Is the revival of Czech football beginning? Patrik Schick is in the running to be the Euro’s top scorer!

The Czech forward is proving that he is in his prime and that he has long harbored a lot of potential. Unfortunately, this has often been stifled by minor injuries. Patrik Schick has prepared incredibly well for the Euros and now he can take on the top players for the title of top scorer!

The chances of winning the Golden Boot are not slim at all! Patrick Schick is currently tied for second place in the scorers’ table. The same number of goals (4) were scored by Karim Benzema and Emil Forsberg. But both are out of the tournament.

Only the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo is ahead of the Czech striker with 5 goals, but Portugal also finished the tournament and will not add any more goals.

The basic prerequisite for the success of the 25-year-old Bayer Leverkusen player is that the whole team should do well. Of course, there is a direct proportionality, the more minutes he gets, the more chances that he could contribute another goal(s) again.

But the shooting competition is not completely dead yet. Romelu Lukaku is still a goal machine at the Euros (3 goals), Raheem Sterling is also scoring goals (3 goals).

Even if Schick’s sensational run through the Euros were to end, he would have made Czech football history with 4 goals.

With 15 national team shots, Schick is the 7th top scorer in the history of the Czech Republic. In terms of his goal scoring power (goals/game), he is even the second best behind Jan Koller (0.59 goals/game) – Schick (0.5 goals/game).

Patrik Schick’s goals at Euro 2020

Finally, let’s recap all his goals so far at the European Championship. One headed goal, one goal from an incredible distance, one goal from a penalty and one shot as a cold-blooded killer.

His rampage so far has been taken by the Scots, Croatians and Dutch. Let’s hope he’ll get us a shot against the Danes.
