I’ll keep my mind on not committing an unnecessary foul. I believe I will play the barrage, says Soucek

The Czech national team hosts Estonia in the last qualifying match for the World Cup. The Czech Republic won the first match 6:2, will something similar happen now? Tomáš Souček spoke about it at the press conference.
The last match of the World Cup qualification cycle is a clash with Estonia, the penultimate team in Group E.
The last match was better for the selection of coach Jaroslav Šilhavy, thanks to the hat trick of Tomáš Souček, he won 6:2. If they want to be seeded, they must now win by at least six goals, but there are many aspects and the chances of being seeded are low.
But the Czech Republic can score goals, which was evident against Kuwait, who put in a poor performance and left Olomouc with a seven-goal haul, with the dreaded goal scorer Soucek scoring once.
“I’m not here to score goals. People got used to my goals, of course I’m happy when I can help the team. When it’s there, it’s good. But for me, the main part is first of all defending, secondly correcting the players and being their leader, so that they feel better on the pitch. It’s much more than that,” Soucek said at the press conference.
Soucek, Michal Sadilek and David Zima are facing a card penalty for the first barrage match. The public was so worried about whether the players knew about it, lest there be a repeat of the Euros, where the coaching staff was unaware that Jan Bořil would not be able to play in the eighth round.
“We all know about it, it would be an unpleasant thing. If you think about it too much, you might just get it. So I want to play my game, my style. But, of course, I will have in my mind not to make a completely unnecessary foul on a clear yellow card, which can happen, for example, on a quick counter-attack. I believe I will play the barrage,” he added.
