The fights with the star Cristian Ronald in the jersey of Portugal, Xherdan Shaqiri from Switzerland or Sergio Busquets defending the colors of Spain will be an attraction for fans, which Šilhavý also thought of in the immediate evaluation of the lottery.

Do you like the composition of the League of Nations group, to which Portugal, Spain and Switzerland assigned the lot to the Czech team?
–
Paradoxically, I talked about these three teams because we haven’t played with them under my leadership yet. So it seemed to me that it could be an attractive opponent. And it happened. Hard to find a fateful opponent we could say is playable or lightweight.
–
In the upcoming League of Nations, we will come across Spain, Portugal and Switzerland in the basic group A2 ✅

With what ambitions will the Czech national football team enter the battles in the League of Nations starting next year in June?
–
We are at the highest level. Participation should bring us something. I believe that confrontation with the best will move us all forward. We are among the sixteen best teams in Europe, which is a great honor. I believe we will not just count.
–
Who is the group’s favorite for you?
–
Spain and Portugal. But we saw Switzerland play great at the European Championships and made it to the quarterfinals. And our team didn’t get lost at the championship either, so we won’t give the skin cheaply.
–
Do you like the names of your opponents because of Czech fans?
–
Definitely. It is a great prestige. Opponents are extremely attractive. I believe that fans will appreciate it.
–
Even before the outbreak of fighting in the League of Nations, your team is waiting for a World Cup playoff in March. Is it that the battle of Qatar 2022 now has absolute priority?
–
Yes. We are now fully concentrating on the barrage to manage it.
