On June 24, Beijing time, in a fierce confrontation in the group stage of the European Cup, Scotland lost to Hungary with 0-1 regret. After the match, Scotland's player McKenna was interviewed and he frankly expressed his disappointment after the team's loss and expressed his heartfelt thanks to the fans for their support.
McKenna said in the interview, "We're very disappointed. I can't put into words the atmosphere in the dressing room. We came here hoping to win and try and do something that no Scottish team has ever done before, but unfortunately we didn't succeed. It's an honor to be part of this great team, but it's really frustrating not to go further."
He went on to mention, "We have felt the support from all directions, not only from the fans inside the stadium, but also from countless fans outside the stadium, who were not even able to be in Germany in person. They have been steadfast in their support. We hope they have enjoyed the tournament, but it's a shame we couldn't get a better result for them. It may take a while to digest, but we are a team that can get back up from setbacks and look forward to more matches in the future."
McKenna's words revealed regret for the loss, but also showed hope and confidence for the future. Although Scotland could not go far in this Euro, the deep emotion between the team and the fans, as well as the positive attitude of the players towards the future, make people believe that they will have a better performance on the field in the future.
