I already told myself it wouldn’t fall there even if we played this game twice, Vydra said after the draw with Ukraine

Matěj Vydra failed to convert his chances against Belgium, but scored his team’s only goal against Ukraine, scoring in the last minute of stoppage time to secure a 1-1 draw. What did he say at the press conference?

The Czech football team completed their first meeting since the Euro with a draw against Ukraine. We saw only two Czech goals, one of which was scored by Matěj Vydra.

He equalized in the last minute and the Czech team did not score another defeat after Belgium. Vydra could have scored against Belgium, but he failed to score in his own goal.

“I didn’t believe that it would happen today because Standa (Tecl) had two chances. He did well, but once he hit the bar and the second time he was knocked down by a defender. I was thinking that maybe it won’t go in today, even if we play this game twice.

Thank God we at least tied it up at 1-1 on the last shot. I don’t think we played a bad game at all,” said Vydra at the press conference.

With Ukraine it was only a friendly match, but on the same day Wales drew with Estonia in the qualification and the chances of qualifying for the barrage increased again.

“Before the qualifiers, everyone was clearly favouring Belgium to come first. We’re going to split it with Wales for second place. It will be crucial. We have to have form in the clubs and then transfer it to the national team,” added the Czech striker.
