Still, Darida doesn’t feel upset or perhaps bitter. And it doesn’t change the fact that it was he who led the national team through the pitfalls of the qualification and led him to the EURO.
“It doesn’t matter who has the captain’s armband on their sleeve. It will be essential for the manchaft to pull together, “recalls the basic premise that Šilhavý instilled in his charges immediately after coming to the national team.

Successfully, because it was the collective spirit and speech that led the team to the European Championship, which was, however, postponed until next year during the coronavirus pandemic. That’s why the national team didn’t meet for ten long months and didn’t play a single match. Only now is he entering the new year of the League of Nations. First on Friday in Bratislava against Slovakia, three days later in Olomouc against Scotland.
“A long break will not matter, it is usually common in the national team that we meet after such a time. There are quality players in the team, so a few training sessions are enough so that there can be no talk of any lack of harm, “Darida is sure that the forced break will not show up on the team.
Nor should the different phase of preparation, in which the individual players called by Šilhavý for the first matches of this year are, be affected. While the highest competition has already started in the country, legionnaires from the Bundesliga as well as from the Premier League or Serie A are still waiting for a sharp start.

“We had a relatively long holiday in Herta and then a long preparation, so it will not affect the physical condition. And we already have the preparatory matches against Ajax and Eindhoven behind us, so it shouldn’t be a problem even with play and game load, “he recalls what he and his Slovak club teammates Pekarík and Duda have behind him. He will probably meet them on Friday. in Bratislava…
“After all, we hung out a bit before leaving for the national team, and they made no secret of the fact that they wanted to repay us for the last two defeats of the League of Nations. For them as well as for us, it is still an exceptional match, because many of us know each other and we have often gone through or still play for the same clubs. Therefore, I would like me to be happier after returning to Hertha, “confides Darida, aware of how much competition there is in the Czech national team for places in the middle row. After all, he, Dočkal, Souček, but also King, Shoemaker, Kalvach …
“There are a lot of us middle-class players, but that’s just fine and it can only help. Just as the return of Bořek Dočkal will help us. He can give a pre-final and final pass, he will help a lot in combination, his contribution will certainly be great, “Darida welcomes the return of his predecessor as a captain, even if he deprives him of the tape.
