How and where to watch the Portugal vs Czech Republic match live?
What time is Portugal vs Czech Republic match for Nations League?
Speak up, Jaroslav Silhavy!
“There won’t be many changes (against Portugal), but Jindra Stanek will be in goal. Our opponents are very good, but we don’t only want to defend. We have already shown with Spain that we can be dangerous on the counter-attack. Would it be better for us if Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t play? Playing against a player like Ronaldo is an experience and the boys will want to face him.”
Czech Republic Squad
Speak up, Fernando Santos!
“We will have to be patient, we will have to be attentive. The Czechs beat Spain and got a draw at the end, and beat Switzerland. It was not by chance. Individual creativity is also important. They are well organized and compact defensively. We have to be patient and wait for the right moment. But we won’t change our philosophy, we want to impose ourselves in the game.”
