“I’m glad the mood is good. It was won, which is good, but the joy can’t last long, it’s going in quick succession. We have to prepare for another opponent, it is absorbed, we have to watch it already on Sunday. I would be more careful. The boys take the match as a holiday. With strong opponents, they will grow, confrontation with them will show where we are still lagging behind, “says the coach.

The Czechs had never defeated Spain in a separate era. Out of five mutual matches, they have a balance of one draw and four defeats. They can be even more motivated in Eden.
