Denia will launch the era of the Czech national team with a match against Croatia

Denia will launch the era of the Czech national team with a match against Croatia

The Czech national football team will face Croatia at Prague's Eden on Saturday in its first Nations League match under Spanish coach Santi Denia. It will be the first official match in which the Czech national team is led by a foreign coach. Croatia has never yet beaten the Czech side in their history. eurofotbal.cz ↗

Denia wants to instil in the team, above all, courage, a clear playing identity and a willingness to work. "Luck is not important. The main thing is that we all do a good job," said the new coach. His team is also expected to show speed and an emphasis on crosses into the box. At the same time, it is still uncertain what line-up he will choose for his debut and what roles he will assign to individual players. idnes.cz ↗

Defender Ladislav Krejčí will keep the captain's armband, and Denia singled him out as an example for the others. Attention is also focused on who will start in goal and what role striker Patrik Schick will be given. Former coaches and other experts agree that the new coach needs time, and they do not expect the match to bring an immediate fundamental transformation of Czech football as a whole. sport.cz - fotbal ↗

Croatia will be led by Slaven Bilič, who is returning to the national team after fourteen years. For Denia, it will be his first appearance on the Czech bench in a competitive match, and against a strong opponent at that. The result and the style of play will therefore show how his ideas begin to translate into the team at the start of a new era. idnes.cz ↗
