Schick returns to the national team after one year! I believe that we will manage the match against Portugal and hold on, he said

Patrik Schick returns to the national team after a year. The Bayer Leverkusen striker has one goal and that is to stay in the top group of the Nations League. What did he say at the press conference?

11. last October, Patrik Schick played his last match in the national team jersey. He hit the Belarusian net then, but could not help in the World Cup barrage.

Neither in the opening matches of the Nations League, where the Czechs will now fight to stay in the elite group. “Of course, I have a position in the team, but it’s always about performance on the pitch. And I will try to give the best possible performance,” Schick told a news conference.

The first match is scheduled for Saturday. The team of coach Jaroslav Šilhavy will play in Eden against the Portugal team, which should not miss Cristiano Ronaldo.

A win would help the Czechs to stay in third place with four points, but the last Swiss team is only one point behind the Portuguese.

However, it is their last game that may well decide the outcome. And Schick is the one everyone is counting on, although he is not in great shape, he has undeniable qualities.

“Of course, it’s a bonus when you feel a certain confidence from your teammates that they are counting on you, so it’s a good feeling. It’s a little bit of a boost. I’m confident that we will get through the Portugal game and hold on,” he added.
