It is evident that the selector of this North American selection has angered the neighboring media to a good extent.
Canada’s soccer players lost in the first round against Belgium by a minimum score of 1:0.
Regardless of the defeat, Canadian coach John Herdman was very satisfied with the team’s performance, and he sent a strong message to them after the game. He announced that the poor game against Belgium was a thing of the past and immediately turned to the Croats, the next opponent of Borjan and his team.
– I just showed them the statistics. I told them that they belong here and that we are going to kill the Croats. That’s the simplest way. That’s our next mission – Herdman told his players.
This caused a lot of anger among the Croatian media, which can be seen on the front page of the Croatian portal 24sata.hr.
On the side, Herdman can be seen, completely unclothed, with maple leaves over his mouth and private parts.
This front page has attracted quite a lot of attention from many world media.
The statement went viral, and many interpreted it as an insult to the current vice-champion of the world.
– Excellent question. Yes, I said that. You say such things in moments of passion to inspire your team. When they asked me what I said in the circle among the players, I answered honestly.
His words, no doubt, caused a storm, but Herdman points out that it was not his intention to offend his upcoming opponent.
– There was no respect for the Croatian people and the Croatian national team. I understand well where we are. We are on the world stage, but we have reached the highest level and I am trying to convince the players to be fearless, to show everything they know.
The Canadian coach, however, remained consistent with the position he expressed after the loss to Belgium.
– I didn’t want to show disrespect to the Croatian team and the Croatian people, however, in the end that’s the mindset that Canada will have and must have if they want three points against one of the best teams in the world. We had that way of thinking against Belgium as well, and we must continue to do so. It is part of the new Canada.
