Tijekom intoniranja himne Darijo Srna nije mogao suspregnuti suze.
Kapetana hrvatske nogometne reprezentacije svladale su emocije. Njegov otac Uzeir preminuo je za vrijeme utakmice Hrvatska - Turska što je Darijo saznao poslije tog dvoboja i odmah otišao u Metković kako bi prisustvovao očevom sprovodu.
Po povratku u Francusku Srna je dobio puno pitanja na press konferenciji te je poručio kako će unatoč teškim trenucima ipak zaigrati jer je takva bila želja njegova oca.
Inače, priču o životnom putu Uzeira Srne i djetinjstvu bez ubijene majke za vrijeme Drugog svjetskog rata još su prije 10-ak godina objavili Guardian i Telegraph.
"Ovo je vrlo emotivno", napisao je na svom Twitteru legendarni Gary Lineker.
Srnine suze prokomentirali su i BBC, Eurosport, AS te brojni drugi mediji diljem Europe.
"Nevjerojatna hrabrost i predanost", slažu se i mediji i navijači.
