They can push opponents whether they play us, France or anyone else. I don't think they would change their style, which they play from the age of sixteen to the adult armband."

Jaroslav Šilhavý, coach of the Czech Republic, spoke ahead of the match: "It will be more difficult for sure. They don't change the way they play. That's how they crush their opponents. It's going to be worse, because they're playing at home. We know that. And they are hurt by the point we took from them. It's not that they are scared by the draw in Prague, I don't think so. It's going to be tougher, we know that". "They are both very strong. Individually and collectively. In all aspects of the game. Spain has a very clear plan. They press very high and their idea is to always maintain that pressure. I was more impressed with Spain than Portugal. I think they are an impressive team in many facets of the game". "It's already the last game. We are all the same. Nobody has told me I can't play. We take everything into account, that's why we make changes."

Luis Enrique spoke before the match: "The result conditions everything. That's how soccer works. This team (Switzerland) had gone 23 games without losing an official match at home and we had the chance to beat them".

"The result determines the outcome. I'm happy with the spirit of the players and their attitude. It's a positive match that gives us the possibility to still depend on us".

"When they press us, they take us to one side of the field and we have no solutions. When we do that very well, you can hit a ball up top; and we change the pressure. We are good there too. But it's not our identity. Our identity is to get the ball played. You have to have personality to play."

"This is a game of mistakes. It's a game to be proud of what the national team is. The first half is more complete. In the second half we did not have a more forceful behavior of ball possession, which forced the opponent more ."
