NIZHNI NOVGOROD, July 2, 2018 (BSS/TASS) – Goalkeeper of the Danish national team Kasper Schmeichel praised the level of organization of the World Cup in Russia.

“They took care of us, they did everything to ensure that the tournament is held perfectly. There were no difficulties, the organization was fantastic,” he told reporters after the match in Nizhni Novgorod.

On Sunday, Croatia defeated on the penalty shootout the team from Denmark in Nizhny Novgorod. “I am deeply disappointed, but on the other hand I feel proud for our team and all those who made it possible for us to enter the field.

We had bad luck, it seems that the referee disliked us. We will remember these feelings and will approve ourselves next time,” the Danish goalkeeper said.

On July 7, Croatia is to meet Russia in the quarterfinals at the Fisht Stadium in the resort city of Sochi.
