Slouka’s statements:

For the game against Germany: “It’s clearly a difficult game, we see that there are surprises in the tournament. Germany will draw energy from their world in Berlin, they made it difficult for the tournament favorites. We also want luck with the first place step away from the medals”.

For the game against the Czech Republic: “Every game has its own story. The Czechs are a solid team that made things difficult for us. It was a tough win for us, it made us better. The goal is to get stronger every day.”

For Germany’s guards: “It’s crucial how we stop the opposing guards. And the Croatians had good goalscorers and the Italians the same tight team. The bet for us is our defense. When we have a good defense we get surprises, we find an open field Luck also plays a role in a game like this.”
