. so you think this is a nice talking to a soon ok well yes and no czech republic it's also about football the czech team became world cup runner is up twice their biggest success was in 1976 when they won the euros and in 1996 they reached a final again they produced stars such as an advocate and a sit ski. to name a few. and they qualified for euro 2020 again for the 7th time in a row this has only been achieved by a few other nations but checks are not precisely ecstatic about their team there's been a bit of a fall out with the public and comes from the national team many much not she was a moment on your menu which did then i will still be hot your generation is just good box to watch the nation was but. what

has happened. as czech football fallen from grace or is it a sleeping giant. are they ready to strike again like in the good old days. is it back to the future for the czechs at euro 2020. i went all across the czech republic to find out. let's start in prague the golden city one of europe's james everybody loves not just tourists on the world famous charles bridge . it has lately also been popular with italian football fans. because into play here in the champions league against slavia prague the stadium was sold out which is not always the case when the national team play i mean we did anyone says sell out the game of with england which really would have happened a while back. football blogger thomas danny checks says the current lack of

euphoria has been growing for over a decade so basically once all the call iris and viruses and net vets aged out there was just no one to lean on there was no one who would be coming through so there was a gap like a real gap afterwards after 2008. there is a superstar in key to czech republic success in the past in 2004 a czech republic had the potential to win it then. but the great greek wall got stronger and snatched the title. when levy a generation retired czech football entered years of depression it took until the 2010 for the czech f.a. to take action and to try fixing this. 3 years ago they set up regional academics and those are now really focused on developing a crop of players that will be consistently able to deliver results and the man in

charge of these youth academies is not quite a stranger. do you remember of. course you do who could forget this hair. and she played with flair and elegance not many hands. and this is you today what a make over he looks like a hit movie director rescript check football. he did. not. appear. to show the nods. to me and also wasn't. just before. like belgium or germany in the past czech republic wants to get back on track by professionalizing youth football. they want to create

a new golden generation like here in the western city of build some. local club the story i used to be a champions league participant. it is the home of former stars such as paid for cish. and of today's internationals such as we love the music that you got. the academy scout young talents all over the country very education does not stop on the football pitch. culture psychologists and physiotherapists take care of the kids. they have to wake up at 6 in the morning they have to be good at school they like literally see their families for 5 days in a week and they are still 1314 so they really have to like kids to kind of survive here in the system for now though check football fans still have to do well in the past at the decisive qualifier against kosovo in pills and it's nostalgia for the good old days and players like tom marshalls its cage many not she would not she

was my thought on your menu which did. you will be able to vote on it was like. it's going to be a time of the. many. many victories and no one quarrels the level that if we open up. a little too little czech republic one against kossovo and qualify for the euro 2020 but we've already seen why there are football parties it felt more like people who were relieved after a game only a few celebrated in style of their confidence ran high but the rest of pills and had already gone home by then oh support for the national team has declined what's it like at club level. today our club from the capital is the main force slavia prague the country's oldest club is back on the scene. i

think amazing like go again sponsor. they have returned to the champions league this season after 12 long years of absence. slavia the chinese investor and that helped. much more money and here was well over christmas. that you just cannot have got because it usually just shouldn't push people study that you very much including new workers had to swallow up so the store was. put us into. players like so chick as opposed to 4 young people. they know each other from the club and take their game also to the national team. but the only check team to play internationally to season there is more money being pumped into the league but does that mean that the quality has improved in the generation of talk about from 19th players when the

move to brooch. improved improved and he brought it to the national team and played very well for national team now with the bigger salaries here the players are not so much he waited. 2 to go and go abroad. form and check stars play that. man united or liverpool today's generation at the likes of city or have trouble and good clubs but not the best of the best and if they play at home the quality is too low and there are even more serious issues. chairman of chick if they are among barber he's a very controversial a man very unpopular among among supporters he's a former member of member of the secret police so and he was also former

referee he created net off in other refreeze and they have big big power so the main feeling is people here in sugar public don't trust. chick football despite promotion or qualification to euro 2020. most czech fans don't believe this will change anytime soon so does this mean there is no football passion in czech republic. well there is. this is also about czech republic 3rd largest city on the border of of poland and slovakia the industrial town is the former steel heart of the country. local team bunny goes for some of czech republic's most passionate fans. it is dark the time against neighboring rivals for public attention runs high it is the most important game of the year for. former bundesliga player and

2nd. national but slough city of course he's from the region funny was his 1st professional team at euro 2080 scored the opening goal when czech republic be toast switzerland. said i'll buy just about you much of it here is yours not a little bit about free a lot of sawdust just. about to. go to dubai. on does big deal it is in here that you always gonzaga in the house and look behind him even if you are jealous brock. people here don't care too much about the quality of the league or allegations of corruption they keep the passion for football alive no matter what. money because the home of former star and of goalkeeper e.g. publica this is the national team strongest position public of thomas writes leak from c.b.s. . slobby of color and to make it 4 okes books tom coburn. vehicle

to take. this. as a top issue on their puppet chick to get out there by leipsic trio patrick chick is a highly rated talent probably the biggest asset of the czech team. chick team really mean. partick chic to be to be fully fit to be ready to be uniform for the european championship and what about alex crowd the czech hair brother of louise the defensive midfielder was instrumental for the win against kosovo. they have to listen to. the boots most a stock leader and. follow it or not he has. just opened the door. finally there are 2 bundesliga players who are already played at euro 2016 bloody meat of that you know from how it's a balanced and private but there's

a big from hoffenheim that is a good at its own home. view of how long it was going to. go to getting the fuel feel stocker. used world order in bathrooms all. right so what can check republican see that euro 2020. something the hope that they will go. do you off to do a group maybe quarter final to smack someone from my point really looks and look most of all i think we're not going to be in a final long to be honest but i hope we will get from the group to play out the giving us one to. definitely we will be in for sort of. learning czech lesson one good luck czech republic to speak truth squad the.
