The Czech Republic and Georgia, who both lost in the first round, met in the second round and were brothers in need. It was the same Czech defender Hranak. After giving Portugal an own goal in the last game, he gave Georgia an own goal in the penalty area this time.
↑ Czech team player Hranak (third from right) scored an own goal in the game.
After Georgia's offensive core quietly became Mika Utadze, he easily scored the penalty kick. The Georgians once again took the lead early on. But after leading by one goal, he still made the same mistakes as in the last game and couldn't play anymore.
Especially the pre-established offensive core Kvalac Helia. He was placed in the left wing position by the coach. He frequently received passes from his teammates, but he only focused on sprinting and ignored the cooperation with his brothers. This is completely different from his brilliant performance at Naples in Serie A. In many moments when he was sprinting with the ball, I wish he could pass more threatening passes to his teammates.
He was planning to leave Naples last season. Perhaps he had not yet settled many details with his new club, which made him hesitate and half-hearted for a few days. You should do your job in your position. Even if you look slack for a day, the club will notice it. There is a high probability that based on this, there will be conflicts and differences between Kvalac Helia and the Naples club. After the European Cup, where will he play? For a professional player, it is indeed a headache.
No matter what, inner struggles should not be brought to the playing field. His abnormal behavior may have been seen through by French coach Sagnol, who quietly changed the core of the offense to the more diligent Mika Utadze. It was Mika Utadze's penalty kick that made him the third person to score two goals in this European Cup so far, after Germany's Musiala and Slovakia's Schranz.
On the other hand, the Czechs were unwilling to fail. After conceding a goal like a nightmare, their infinite fighting spirit seemed to be aroused. Soucek passed the ball to Hlozek, and defender Cao Far, who plays for West Ham United, made frequent assists. After several rounds, the Georgian was breathless. That corner kick was very interesting. It hit the head of his Czech teammate, then bounced to Schick and scored in one fell swoop. In all the contests since the start of this European Cup, there were not many points scored from corner kicks. The Czechs' hard work and luck finally equalized the score.
Objectively speaking, Georgia and the Czech Republic are brothers in love. When they faced different opponents in the first game, they both scored first and forced the opponent to fight hard to come back. The Czech Republic, in particular, was not afraid at all when facing the powerful Portugal, which impressed us all. The first half of Georgia's first game actually made Türkiye embarrassed. But when the two brothers faced each other in the second round, why did they appear to be greatly reduced in strength?
I think, after all, Georgia has entered the European Cup for the first time, and its lack of competition experience should be the main reason. The Czech Republic, after all, does not have enough foundation compared to Portugal. The two brothers in adversity only accumulated 1 point after two rounds. In the last round, they faced Portugal and Turkey respectively. Maybe they would say goodbye and leave two silent tears...
