Will two Czechs be in the best Euro 2020 line-up?
If the final between England and Italy does not offer superhuman individual performances, according to the prestigious WhoScored server, two Czechs will be in the top eleven of the tournament. The line-up so far includes right-back Vladimir Coufal and striker Patrik Schick! Can they still lose their place?

If the two Czech representatives remain in this selection, it would be an incredible achievement.
It would also be a refutation of the words of some “experts” who have been complaining for a long time that we don’t have any difference players.
The Czech Republic would have the second largest representation in the best Euro 2020 squad

Only miraculous individual performances in the final match can knock the Czech pairing out of the lineup. Who else has a chance to make the lineup?
Vladimír Coufal could theoretically be threatened by Kayle Walker (6.83) or Giovanni Di Lorenzo (6.93). However, the right-back of the Czech selection and West Ham has a decent reserve and it’s really unlikely that one of this duo will reach a hugely high mark.
It’s the tournament’s top scorer Patrik Schick who should worry a little more. A quartet of players could attack in his place. England are likely to start with just one striker, Harry Kane, but Italy are using a trio of attacking players.
The closest to him are strikers Harry Kane (7.27) and Lorenzo Insigne (7.27). A goal in the final match will be of enormous value, which can shoot the average rating very high.
The remaining pair of Ciro Immobile (6.86) and Federico Chiesa (6.85) should not threaten the Czech forward. Unless they give a really superhuman performance and score two or more goals, which is extremely unlikely.
