Václav Černý in the national team. Is he in the best shape of all players?

The Czech national team gathered before the UEFA Nations League. Coach Šilhavy’s selection will face some tough opponents. First, Portugal at home and then the strong Swiss. Twenty-four-year-old winger Václav Černý is also on the roster. Will it be him who will pull the national team?

Patrik Schick is returning to the national team after a long time, but his Leverkusen team has not been doing well lately and the Czech striker has not yet followed up his last exceptional scoring season. Both Adam Hložek and Antonín Barák have changed clubs and both are still acclimatising. Although Barák has already made one appearance for Fiorentina, his team is not showing convincing performances either.

And we could go on like this… Soucek, Coufal and Vaclik are collecting defeats with their clubs. So there is one name that could surprise with his performances.

Václav Černý, who is having a very good year in the Dutch Eredivisie. He has scored four goals in seven league games for Twente. In addition, he added one goal in the European Conference League against Fiorentina.

After prolonged health problems, this season is a satisfying one for Václav Černý. “This is exactly what I wanted to get back to normal. The more games, the better for me. I’ve lost enough in my career,” Cerny said in an interview with the national team.

For Twente, Cerny is getting more and more space. In the last game against Heerenveen he played almost the whole game. He only came on as a substitute in the 89th minute. “It suits me very well to have such a busy schedule. And I’m doing everything without any relief,” he said, not hiding his excitement about the workload.

And what will be important for the success of the Czech national team in the next match against Portugal? “Calmness on the ball, finishing the breakout situations into chances. Appreciate the ball when we have it…”

It is the breakaway situations that could suit Cerny. He is a fast player who is strong on the dribble and has been crowning everything with goals lately. Will he be the decisive Czech footballer?
