After the final whistle, Austrian coach Martin Scherb had a long discussion with the main referee Verboomen from the Netherlands.
According to him, he was also responsible for Tuesday’s 0: 1 loss to Slovakia at the European Under-19 Championships.
“We were clearly better than the Slovaks, even with ten players. They had one good chance and scored a beautiful goal.
We had a duel to decide the match in the first half, we did not change our opportunities.
The scorer of the only goal Samuel Kopásek evaluated the duel against Austria
And we also need to talk about the referee. In such a fight, emotions are normal. He drew yellow cards too soon, he didn’t have the same meter for both teams. The red card changed everything, “he recalled the exclusion from the end of the first half.
Despite the difficult moments, he praised his opponent and wished him all the best at next year’s championship in Indonesia.
“Congratulations to Slovakia and I wish you good luck at the World Cup.
It prepared a great tournament, it was organized at the top level. Great backdrop, beautiful stadiums. Our national teams under the age of 19 do not play for such, “added Scherb.
