“I am in the care of doctors and physiotherapists. We are trying to do everything we can to join the Netherlands on Sunday evening. I believe that everything will turn out well, “said midfielder Vladimír Darida ambiguously.

His reluctance to reach into a well-established group is well known. He must certainly regret the defeated defender Jan Bořil. And now he should do without a key midfielder? “It would be very painful to lose the captain. But of course we will respect his state of health, “said Šilhavý.

Darida is the most experienced Czech national team member with seventy-five national team starts. He injured himself during Friday’s practice. However, the management of the national team did not specify the nature of the problem or its severity. “I don’t want to speculate on how realistic the hope for the start in Sunday’s duel is,” said a guy belonging to Herta Berlin.
The squint didn’t want to suggest for any compensation what kind of compensation he would lean towards in the middle of the field. Of course, it is possible to include the defensive pair Holeš-Souček, supplemented by Barák, which is a model he tested during the qualification for the World Cup against Belgium, when the Czech team shone.
Due to the plane’s problems, the footballers will not be heading to Budapest for the round of 16 until the early evening
“It was a very successful match for us. If we approach it, we can succeed against the Netherlands. I can imagine the group with Tonda Barák. It is definitely one of the alternatives, “Šilhavý admitted from the Hungarian capital.
The national team was originally scheduled to move to Budapest on Saturday at 10.30 am with the air special of the chartered company, and official training was planned in the Puskás arena in the afternoon. However, one of the plane’s staff apparently inflated the slide at the door of the plane by mistake, so the move to the venue of Sunday’s round of 16 had to be postponed.
I experienced flight delays, relocations as well, even cancellations due to the corona virus. But not to fly due to an accidentally inflated slide, this is the first time ???????????????? #ceskarepre #EURO #SlidingJumpingCastles pic.twitter.com/ZTaE9eNROX

“It was not the most pleasant. but we responded well and quickly. We managed the training in Prague, we managed to have a short rest, and then we moved on the second plane, “said Darida, when he and his entire expedition landed safely with a spare flight in Budapest.
“It simply came to our notice then. However, we did what we could. And from the evening we could concentrate on the match in Budapest, “Šilhavý mused, while his captain regretted that his teammates could not try the lawn in Puskás arena.” Everyone would like to touch the surface. But we have an experienced team, so I believe that we can deal with it, “Darida said.

The stadium in the Hungarian capital will be sold out. And according to information from UEFA, there will be at least 7,000 Czech fans in the stands. “Football is played for people. When the scenery is and will be stormy, it’s just fine. I believe that it will affect us positively, “Šilhavý explained.
“Already in those previous matches, although it was not sold out, the atmosphere was good and we got used to the fact that we practically do not hear each other on the lawn. It will be great to play in such a scenery, “Darida looked forward to Sunday’s battle with the Netherlands, which will break out in Budapest at 6 p.m.
