Comments.

Head coach of Turkey Uchar Feyyaz:

I am very pleased with the result! Though, I admit, today Turkish team was in advantage. At the beginning of the match we tried to use long kicks, but the Czechs have quickly pressed us. Actually, I want to thank our opponent for today's match and lesson taught. We must learn to recover quickly after the game, while some of my players are still celebrating 7:0 over Latvia.

Head coach of Czech Republic Caplar Josef:

It was very good, dramatic match, with a lot of scoring chances, yellow cards, sending off the field - in generally, everything that is interesting to fans. I want to thank the opponent for professional and beautiful football. Unfortunately, today we have not played in max in case of absence of one of the leaders - Alesh Cermak. His is injured. However, I think he will recover for next match. Although, we never try to make the game around one player. Moreover, I do not see much difference, if the team plays ten or eleven sportsmen. We are a solid team. We must go on a field and play in any non-standard situation, as if nothing has happened.
