“Of course, we don’t know exactly why Antonín Barák, for example, was not called, we can only speculate. The coach himself knows best. He has decided on a nomination, he believes in the called-up footballers and he is going to the market with this cadre,” Rada comments on the current events surrounding the Czech national team.
Barák has been missing from the national team since June, the original explanation was inappropriate behavior within the team. “The coach informed us that he is in contact with Barák, that a meeting is planned. Nothing more can be said about it at the moment,” said FAČR head Petr Fousek after the extraordinary executive committee in October, which confirmed Jaroslav Šilhavy and his implementation team in office for the conclusion of the qualification for EURO 2024.
The 28-year-old midfielder was not even considered for nomination in November. “The condition is persistent. The only thing that changes is that he was sick a month ago, now he is starting part of the match,” noted Šilhavý. “Since the phone call with Tonda before the last meeting, at which I was with the coach, there has been no further contact,” added national team manager Tomáš Pešír. Barák subsequently convened an online meeting for journalists, in which he outlined his point of view.
“I only catch what was in the media, that Barák took a helpful step, called the coach, but it didn’t move. Then there was the thing about the manager saying he was making fools of them or something. We don’t know where the truth is, it’s hard to judge,” says the Council.
He is said to have experienced similar things himself when he commanded the representative bench in 2008 and 2009. “Very delicate. We lost the match, now I don’t know who. The players were already in their clubs, the meeting was officially over, but they were caught somewhere having a beer. And they say it’s my fault. I don’t know who invented it, but a lot of people believed it,” he recalls.
Still, he says some public statements are unnecessary. Maybe the situation would escalate more. However, before the peak of the EURO qualification, when the national team plays on Friday in Poland and on Monday in Olomouc against Moldova, the team should get rid of problems as much as possible.
“You need to stay calm, pull yourself together and handle it. And I think we can handle the matches,” Rada appeals. However, he adds in one breath that Barák may be absent. “He’s definitely a quality player – and especially left-footed, of which there are never enough,” he explains.
The truth is that the workload in Fiorentina is not what the national team would imagine. “We don’t think he plays regularly. However, he scored a goal in the European Cups and was consistently in the national team. I don’t know what happened then. Since then, coach Šilhavy is here, he has to decide. He brings the skin to the market,” the Council points out again.
