The power of standard situations. Could the Czech national team strike from them?

The Czech national team is missing their top scorer Patrik Schick, which is a big problem. How to score a goal for Sweden, which will be very important? The strength could be in standard situations.

If the attacking duo of Hložek – Kuchta come on, they will combine for 16 starts (12-4) and one goal. So the experience of scoring national team goals is not great, it rather comes from the central formation.

Tomas Soucek and Antonin Barak are the top scorers of the current squad, both with 8 goals. And this is an easy indication of where the Czech national team could strike.

They are very strong in standard situations. We don’t even need to talk about Soucek, who is one of the best headers in the Premier League and scores the vast majority of his goals with his head.

But Tomas Holes is also very dangerous in the penalty area. He may not have the height, but he has great rebounding power and, most importantly, choice of position. He often chooses the space at the back post where the ball will fall and he pushes it into the net with his bulldog nature. Arsenal or Netherlands defenders could tell a story.

The other stopper Jakub Brabec can also score from a corner, he scored against England in the national team, he also scored in the last game against Estonia. Antonín Barák also has height, Adam Hložka is no stranger to finishing with his head, Jan Kuchta has an amazing choice of space in the whitewash and can finish deflected balls.

Add Michal Sadílek or Jakub Jankt, who play standard situations perfectly with their poisonous left foot, and the Czech Republic’s biggest weapon is in the world. It will be necessary to create as many of these situations as possible and then strike from at least one of them.
