Jaroslav Šilhavý, Czech Republic coach, praised his palyers for their perfomance in a game against Spain (2:2).

"The players worked hard, I think our tactics were right. It was a bit defensive, but I don't think that we could have approached this game any other way and the players felt it the same."

"I have to say that even in my dreams I would not imagine that we would have four points after two games in this group. Tomáš Souček said we are disappointed after a draw against Spain. It says it all."

"Souček says that he wants to play all the matches and he is ready. All his team-mates see how he works, see his commitment. He is an irreplaceable, invaluable player for us now."
