It’s just a preparation, but don’t you take the duel in Leipzig as the culmination of two years of work?
For many of us, the match with Germany is very prestigious. So I place him at the level of two matches in the League of Nations. Every match, including Germany, is important to us. We are certainly not putting Germany on the other side. Not that we rank the League of Nations higher. On the other hand, I do not take Germany as the culmination of the journey. The nearest peak is the EURO.
Aren’t you sorry that your opponent won’t set a number of stars?
They play for the first place in the group of the League of Nations, there will be more points. Coach Löw has probably agreed with clubs like Bayern, Real, where players have a lot of matches, so he probably saves them. Nevertheless, Germany has a number of strong players who do not have such a name, but they are certainly of great quality. Even if they don’t play the biggest stars, the match will not be easy for us.

| Coronavir problems do not leave the representation. At Monday’s meeting, the defensive universal David Pavelka had a positive test, last week’s goalkeeper Filip Nguyen and even before the nomination of the three Slavists. Another case appeared directly in Germany. “During Tuesday’s testing, one more positive result of the covid-19 test was revealed to the players of the Czech national football team. The player did not feel well before training and remained in a hotel room in Leipzig for preventive reasons. Following the announcement of the results, he remained in isolation and will continue to follow the standard instructions of the relevant hygienic authorities. There are currently 24 players left in the team of coach Šilhavý, “said Michal Jurman, spokesman for the FACR. According to Czech Television, the second scorer is the best scorer of the Polish league, Tomáš Pekhart. |
Jiří Pavlenka from Bremen received permission from the club only for the match in Germany. So will he catch?
Yes, I can confirm that he will board. He only came for the first match, then he returns.

And your other intentions with the report?
In three matches during the event, all players will definitely get a chance, the load will be distributed. We have already made a decision. In Leipzig we can change six players, which we will probably exhaust. Such a match will tell us a lot of information about players who will be given a chance to present themselves against a tough opponent. We can touch them and we will have more information about them.
The list of absences on your side is also quite long.
Even before the nomination, a lot of boys were injured or sick again, which I’m sorry about. We play in Leipzig and Patrik Schick, for example, lost the match. But also the boys from Slavia, Pavel Kadeřábek, who plays the Bundesliga. Lots of guys are missing again, it’s not perfect. But today, every team is struggling with marodka.

Will you deal with a number of problems according to your ideas in the autumn?
We think we are going in the right direction. Even though we lost in Scotland, during the previous two events there were signs of quality football. We tried to play in combination, short passes, high presink, ball gains. I believe that we will gradually gain more self-confidence and we will improve even more.
