Could our football finally be returning to the limelight? For a long decade, only goalkeeper Petr Čech made a splash abroad, but the field players were no match for the competition. Now it seems that the Czech Republic has managed to cross the so-called tipping point.
The success of Prague’s Slavia, which can produce complex players with a winning mentality, is being transferred to the national team. The footballers bred by Jindřich Trpišovský’s team are closely watched by fans of West Ham and other English clubs.
But beware, the goal scorer Patrik Schick is a Sparta offspring, it should be noted that he is self-made! He never got a chance at Sparta and has worked his way up to the position of a great striker mainly through his work.
In order to make sure that all the credit does not go only to Slavia, we must openly say that Sparta’s stopper Ondřej Čelůstka also played the first two games brilliantly.
The Schick factor
Forward Patrik Schick is the top scorer of the tournament so far with 3 goals scored. Today he will be able to catch the star Cristiano Ronaldo, but he will have a very difficult time against Germany.
According to the prestigious WhoScored server, the 25-year-old Czech forward is the 3rd highest rated player at the Euros. He has an average rating of 8.13 from two matches. Against England, Schick could theoretically ask for an interesting transfer. The match at the hallowed Wembley will be watched by the biggest pundits.
“Patrik Schick (apart from the blood) oozes confidence and swagger. And by vehemently taking the penalty for himself and rushing off for treatment, he made it clear, in my opinion, that he has an individual goal in mind, apart from team success – to grab the golden boot for the top scorer in the European Championship. Hopefully he will succeed,” wrote Pavel Jahoda about the Czech sniper.
” I talked to him after both games, each time he talked about the team’s success. And every forward should have that hunger for goals, it’s his job.”
Schick has scored all 3 goals for our national team in two Euro games. Statistically, he is the Czech Republic’s top scorer at a major tournament since Milan Baros. He scored 5 goals at Euro 2004.
