VIDEO A curious goal in the Czech Republic: Everyone just watched incomprehensibly, what was happening! – Športky.sk

PRAGUE – After the home draw 2: 2 with Wales in the qualification for the World Championships in Qatar, the Czech footballers no longer participate in the play-off in their own hands. Although Wales has a match less with the clear favorite and leader of the group Belgium, the coach of the Czech Republic Jaroslav Šilhavý acknowledged that their Friday opponent has a great team.

The visitors kept the pressure on to tie the game when, after 36 minutes, Jakub Pešek broke through the center and found himself alone with the keeper. After the break, the Czechs got into the lead curiously. Ramsey returned to the defensive, jumped over the King in front of his own 16th and sent the ball to the goalkeeper Ward. However, the pass was crossed by the ball, then the ball was wiped off by the ball. Ward tried hard to scratch her, but she ended up in the net. However, this donated goal was not enough for the Czechs, as David James equalized in the 69th minute.

“I think the point is probably fair. The opponent was very good, we were looking, it occurred to me that the players had heavy legs. Especially in the first half it was not ideal. “The staffing was bad. We should be glad we didn’t get more goals from the counterattacks.” quoted the idnes.cz portal by coach Šilhavý.

The Czechs complicated the situation

Belgium is a clear leader of the E-group, in which practically only the second place is played, guaranteeing participation in the playoff. The Czechs complicated the situation after Friday’s draw. “Wales has one less match. Although he will still play against strong Belgium, he has an advantage over us. But I have to praise Wales, he played very well. We have to realize that it is not a weak team at all. It has Premier League players, from the second English league, they are used to the high pace they have shown us, “ added Šilhavý.

The Czechs will present themselves in Belarus in the next match on Monday. “Antonín Barák received a second yellow card, so he won’t fly with us, we’ll see how well Holeš will be. So we’ll make changes based on his health condition, we’ll probably have to call someone,” concluded the coach of the Czech Republic.

Walesan coach Rob Page was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. “We showed an excellent performance, we had a chance for two matches. I’m sorry we couldn’t win.” he said after the match.
