“We are all excited. We won, there was an amazing atmosphere at the stadium, a lot of Czech fans came. They whipped us to great performance. We enjoy the procedure, “explained Tomáš Vaclík, laughing.
Already in the opening match of the Czech national team at the championship against Scotland, Vaclík enchanted. On a Sunday evening in Budapest, he first hesitated to run out twice. But then … During the first act, he caught Dumfries well. And in the 52nd minute came the most magnificent moment of a man whose Seville did not extend the contract after three years of excellent service, so the number one member of the national team was left without engagement …

Malen went around the border of Tomáš Kalas’ rules and rushed at Vaclík alone. “I tried to stand him as long as possible. As he ran, it flashed through my head that he was right-handed and would want to finish right, “Vaclík explained that he was able to keep a cool head even at a critical moment.
His thoughts were confirmed. “He looped to the right. I managed to put my hands there. I’m glad the action didn’t end with a goal, “he said. He knew very well that the match broke down subsequently.” Then it was a red card, the match turned to our side. “
Vaclík knew that as important as his intervention shortly after the break was managing the initial pressure. “The opponent was strong in the combination. We survived the standard, Tomáš Kalase saved me once, “Vaclík returned to the moment when he ran badly and the ball leading to the open goal was stopped by a Czech stopper.

“It was a good thing we didn’t collect. Then we started to play very well, under pressure, which did not smell the opponent. He didn’t get to his game, he couldn’t get the balls up on the hippos. The team did a great job. We advanced deservedly, “Vaclík mused.
He refused praise. He highlighted in particular the perfect team performance. “The whole team pulled on one rope, we fought for each other. There were a lot of slips even from attacking players. Hat down in front of the whole team. We eliminated the Dutch, who were favorites after the group. It was written that the Netherlands could win the whole championship. And they also claimed how happy they were to get us, “Vaclík smiled.
I think that we are able to annoy the Danes with the same team performance, believes Jaroslav Šilhavý

He enjoyed the process and did not want to deal with the trip to Baku, Azerbaijan, for the quarterfinals against Denmark. “We have four or five hours to fly. In addition, a time lag and tremendous heat. But travel will be the same for both teams, so there is no point in dealing with it. In addition, thanks to the leadership of the national team, we have a special on the road with great comfort, “said Vaclík, worried about the atmosphere.” The difference in the atmosphere at the stadium will be huge. like in Budapest, it would be a struggle for something else. “
