Fresh off a turbulent qualifying campaign, Czech Republic coach Ivan Hasek is setting his sights on advancing from a competitive Group F at Euro 2024. Hired just months before the tournament, Hasek told CGTN his team aims to reach the knockout phase despite facing powerhouses like Portugal and rising contenders Türkiye and Georgia .
'Portugal is a favorite, Türkiye’s momentum is real, and Georgia? They eliminated Greece – that’s no accident,' Hasek said. The Czechs, who reached the quarterfinals in 2021, are looking to rebound after missing the 2022 World Cup and inconsistent Nations League performances.
Hasek’s rallying cry? 'We go into every match to win.' With strategic preparation and team cohesion as priorities, this tournament could mark a turning point for Czech football. Will they level up or face an early exit? The group stage kicks off June 14!
