In Germany insist in that they do not understand the decision of the referee of the Spain-Germany during the played in which the balloon hit the hand of Marc Cucurella during the extra time of the meeting of quarter-finals of the Eurocopa 2024. The party finished with Spanish triumph (2-1) after the goal of Mikel Merino in the final stretch of party, although the decision of the main that day keeps on being very criticised.
In this opportunity has arrived a new 'rajada' by part of Toni Kroos, one of the players that found in the field that day and seemed to understand the decision. However, now it has spoken in his podcast 'Einfach badly Luppen', in which it commented his indignation when it saw the played once finalised the meeting. The already exjugador ensured that in the first moment did not see it clear, explaining that "I have contended me until today... I did not see it at all (the hand), was not in conditions to see that it treated of a relatively clear hand, by what was not annoying with the referee in this moment", explain.
Toni Kroos has clear that the referee had to have seen the played in the screen
"Of course, afterwards I loaned attention to the referee. He thought that not even it had to look it", analysed the germano with regard to the decision of the English Anthony Taylor on the played, although so much the UEFA like expert referees coincided that the British hit to the not signalling penalti, due to the fact that the hand found in natural position and with little enlargement of volume. "Only I angered me when I saw it afterwards, so... Leave it like this", said also Kroos.
"In the field trusted wrongly in him. I think that at least it would have to have it looked. But I think that the problem is that it knew that if it looked it, had to give it", ensured the exjugador of the Real Madrid. "The own referees do not know to the 100 percent which is the interpretation. At the end the only that could do was to accept it", affirmed the champion of the world in 2014.
A decision that finalised everything for Kroos
After the decision of the referee, Spain finish winning the party in the last three minutes of the meeting, finishing with the last hope of Kroos to raise his first Eurocopa.
