Czech Republic Football Team’s Loss to Albania: Lackluster Performance, Potential Ranking Drop, and Coach Concerns

“Ours deservedly lost, I didn’t like it as a team. If I take it according to the posts individually, the Albanians are at a better level, for the whole match we did not create a goal chance from the game. The question is whether this is not the reality of Czech football. We keep thinking that we should blow up Albania, but that is no longer the case. This time is over, we are 37th in the FIFA rankings and we can go even lower,” said Poborský.

The performance was really not good, we are looking in vain for good individual performances that would stand out from the lackluster performance that the team around captain Tomáš Souček showed in Tirana.

“We showed very little. Maybe a good start, but the bet on David Jurásek and Mojmír Chytil didn’t pay off for Jard. Jurassic very weak in all aspects. He picked up a strict second yellow card and a regulation goal, but was probably startled by the chance in the first minute. I don’t know, maybe he didn’t even hit the ball,” coach and former youth representative Martin Hyský stated in ČT.

The match was greatly influenced by the very controversial second yellow card for Chytil, whose end, according to the judges, was a deliberate handball and the Slavia striker had to take a shower, and Albania’s goal in the 9th minute.

“The beginning of the match is all about heads, we were not prepared and it was already going,” Poborský pointed out. Goalkeeper Jiří Pavlenka probably won’t miss Asani’s first shot.

“Pavlenka did not hold the team with the first goal. He may have had a defender in front of him, but his reaction was terribly late. Both wing stoppers Ladislav Krejčí and Tomáš Holeš played very poorly. They weren’t brave, they didn’t outnumber and we got rid of the ball easily,” commented Hyský.

The name of head coach Jaroslav Šilhavý will surely be mentioned again. “The situation is not working for him. If I overdo it, God knows if he will still come to the Czech Republic. But other players just aren’t here. We can talk about whether Petr or Pavel should play, but if we look at the wider squad of the national team, I don’t see any other players. It is sad. But I don’t want to defend Jarda, he has to do that himself. Let’s be humble,” lamented Poborský.

The Czech Republic made progress from the group considerably more complicated, but progress is still in their hands. The condition is to beat the Faroe Islands on Sunday in Pilsen. “It’s one thing to fire a coach, but it’s another thing to replace someone. At first glance, I don’t see anyone else. I certainly wouldn’t do that in front of the Faery, it would just make a mess. It’s up to the leadership of FAČR,” he added.
