The folder? We all know he can do better. I believe that he will fight for a place in the Leverkusen line-up and the new engagement will help him, said Šilhavý

The Czech national football team has completed the first part of the Nations League, during which it gained four points and came close to staying in the elite group. Coach Jaroslav Šilhavy spoke after the meeting about the team’s performance, Hložek and Zim.

The Czech national football team played four matches in the elite group of the Nations League, during which it gained four points. They first beat Switzerland at home and then drew unluckily with Spain.

Subsequent double matches with Portugal and Spain did not bring any points, while the Swiss defeated the Portuguese in the last match and everything is open.

“If we analyse the start of the group, it was basically successful, even though we lost twice away. We did not disgrace ourselves in the biggest competition, four times at home is great. The chances of survival in the first league are still there before the autumn finale. I believe that we will make the last step towards salvation,” said Jaroslav Šilhavý in an interview for Sport.

Matches against the best teams in Europe push the Czech players, David Zima, for example, defended Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the best players in the world, well.

“You didn’t have any problems with him. All four games he was great, and after the game David said that Ronaldo was frustrated with him. Poor Vasek Jemelka took it for him with a bruised ankle… A huge experience for all of us, which we will carry on,” added Šilhavý.

The national team reunion did not go well for Adam Hložek, who was widely criticized. What did the Czech coach say to the criticism? “A lot has been written about Adam from all sides. He is young, but after the season he had a deficit of strength. He definitely wanted to prove himself, he tried his best.

We all know he can do better. I believe he will fight for a place in the Leverkusen squad and the new engagement will help him,” he added. The next national team meeting is scheduled for the second half of September, when the Czech team will play Portugal at home and Switzerland away.
