Hašek believes Czechs’ luck will turn in crucial Turkey clash

Czech national soccer team manager Ivan Hašek says he is confident his charges’ luck will change in their third and final group game, against Turkey on Wednesday. The Czechs have lost to Portugal and were held to a 1:1 draw by Georgia, leaving them with only one point so far.

Hašek, who is 60, said the German referee in Saturday’s clash with Georgia had generally ruled in the Georgians’ favour in 50-50 situations and had been overly quick to hand out yellow cards.

The coach also said the atmosphere at the championship in Germany – where many Czech fans have been attending games – could help Czechia get the necessary result against Turkey.
