The midfielder notes the high quality of the players of the Ukrainian national team, which he scored in the September match
Captain Czech national team Tomas Soucek commented on the upcoming match against Ukraine in the fourth round League of Nations.
“I’m very pleased with how the team is playing, and I hope that we will maintain this kind of play. After difficult matches, the physical condition is imperfect. But winning fights improves the psychological state, which also affects the physical state. I hope we’ll be in optimal shape for the next game.”
“4-2-3-1? I can’t say how we will play against Ukraine. We can change this style, this system. We know how to play differently.”
“Of course, we know about the quality of the players of the Ukrainian national team, how they play in their clubs. They confirmed this with their performance in Prague. We understand that it will be quite difficult to repeat the result of the match in Prague, but we hope that our motivation will help us. The position in the standings will depend on the result of this game.”
Let us remember that in September the Czech Republic hosted Ukraine in Prague and won with a score of 3:2. 29-year-old Soucek then played the entire match, scoring the winning goal from the penalty spot in the second half. Tomas is an irreplaceable player in the national team and has been wearing the captain’s armband since the summer of 2021. In the 2024/25 club season, the midfielder played 9 matches and scored 2 goals.
On October 11, in the third round of the 2024/25 Nations League, Ukraine in Poznan minimally beat Georgia (1:0), scoring its first points. The Czech Republic, in turn, confidently beat Albania at home (2:0).
In the standings of Group 1 Division B, Georgia and the Czech Republic are in the lead – both teams have 6 points. Ukraine and Albania have three points each.
The match between Ukraine and the Czech Republic will take place in Wroclaw tomorrow, October 14. The meeting starts at 21:45 Kyiv time. The fight will be officiated by Spanish referee Guillermo Cuadra.
