Czech footballers are still fighting for second place in the qualifying E-group MS 2022.

After Monday’s victory in Kazan over Belarus 2: 0, they still retained the theoretical hope for the draw. Like the third Wales, they have 11 points on the account, but the islanders have a good match. The leader of the table is Belgium, with a five-point lead, which will almost certainly not be able to advance directly from the first place.

The duel was played in Kazan due to travel restrictions in Belarus, in a non-existent atmosphere without spectators. “It was crazy, it doesn’t belong to football at all. I’m glad the boys did it, because it’s not easy to get ready and show the best performance in such an environment. I am glad that we have it behind us and we are looking forward to going home for this year’s final matches, ” quoted the idnes.cz portal of the Czech national team coach.

“In the beginning, our predominance was not clear. We lost simple balls and the opponent went to dangerous breaks. When we regrouped the line-up after the break, we were already more compact in the middle of the field. After the second goal we dominated, we could have scored more goals, but we take the 2: 0 victory, ” he added.

Wales won 1: 0 in Tallinn over Estonia on Monday. There are only four matches left in the group, Wales hosts Belarus and Belgium at home, and Czechs and Belgians welcome Estonians at home.

“We still believe we will be second. Even though we don’t have it in our hands anymore. We want to manage our match with Estonia. The Welshmen are likely to defeat Belarus, so their match against Belgium will decide. We’ll see how it all ends. We still hope and believe, ” he commented Squinting. The Czech Republic still hopes to make it to the playoffs as one of the two winners of the League of Nations groups.
