Soucek and Coufal robbed of a point? Schick below expectations and Sadilek man of the match
Czech national players working abroad gained more minutes and experience. National captain Tomáš Souček and his teammate Vladimír Coufal were looking for a point against the famous Manchester United.
Czech national players working abroad gained more minutes and experience. National captain Tomáš Souček and his teammate Vladimír Coufal were looking for a point against the famous Manchester United. Patrik Schick and Leverkusen declassed the poor Augsburg and Michal Sadilek decided the match against Willem II with a goal.
West Ham did not burn out against Manchester United. He was close to getting a point for a 0:0 draw, but Marcus Rashford decided the Red Devils’ win at Old Trafford in injury time. The goal was possibly preceded by an offside pass, see for yourself!
Anyway, the goal was conceded and Manchster United, thanks to the win, jumped to 4th place in the Premier League just ahead of the Hammers. The fight for the Top 4 is going to be very tough for the Hammers.
Both Czech national team players got the same rating of 6.58 from the prestigious WhoScored server. Anyway, Vladimír Coufal was withdrawn in the 70th minute of the game and Ryan Fredericks came on in his place.
A lot of fans on Twitter were not happy with the Czech midfielder’s performance, but Fredericks was no better and on the contrary. Coufal had only 54% passing success rate during the game, scored 4 recoveries and fouled twice.
Tomas Soucek won 4 header duels (the third highest number on the pitch), created one key pass and got one finish. Defensively, he intercepted three passes from the opponent and cleared the ball three times from the danger area.
Patrik Schick’s performance
Patrik Schick, like Vladimir Coufal, was substituted in the 70th minute. Here it was probably not because of a downright bad performance, but the match was simply decided, so the coach decided to spare the Czech forward and give other players a chance.
In the 70th minute Leverkusen were already leading 4:1. Patrik Schick did not score in the match, but despite having only 22 touches with the ball, he scored four times.
Schick received a 6.73 rating from WhoScored for his performance. His Bayer Leverkusen won 5-1 and Werkself are third in the Bundesliga table.
Man of the Match Michal Sadilek
Michal Sadilek was the most successful individually. He scored his first goal for Twente and it was still the shot that decided the slim 1-0 win over Willem II.
Sadilek received a nice rating of 8.58 from the prestigious server and was selected as man of the match. The 22 year old Czech international had the highest pass success rate of all players who played more than 50 minutes of the match, almost 91%.
For his small stature, he even won the most header duels on the pitch (7), and he is only 169 cm tall! As far as defensive work is concerned, he won 4 balls for Twente, twice in a foot to foot defensive duel and twice intercepting the opponent’s pass.
