Another game for the National Team will feature North Macedonia as its opponent. Most coaches agree that playing friendly matches before the Euro tournament is very important and helpful.

Ivan Hasek is well-versed in positioning players so that each can show his maximum. As the top players in the Czech squad are midfielders and wingers, Hasek expanded these lines, and they carry the major part of this team’s game.
Playing Style and Formation
Stanek will position himself at the goal line. In front of him, Holes, Zima, and Krejci will play the defence. The captain, Soucek, along with Sadilek, will be in the middle, with Coufal and Jurasek being the wingers.
Leverkusen’s star, Schick, will try to offer a helping hand to Sulc and Hlozek, who will be closest to the rival’s goalkeeper.
Team History
In the past, this national team used to change its name and association. Still, both time spans were adorned with some unbelievable wins as well as some medals.
Overview
For the first 60-odd years, Czechs were part of Czechoslovakia. In the last 30-odd years they played as the Czech Republic. The first period was a little more successful than the second one. All in all, this nation is very enthusiastic about this sport.
Achievements and Honours
The National Team won second place in the World Cup twice, in 1934 and 1962. They also played in the quarterfinals the same amount of time in 1938 and 1990.
Their success at Euro is even bigger. That being said, the Czechs won Euro 1976, which took place in Yugoslavia. Moreover, the National Team ranked third twice (in 1960 and 1980) and was the semifinalist in Portugal in 2004.
