Krejci: We Must Show What We're Capable Of Against Mexico

Czech Republic captain Ladislav Krejci remains optimistic despite the 1-1 draw against South Africa in their second Group A World Cup match. He believes his team still has a chance to advance in the tournament, provided they perform at the required level in their third game against Mexico.

"We had a clear tactical plan, and it worked perfectly at the start. However, we then experienced a slight dip in concentration and began losing too many first balls in midfield. Our opponents capitalized on this. There's no point blaming anyone for the penalty; that's football – an unfortunate situation. The most important thing is that our destiny is still in our hands. We have a match against hosts Mexico, and there we must show the best of what we are capable of," Krejci stated after the game.
