ball in the European Championship semi-final against France (2:1) on Tuesday. Now the defender reacts to the unpleasant scenes.
The sting of the penalty that was not awarded after a handball by the defender in the European Championship quarter-final is still deep-seated in the German team. The result was a whistling match against Cucurella in the semi-final in Munich. "I don't care," he told ZDF after the 2:1 win against France.
The action of the German fans did not upset him. "We have to stay focused. When people talk about it, it's part of the game," said Cucurella.
Team-mate angry
His team-mate Dani Vivian finds it less funny. "No player deserves that. Coming to the stadium to boo a person is a disgrace," he grumbles.
Extra motivation
Coach Luis de la Fuente doesn't want the discussion to get too big. "He's a professional and knows how to deal with pressure," says De la Fuente about the man with the distinctive head of hair. The people who whistled did not represent the sport or Germany. The whistles also motivated Cucurella even more.
