GLASGOW: The Czech Republic's ability to withstand early pressure in their Euro 2020 opener against Scotland on Monday was crucial before Patrik Schick's"out-of-this world" long-range strike sealed their 2-0 win, Czech coach Jaroslav Silhavy said.
Silhavy also singled out Schick after the Bayer Leverkusen forward opened the scoring in the first half with a header before his astonishing effort from 45 metres, the furthest distance from which a goal has ever been scored at a European Championship. "We know he is a genius and he knows how to finish," Silhavy said."The second goal was something out of this world. He likes to try that in training and he tried it in one of our previous games as well."The result left the Czechs on three points, level at the top of Group D with England, who beat Croatia 1-0 on Sunday, while Scotland will already be feeling nervous about their prospects ahead of their next game against England on Friday when the Czechs face Croatia.
