Two goals from Krejčí were not enough for the national team to qualify

3.6.2010

The Czech Republic U-19 national team played the elite phase of qualification for promotion to the European Championship. The players, led by coach Hřebík, had to play three very difficult matches against the national teams of Italy, Russia and Northern Ireland. In the final standing, our players finished in third place. They began by losing the opening match against Italy 0:2, before drawing against the home team Russia in a wild 3:3 shoot-out, and defeating Northern Ireland 3:1 in the last match. Ladislav Krejčí, a young Sparta half-back, notably presented himself in the tournament with two goals. His first goal opened the scoring in the match against Russia and his second goal decided the match against Northern Ireland.
