The Czech Republic coach declares full confidence in defeating Ronaldo

Czech Republic coach Ivan Hasek has meticulously prepared for the upcoming match against the Portuguese national team.

The Czech national team faces a big challenge in their Euro opener against Portugal. However, Coach Ivan Hasek is very confident and has thoroughly prepared for this match:

“We aim to stay in the tournament as long as possible. The first match doesn’t decide that, but the entire team will have to face one of the top contenders for the championship. I’m glad that all 26 of my players are healthy and ready to play. Everyone is prepared for this match.

This match won’t change our approach; we already know that if we just defend and don’t play attacking football, we won’t have a chance. We have to confront the Portuguese stars with team spirit, and this is our only chance. Everyone has to dedicate themselves to the team.”

One of the stars that the Czech national team definitely needs to keep an eye on is the superstar Ronaldo. Coach Ivan Hasek has shown a certain level of respect for this legend but also aims to defeat and contain Ronaldo.

“Facing the Portuguese national team will be a big challenge for us. We will confront one of the greatest players in football history (Ronaldo). Many teams have failed to stop Ronaldo from scoring, but we can do it and will try our best to achieve that.

Not only Ronaldo, but the Portuguese national team also has players like Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Rafael Leao, and many others. The Portuguese team has quality players both in attack and defense. We won’t underestimate them; we know about their qualities. Portuguese players play for the best clubs in the world; they are stars and enter this match as championship contenders, but we want to win.

We know about Cristiano Ronaldo, but I want us to say after the match that we not only had the opportunity to face him but also defeated him.”
