The specific situation of Czechoslovakia's participation in the World Cup

Head coach: Weiss has been attached to football for three generations. His father, Old Weiss, is a player, and his son, Little Weiss, currently plays for Manchester City in the Premier League. Weiss was an international in Czechoslovakia when he was young. Weiss is a coach who is good at leading small and medium-sized teams to make history by beating strong teams. His coaching experience in European competitions has made him very calm in the face of such a big event as the World Cup.

Star player: Hamsik.

Hamsik, who currently plays for Napoli in Serie A, is only 22 years old, but he has been playing in Serie A for four years. He is a talented midfielder. His body can run for 90 minutes like a perpetual motion machine. What is particularly commendable is that he has the thinking and ability necessary for a smart midfielder. These also make him the core of attack and defense of Napoli and Slovakia national teams.

Best result of the World Cup: two-time runner-up (former Czechoslovakia) 1934/ 1962.

Because there are no famous superstars in tactical play, Slovakia's play is mainly based on overall attack, which is very effective.

Prospect forecast Slovakia is regarded as one of the teams with the greatest dark horse potential. Excellent midfield, solid defense and fierce attack will make Slovakia go further. The first game against the relatively weak New Zealand should be easy to win, and it is very likely to advance to the top 16.
