Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal dominated the Euro! What did they dominate at the championship?
The Czech national team and their colleagues from West Ham London gave their absolute best on the pitch. This is proven by the statistical indicator of kilometres run.
The Czech national team and their colleagues from West Ham London gave their absolute best on the pitch. This is proven by the statistical indicator of kilometres run. In terms of minutes played, they are the best in the entire European Championship!
Tomas Soucek is the second best runner of the tournament after the quarter-finals. Only Spain’s Pedri, who played two overtimes against Croatia and Switzerland, has run more.
In total, he played about 60 minutes more than the Czech midfielder. In any case, the only 18-year-old Barcelona gem deserves a lot of praise, having run a respectable 61.5 km so far.
The vice-captain of the Czech team has run 57.8 km. But in the selection of players with a net time of 5 matches (450 minutes), he is clearly the best of all, having averaged 11.56 km per match.
With a net time of 5 games, Soucek is followed by his national teammate and teammate from West Ham. Right back Vladimir Coufal had an excellent tournament in all respects and still got a good run in. He was only 2 km behind Soucek.
Coufal’s running numbers are really incredible for a right-back! The maximum speed developed by the man of steel was 31.7 km/h. In 5 games he ran 55.8 km, which is an average of 11.16 km per game.
The Czech back got at least a small patch of praise from the prestigious Squawka Football after the cruel quarterfinal loss.
Indeed, analysts noted that Coufal created the most scoring opportunities (3) against Denmark of any player who faced the Northerners at the tournament. He also had the most touches on the ball (84) and produced an assist.
