Which players will get a chance to prove themselves against Wales? The former Lionesses and the overlooked strongman

The Czech national team lost to Sweden (0::1) in the semi-final match of the World Cup barrage in Qatar, so instead of Poland they will play a friendly match against Wales on Tuesday. Which players will get more playing space than before?

Ondřej Lingr

The name Ondřej Lingr will surprise no one. The native of Karviná is having a breakthrough season in a Slavia jersey and is the second top scorer in the Fortuna Liga with thirteen shots. Seven of his goals were decisive, which is an impressive statistic.

Lingro’s deployment in the starting line-up was already speculated in connection with the match in Sweden, with Jakub Jankto getting priority, while in Wales the hard-working Slavie all-rounder should start from the first minute.

Tomáš Petrášek

Long-overlooked Tomas Petrasek has been waiting for a proper opportunity for two years. Despite positive references from Poland about his performances in Rakow, he has only played in two national team matches so far, while the Czechs have been pushing the stopper for a long time.

At thirty years old, Petrasek is probably in the form of his life, not for nothing does he captain at club level, and Rakow are only a point away from first place. And his strengths? Leadership and strength in both personal and aerial duels.

Ladislav Krejci Jr

Ladislav Krejci Jr. had a big debut in the A-team along with Lingre on Tuesday. The current year probably cannot be described as his best, but his inclusion in the nomination makes sense in the long run.

It is logical to forge the path of youth in a preparatory match in which basically nothing is at stake and that is why Krejci should be included in the starting eleven.

However, the question arises if he shouldn’t start more at stopper, because in the midfield there is a well-functioning pair of Michal Sadílek, Tomáš Souček, who can operate together for another five years and it will be difficult to get into the lineup through one of them.
