THE WAY TO THE EURO. AFTER THE FIRST CHAMPIONS.
The Czech team got into a group with the world champions and European Spanish. So initially it was clear that she would have to fight only for second place. The main opponent of the Czechs are not very long ago to break into big tournaments Scots. Could not they do this at this time. The first match in October 2010 in Prague, the Czechs won by a single goal from former football player, “Moscow” Roman Gubnika. The key for the team Michal Bilek match in the group was held in Glasgow, where guests were able to escape destruction in the very ending. Do not forget it then Michal Kadlec in the final minute of the meeting, it is hardly the Czechs were able to be selected on the Euro. As a result, the Czech Republic and Scotland in the group, the winners of which were without a single loss of the Spaniards, divided only two points. In the play-offs are our closest rivals are fully implemented in the superiority of class over the Montenegrins, and once again made their way to the continental championship.

But then the Trust Bilek, who used to follow the model of the defensive game, managed to fix the situation and get-after a trip to Poland.

COMPOSITION AND TACTICS
The Czech team in matches against opponents of equal class or with the clear favorites prefers to operate the second number. In two years, the Czechs were able to strum the starting lineup, which certainly can cause only a two-position. In addition to Tomas Rosicky and Petr Cech in the ranks of these stars is difficult to find a team, but that does not mean that the meeting with this team promises an easy walk. Let the names of the players’ defense did not impress the fans, the defenders are able to bring to the despair of even the most masterful attackers. Teamwork – one of the main advantages of the team. Defense helps a pair of good defensive midfielders, so that the positional attack with the opponent will have to torment. The Czechs, who are uncomfortable and prickly opponent for any team, traditionally love and know how to play on the counterattack. At the edge of the acts leading goalscorer Euro 2004 Milan Baros. With it you should always keep your eyes open.
