Montenegro played one of the worst games in history, losing 4:0 to Croatia in Zagreb, but the impression remains that German referee Felix Zweiger "knocked out" the already exhausted and unrecognizable "falcons".
The referee from Berlin showed a second yellow card to young Andrija Bulatović in the 42nd minute, after which the only question was how many goals Montenegro would score to return from "Maksimir".
"There's not much to talk about the match, Croatia was better, they probably would have won this match, but there's no need to give them a red card," Stefan Savić told Radio Television of Montenegro and added:
"We play football maybe a little longer than he referees and we all know that you can't give two yellow cards for starts like that."
DON'T MISS IT
By the end of the match, Montenegro was without several players due to injuries, including captain Stevan Jovetić.
"After that card, it would have been better if he had played the end of the match, at least the guys from our team wouldn't have gotten injured. I'm just sorry about the injuries, because the match didn't make any sense after that referee's decision," Savić believes.
Although Montenegro practically did not cross the center of the stadium in Maksimir Park, there were also positive things.
"We have to continue and take the maximum number of points, as much as possible. We also need to look at something positive. I would single out Milan Roganović, who made his debut against the Czech Republic, he played at a high level. We gained another young player who is the future of the national team. There aren't many positive things, but that's one," one of the leaders of our national team is clear.
He also had the right message for Bulatović.
"We need to support him, we shouldn't blame him for everything, because as I said - it can never be a red card. All we have to do is hold our heads high, get as many points as possible by the end, try to save face and get as many young players as possible," concluded Savić.
