The success of the whole team significantly depends on the performance of Tomáš Souček. What exactly is the Hammer’s midfielder as a national team captain? “The captain’s performances generally move any team up at least one level. And that’s exactly what Tomáš does. His presence on the field helps everyone. He has built a lot of respect for his performances,” praises his teammate Matěj Vydra.
“But experienced players help me a lot with everything. I would say that we form a healthy and friendly core in the cabin, which is naturally transferred to the lawn. With our experience we try to help the younger ones, which certainly contributes to overall overall well-being.” Tomáš Souček, a midfielder of West Ham United, describes the relationship dynamics within the Czech national team.

However, the mutual duel in Cardiff, which the Czechs lost 0-1 after the goal of Daniel James, also brought one unsportsmanlike theme. It followed a few days after the incident in the Rangers-Slavia match, when there was a controversy between the home-made Glen Kamara and the glory Ondřej Kúdela. Kamara called Kúdela a racist, who allegedly called him a “fuck … monkey”, and after the match he punched Kúdela in the face after the match.
However, when the Czech national team played in Cardiff in March, the whole topic was still very hot and intense. So many associated the whole case with the moment when the Welsh leader Gareth Bale hit Kudela with his elbow in the face at the end of the interstate match. “I do not recognize this style. We do not intend to repay any elbows. The biggest victory and retribution is to show them on the field with a hard but fair game and just destroy them football. I believe that it will be a great match,” looks forward Tomáš Souček.

It is Souček who has had a number of national team events, at which, as a Slavist, he regularly meets Spartans, the biggest rivals, with whom he must establish constructive cooperation during the event. According to Souček, it is natural in football when opponents do not give anything away during the Prague “S” derby, but as soon as they come to represent, the rivalry must go away.
“In football, it is common for you to be the main enemies with some players and then at the same time as teammates. At dinner we will discuss this, sometimes we get a little fun for fun, but the next day it is usually not solved. We pull for one. rope, “says Tomáš Souček.
