Hložek on the sub or Sadílek in the base? Šilhavy’s assistant hinted at changes

The Czech national team was unable to beat Wales on Friday and the fight for second place became a bit more complicated. They have to score as many goals as possible against Belarus, so Jaroslav Šilhavý has to send an offensive lineup into the game. His assistant Jiří Chytrý revealed a little bit.

The Czechs started against Wales with the attacking trio of Hložek – Schick – Pešek, with Barák as a sub. The Czechs scored two goals, but one was scored by the Welsh goalkeeper himself.

Jaroslav Šilhavy was not satisfied with the service provided to Patrik Schick, who brought back excellent form from the Bundesliga. However, he remained almost unused in the Czech national team jersey.

Moreover, Barák will not be able to play because he was suspended for yellow cards. This frees up a spot under the spike, where Hložek might move from the edge. Another possible change is the deployment of 22-year-old Michal Sadilek.

“We are thinking about different options. For example, a central three with Hložek, because we know he can play there and how he will behave, we are also thinking about Sadilek,” said Šilhavy’s assistant Jiří Chytrý. “It may happen that the composition of the team will look different up front,” Šilhavý added.

The team may add Jan Kuchta, Matěj Vydra, Jaromír Zmrhal, Jan Kopic or possibly Tomáš Wiesner to the offensive line, but he is more likely to be used at fullback. In addition, David Pavelka and Pavel Bucha have joined the team.
