HAMBURG, Germany - Reaction after Turkey beat the Czech Republic 2-1 in their Euro 2024 Group F match on Wednesday to reach the last 16.
Czech captain Tomas Soucek: "It is a disappointment because we all wanted to advance. We were set up for it. I thought that was enough... and it is a disappointment because we didn't make it.
"I said before the match that I hope it will not happen (the sending-off). It is the third match.... But of course there are many situations that we should have handled as a team."
Turkey defender Mert Muldur: "We all fought very well together. Normally, we had a hard time against such teams in the past… I think we have improved now."
Turkey winger Baris Alper Yilmaz: "I want to be as useful to the team as possible. It was a really difficult match. We made it to the last 16, we are very happy."
"When we talked with our friends before the camp, our only goal was to get out of the group. We kept our promise and left the group. Now we will proceed step by step." REUTERS
