A match of truth for the Croatian national team at the European Championship! No doubt, after the defeat by England at Wembley in the first match of Group D, the Croatian team no longer has the right to make a mistake in this tournament, if they want to reach the quarterfinals.

Coach Zlatko Dalic this Friday in Glasgow against the Czech Republic must get a lot more out of Croatia than he managed in the last few years. Namely, after the unforgettable silver in Russia in 2018, our chosen species failed to repeat a similar game in the next competitions, which worries the fans. Now is the time to start, or it will be too late. For Dalic, the biggest problem is still the game forward. He tried with Petković , Kramarić and Rebić at the top of the attack, but so far nothing is helping. However, there were moments of inspired play in the opposing half, especially in the recent friendly match against Armenia, so on the eve of the Czech Republic we have the right to hope that our team will finally start scoring, and that is when it is most important, as many times before in Croatian football history. Luka Modrić still plays fantastically, at the age of 35, and Mateo Kovačić also looked good at Wembley. That is why against the opponent of less power than the English, our midfield should be imposed this Friday, and then it will be easier for the attackers.

But is the Czech Republic really a team of lower quality? In the first round of our group, they defeated Scotland in an impressive way at the same stadium where they now play against Croatia, thanks to great goals by Patrick Schick . The Czechs are thus one step away from the round of 16 , and coach Jaroslav Šilhavy can already be extremely satisfied with the performance of his players at the Euros. But it is a team that wants even more, like Slavia Prague in the Europa League last season, which no one seriously counted on, and still knocked Leicester and Rangers out of the competition and made it all the way to the quarterfinals. The Czech Republic is now trying to do the same, with a player based on Slavia, along with several reputable international, of whom Souček and Šik have already come to the fore. We remember the last duel with the Czechs from the previous Euro, when the Croatian team calmly led 2: 0 and then inexplicably fell in the end and conceded two goals. This time I do expect a much firmer match in which there will be less space for the opponent.

Czech team is standing strong on the pitch and their body language is fantastic at this Euro. I can't say that for my beloved Croatians, they simply don't have big teamwork at this Euro. I predict the Czech team to be closer to victory here.

一场克罗地亚国家队在欧洲杯上的真实比赛!毫无疑问，在温布利D组第一场比赛中负于英格兰后，克罗地亚若想进入四分之一决赛，就再也无权在本届世界杯中犯错了。

主教练兹拉特科·达里奇本周五在格拉斯哥对阵捷克的比赛中必须从克罗地亚得到比过去几年更多的东西。也就是说，在2018年俄罗斯世界杯上获得令人难忘的银牌后，我们选择的物种在接下来的比赛中没有出现类似的比赛，这让球迷们感到担忧。现在是开始的时候了，否则就太晚了。对于Dalic来说，最大的问题仍然是比赛的前进。在攻击的最开始，他尝试了Petković， Kramarić和Rebić，但到目前为止没有任何帮助。然而,有灵感的时刻在对方一半,特别是在最近针对亚美尼亚的友谊赛,所以捷克共和国前夕我们有权希望我们团队最终将开始得分,当它是最重要的,因为克罗地亚足球历史上多次。卢卡Modrić在35岁的时候仍然表现出色，马特奥Kovačić在温布利也表现不错。这就是为什么面对实力比英格兰弱的对手时，我们的中场应该在周五施加压力，这样进攻就会更容易。

但是捷克真的是一支低质量的球队吗?在小组赛的第一轮，他们以令人印象深刻的方式击败了苏格兰，现在他们在同一个球场对阵克罗地亚，多亏了帕特里克·希克的精彩进球。因此，捷克离16强只有一步之遥，教练雅罗斯拉夫Šilhavy已经对他的队员在欧洲杯上的表现非常满意了。但这是一支想要更多的球队，就像上赛季欧罗巴联赛的布拉格斯拉维亚队(Slavia Prague)一样，没人真的指望它，但它还是把莱斯特和流浪者队踢出了比赛，并一路杀入四分之一决赛。捷克共和国现在也在尝试做同样的事情，有一名来自斯洛伐克的球员，以及一些著名的国际球员，其中Souček和Šik已经崭露头角。我们还记得上届欧洲杯上与捷克的最后一场对决，当时克罗地亚队以2:0的比分平静领先，但最终莫名其妙地输掉比赛，丢了两球。这一次我确实期待一场更加激烈的比赛，对手的空间会更小。

捷克队在球场上很强势，他们在欧洲杯上非常棒。我不能说我最爱的克罗地亚人，他们在欧洲杯上没有很强的团队合作精神。我预测捷克离胜利更近。
