Footballer Tomáš Souček has his head in his hands after the draw in Albania. He will not be able to play in the final match of the League of Nations. For that, he is having a great time at home.
Non-fat, unsalted. Czech footballers drew 0:0 in Albania in the penultimate of six matches of Group B1 of the League of Nations. They thus remained at the top of the table by one point ahead of yesterday’s opponent and Georgia. The Czechs were closer to a goal in Tirana. However, Jemelka and Cerv only hit the crossbar. “We came here for three points. We only have one in the final. It’s a shame that we didn’t take advantage of several chances in the first half.” said coach Ivan Hašek for ČTK. Captain Tomáš Souček led the team to the necessary victory. But in vain.
Souček and Chorý out of play
And it is Souček, probably the most important player, who will be missing from the national team on Tuesday in a direct battle for first place in the group and promotion to the elite division A in Olomouc with Georgia. Because of the yellow card penalty striker Tomáš Chorý will not be able to start the decisive battle either. In both cases it is a noticeable weakening.
Součka was not pleased with the loss of two points, but the distance in the next game is even worse. Fortunately, his family makes him happy. According to Blesk, the twenty-nine-year-old fighter will become a father for the third time. In addition, his wife Natalia will give him his first son after two daughters. So he will finally have someone to kick the ball with at home. “My wife and I always wanted to have a big family. Our wishes come true,” revealed Souček for iDnes.
Will there be a rematch?
But back to football. A potential first place in the group would very likely secure participation in at least the play-offs for the 2026 World Cup for Hašek’s men. The four best winners of the Nations League groups who fail in the classic qualification will go there. But Georgia beat his team 1:4 in the opening match of the competition. Souček et al. so they have something to give back to her. But the national team will have to perform better than against Albania. And most importantly, to deal with the loss of supports.
“I can’t imagine the situation yet. Sorry, I’ll be out of it for two or three days. But that’s football. I’m very sorry, I always want to help the team. I know how important this game is for all of us. We want to be first in the group and I want to be there. I will cheer and try to pass on experience,” he added for Sport Souček.
