Stanek will play against Portugal! We’ll want to make it as uncomfortable as possible and be as dangerous as possible, said Šilhavý

The Czech national football team will play its third match in the Nations League tonight. This time it will face a strong Portugal, with whom it leads its group, in its quest for invincibility. What did coach Jaroslav Šilhavý say at the press conference?

Jaroslav Šilhavy’s team pleased its fans, the performance is not bad at all and the win over Switzerland and the draw with Spain is a good signal for the next matches.

“I didn’t expect it, but it’s nice. But we don’t think about it completely and we want to concentrate on the match itself. If we are not concentrated 100%, the opponent can punish any mistake and hesitation right from the beginning,” said Šilhavy at the press conference before the match.

He does not intend to change the team for Portugal, but there will be one major change. Tomáš Vaclík will rest and give a chance to Jindřich Stanek, who had an excellent performance in Pilsen.

He will definitely catch on, Portugal has a team packed with stars and Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the best players in the world, should not be missing in the attack.

“It’s probably not even worth mentioning their players individually, except for Ronaldo, who of course stands out. But in general, they have great individual quality. We have a big job ahead of us from that point of view. We have to play as a team because they are able to go one-on-one without any problems.

We will want to make it as difficult as possible for them and at the same time be as dangerous as possible when we have the opportunity. For us, these matches are very instructive and the confrontation is very motivating for our players and it pushes them up, ” he added.

The match is being played today from 20:45. At the same time, Switzerland plays Spain at home and if they do not get points again, they will bring the Czechs closer to staying in the elite group.
