Croatian Handball National Team coach Lino Cervar said today that the judges had damaged his team in the match against Germany at the World Cup and pointed out that the trial was scandalous.
Day after defeat from Germany (21:22) in Cologne and the forgiveness of Croatia from the semifinals of the World Handball Championship, the reaction to the Danish Hansen-Gailing match at that match is not calmed down.
Cervar was hardly defeated and Danish refereeing decisions, especially in the finals of the match.
– What encourages us is that we have received a lot of support, even the hosts said the trial was scandalous. We were injured by the judges. Even worse is that it is a pair that is the best in the world, and already three matches in this championship are facing Germany, which is very indicative – said Cervar, Hina reports.
– The amateurs can not teach us handball. Well, last night we noticed a detail from the sixth minute that the German player, taking the ball, made as many as seven steps, and that’s ridiculous. There are at least three controversial situations that have been recorded. Handball is about to fall in such things – added Croatian coach.
Croatia in the last round of Group I in Cologne will play against France tomorrow and will try to win at least a point in order to secure qualifying for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
The first seven teams from the World Cup will be placed in the qualifications for the Olympic Games, and there is a chance that this will be ensured by an eight-placed team if at the next European Championship in Austria, Norway and Sweden the European champion is one of those seven selections.
The French have already secured semifinals.
– We are in a complex situation, partly because of the defeat from Brazil … France is the world champion, and we are caught up, so there is no training today. They should win a point, but they are favorites, reinforced by Nikola Karabatic who means a lot to them, regardless of the fact that he is not yet in shape due to injury. They have a wider selection of players, unlike us, they are almost without any defects, and we are left to fight and repeat the party as well as against Germany – said Cervar.
