Head coach of the national team of Turkey Mircea Lucescu commented on the victory of his team over the national team of Croatia.

As part of the selection for the World Cup 2018, the Turks at home took the Croatian national team and won a minimal victory.

"After we won the leader of the group, we have significantly increased chances of reaching the World Cup. Especially considering how Ukraine played with Iceland.

We will carefully prepare for the match against Iceland. I think that in a duel with the Croats, we demonstrated a disciplined game and should also play against the Icelanders, "Lucescu said after the match.

Also, the Romanian specialist praised the main arbiter of the meeting of Hungarian Victor Kashshai, who in one of the episodes did not assign a penalty to the gate of Turkey for playing with his hand in his own penalty in the performance of one of the players.

"Viktor Kashshai - one of the best referees in modern football. I would like to see him judge our match against Ukraine. I always say what I think about referee matches. Here the referee correctly interpreted all the episodes.

Yes, I agree that he could have assigned a penalty to our goal, but this mistake was unintentional. Not that in Kharkov, "- quotes Lucescu Sporx. com.

Recall that after the match between Ukraine and Turkey, the former coach of the Donetsk Shakhtar accused the referees of the match in poor refereeing. It is also worth noting that it was Victor Kashshai who served the scandalous match between Ukraine and England at Euro 2012, when the net goal was not included in the gates of the British.
