“The Croatians were lucky to reach the quarterfinals of the 2022 World Cup. Japan was stronger” – Kechinov
The six-time champion of Russia in the Moscow “Spartak” Valery Kechinov believes that in the match of the 1/8 finals of the World Cup, the Japanese team looked stronger than the Croatian team, which was lucky to get into the quarterfinals.
The Croatians defeated the Japanese in a penalty shoot-out, the main time of the match ended with the score 1:1.
Croatians are lucky. Japan was stronger. Croatia had almost no chances. If you take the whole game, the Japanese looked a little more preferable. The Croatian goalkeeper played great in the penalty shootout, but it’s a lottery. I believe that Japan was preferable to the Croats, – quotes Kechinov “Championship”.
