“It simply came to our notice then. And the Czechs, too, “Scots coach Steve Clarke reminded before the match that the constellation is different from the matches last September and October. He specifically added players who are ternem for him.

You are racists. Will the Czechs feel the hatred of the Scots?
“Not only are we stronger, we are also more experienced. Robertson played the Champions League, McTominay’s final of the European League. Great matches make footballers great players. And we are big players, “the home coach assured that this time it will not be just an episodic performance of Scots ending in a group.
In the championship general with the Netherlands, they proved that they are able to play with large teams. Twice they led over Oranje and only a minute before the end Depay deprived them of a win. And it was played in the Portuguese Algarve. No spectators, no advantage of the home environment from which the Scots will now benefit.

Only Scots, of course. For Czech fans, a trip to Glasgow would be heroic. As early as June 3, they would have to be on the scene of the match, where they would be thrown into ten days of isolation in order to go to football on June 14.
“If someone like that is found, they deserve metal,” Karel Poborský bowed in advance to the heroism of the supporters of the national team.
Our form is rising. We will be well prepared, says Vladimír Darida before the EURO start.

Especially when football enthusiasts from Bohemia could not have guessed what they would encounter at the stadium.
The extremely acute March incident from the eighth finals of the European League between the local Rangers and Slavia has not yet fallen into the dust of oblivion. Neither does the conflict between Kamara and Kudela.
And of course there will be not only fans of Celtic, Aberdeen, Hearts, but also Rangers in the auditorium.
“No worries. After all, these are national teams and the club’s passions are not transferred to it, “reassures Petr Čech, an expert on island conditions, that there will be no excesses or perhaps outbursts of passion or hatred towards his compatriots in Hampden Park.

“We have no reason to be hostile, and that is why I believe that everything will play fair on the field,” the coach of the Czech national team, Jaroslav Šilhavý, remains calm.

“Especially when this is the first match of both teams in the tournament. Important, quite possibly a turning point, because the best thing to start with is to win and bounce to the path to the elimination phase. We never played it, now we want to go there. But so are the Czechs, “radiated coach Steve Clark both at the Scots training base in Middlesbrough in the English North East and after arriving in Hampden Park determined to be the first coach to lead the national team there.

Now it’s up to Šilhavý to show up. And on his team, by itself.
“We are here to try to achieve a good result. In order to capitalize on the path we have taken in qualifying and in the League of Nations, which has been reflected in the results, “he knows that he has reached the peak of his coaching career so far.
And he believes that temporary.
“The first match in the group is of course very important and will tell a lot, but I don’t know if it is a key match. We will have two more matches with heavy opponents, who will be the favorites. But even in them, three points will be played and anything can happen. So it will definitely not be that in the event of a failure to meet Scotland, everything will end for us at the championship, that we will give up and go home with the fact that we will not do anything at the championship anyway, “recalls that the championship journey of his successful predecessors Uhrina and Bílka started infamously in England and Poland, and yet they went far.
What we kicked at that time, we dug gold, remembers the coach of European vice-champions Dušan Uhrin.
