Hassan:” I wanted to score a hattrick”

There were some problems yesterday with the penalties. Hassan wanted to score a hattrick for his new-born daughter, but the fans wanted Zitka. The whole stadium was chanting Zitka’s name. But Hassan was determined.


“I really wanted to score a hattrick for my daughter. When I saw Zitka standing next to me, I explained that and the goalkeeper was very understanding. I was not happy when I missed the penalty”, said Hassan.

The sympathetic goalkeeper Zitka didn’t make any problems after the game: “The fans were chanting my name. I looked at the staff and nobody protested. I allowed Hassan to take the penalty. When we got a 2nd penalty I took my chance and Hassan agreed. Too bad that I missed.”
