Czech national team coach Jaroslav Shilhavy had a press conference in Trnava ahead of the League of Nations match against Slovakia.

"I am very happy that my debut as a coach falls on the match with Slovakia. I'm looking forward to it. Slovakia has very strong players. I can single out Milan Škrinjar from Sampdoria and Marek Hamszyk from Napoli. I know other performers, but these two are the most dangerous. We have Josef Hushbauer, Radym Rzeznik and Lukasz Heida who will miss tomorrow's match due to injuries. This is a loss for our team, but I hope for other guys, "said the coach of the Czech national team.

"I expect that in Trnava the packed stadium will have a great atmosphere. I hope that our fans will come to Slovakia to help us get a positive result in tomorrow's match. Unfortunately, we had little time to prepare for this match. But we tried to organize the game and work out some tactical moments. Tomorrow's game will show how successful we are and how strong our team is. He decided on the composition, except for one position. But we still have a night to spare, and in the morning we will make a decision, "Yaroslav Shilgavy said.
