Video: Czech Republic look ahead to Italy clash

The Czech Republic train in Turin ahead of World Cup qualifier against Italy.

Michal Bilek, Czech Republic coach, said: “It was quite hard to go through that last defeat. It was a real disappointment actually and we were sad after the match. It’s a big challenge to motivate the squad but we have do our best during the next match. It’s not easy because Italy is a strong team but this will be our last chance and we can’t afford to miss it”

Arsenal and Czech Midfielder Tomas Rosicky said: “I know (Mario) Balotelli very well. He has big potential and he’s an excellent player. I think he could have better results if he just took it easy and remained calm. It may be because of his age. But he’s definitely a great player and he confirmed it at Manchester City first and now in Milan.”
