At EURO 2024, the Czech Republic is in Group F with Türkiye, Georgia and Portugal. According to the schedule, at 02:00 on June 19, the Czech Republic will face Portugal in its first match in this summer tournament.

Before the match against Portugal, Tomas Vlcek participated in the press conference. Speaking to the press, the 23-year-old defender expressed his respect for the Seleccao, especially Cristiano Ronaldo.

According to Tomas Vlcek, Cristiano Ronaldo is a player who is very difficult to stop even when the owner of 5 Ballon d’Ors is old: “If I have the secret to stopping Cristiano Ronaldo, I can sell him for a very high price.

Everyone knows that Ronaldo is a very difficult player to stop. Of course, you have to be prepared to limit Ronaldo, but the plan has to change every second.

There is no formula for this, but it must be followed closely and the danger from Ronaldo minimized. It even takes a bit of luck to get the ball out of Ronaldo’s feet. In many cases, stopping it is impossible.”

Although he appreciates Ronaldo and Portugal, Tomas Vlček is confident in his team’s ability to beat the Seleccao. According to the 23-year-old defender, the Czech Republic’s goal is to win 3 group stage matches to take first place in the group.

However, it is not easy for Vleck, because the Czech Republic is not a worthy rival for Portugal. In terms of head-to-heads, the Czech Republic has even more reason to fear Portugal, because they have only won 1 and lost 4 of the previous 5 times the two teams met.

In the last 2 confrontations with Portugal, the team from the land of glass conceded 6 goals without scoring a single goal.
