Despite the unfortunate situation, which may have cost the Czech Republic the victory over a strong Croatia, Coufal received one of the best ratings from the prestigious WhoScored server. He was even the best back of the match according to the server’s indicators.
He outperformed Jan Bořil, but also Croatian central defenders Vrsaljk and Gvardiola. The 19-year-old Gvardiol is playing in great form at the Euro and he is certainly one of the players who has a great career ahead of him.
The West Ham right-back was rated 7.05 by WhoScored and had 83 touches on the ball during the game, the most ever of any player on the pitch.
Coufal notched up two key passes, 4 centres and his pass success rate was 71.7%. Defensively, he won 6 personal duels.
How did the 28-year-old Czech defender perceive and evaluate the crucial match against Croatia?
“A good point, well deserved. There were some chances. If I hadn’t slipped badly, hadn’t turned badly, I would have managed to unblock Perisic. We stuck to the plan, we tried to keep the ball a lot. In the end, we played it out, but maybe we could have done a bit more,” he told ČT Sport.
