The international period is coming to an end as players prepare to resume action in their various leagues. However, they would no doubt love to end this period on a high for their country and for themselves indeed. Two such teams who would be hoping for this is the Czech Republic and Brazil. When they thus come face to face in an international friendly, pride and a desire to win is bound to be the motivating factor for this match.
Brazil
Brazil is a team which is getting stronger with each passing day. However, they have suffered a few disappointments. One of such disappointments was no doubt in the way in which they left the World Cup so early on in the tournament. The latest disappointment would have no doubt come against Panama. Against a team they were supposed to trounce, they could not find a way to win. They would be hoping that their team comes to life when they meet the Czech Republic. However, to win, they would have to pay much better than they did against Panama. It remains to be seen just what tactics they would use when they come face to face with the European team.
Czech Republic
The Czech Republic need something to wake them up from their slumber and the match against Brazil can either do that or leave them gasping for breath. The European championship qualifiers have not gone according to plan and their first match has ended in disaster. They were on the back foot of a 5-0 mauling by England. They would no doubt feel that everything is falling apart. Their emotions could be proved correct if they also lose by that number of goals when they face might Brazil. They would no doubt take confidence from the fact that Brazil cannot seem to win a game to save themselves. If they are to win, they would have to defensively sound and ready to take the game to Brazil.
Form
When it comes to the form, there is no doubt that Brazil is heads and shoulders above the Czech Republic. They have managed to win five of their last six games in all competitions. With the draw against Panama, they are currently unbeaten in their last six games. It is definitely a bad omen for the Czech Republic. Brazil would be slowly confident of their ability to get back to winning ways when they meet their opponents today.
The Czechs on the other hand, cannot boost of the same record with Brazil. They have managed to win three of their last six games. The remaining matches have ended in three losses. Their form clearly shows a team who is struggling with inconsistent results. They would be looking to purge themselves of this when they meet Brazil. It may just be on task too big for them though.
When both teams take to the field, it would come down to who wants it the most. It would be interesting to see how everything turns out in the end.
