First of all, I want to note that I did not share the hysteria that erupted after the original nomination was announced. Šilhavé’s explanation that Čvančar’s last two matches in the national team didn’t work out and he didn’t start in Mönchengladbach was 100% correct. A completely transparent step on the part of Šilhavy.
Čvančara does not have such a position in the national team that he would be called up more or less automatically (neglected midfielder Antonín Barák is a different story – he has 164 starts in the Italian league, 37 matches played in the national team and should be in the current national team despite the discrepancy with the implementation team).
Three days later, Čvančara appeared in Borussia’s starting line-up due to injuries to competitors, scoring a goal in a Bundesliga match against Wolfsburg (4:0). In less than 24 hours, Šilhavym was called…
“He responded to my words about sportsmanship in the best possible way when he scored a goal on Friday and played well. It would be great if he followed up this performance against Poland or Moldova,” said Šilhavý.
While the justification for Čvančar’s absence fits, the explanation for his additional nomination does not. It is, to put it mildly, awkward. At first glance, it looks as if Šilhavý and his colleagues were scared of negative reactions and used the situation to calm the atmosphere. Which is wrong. Either I believe that the player in question will rise despite a weaker period and I will call him up right away, or I don’t believe it and continue to stand my ground.
And above all: to change the decision in the case of an ordinary member of the national team on the basis of one scored goal and one promising performance in the last two months is at least strange.
In addition, when there are five more attackers in the selection for the matches in Poland and with Moldova. This number is already above normal. Of course, the national team coach is also entitled to such a move. However, it sounds strange, hasty, unprofessional.
