In the second round of the group stage of the UEFA Europa League on June 22, Beijing time, the Czech Republic drew 1-1 with Georgia. After the match, Czech player Higuain Hick was interviewed, expressing his disappointment with the result and sharing his experience in the match.
Hickey started by admitting that the result of this draw was not ideal for the Czech team. He thought that the Czech team performed better in this match, but was affected by some unfavorable factors. In the first half, the excellent performance of the opponent's goalkeeper blocked the Czechs' offense several times. Then, the Czechs suffered from penalty kicks, which made the game situation more difficult.
Despite scoring an equalizing goal and consistently putting pressure on the opposition in search of a second goal, the Czechs were ultimately unable to secure the victory they felt they deserved. Hickey made a point of mentioning that the Czechs even came close to losing the game due to a mistake in the final moments of the game, and luckily, they were able to hold on to a point.
Talking about his shot opportunity at the end of the first half, Hickey said that he managed to find an excellent shooting position through some skillful moves. However, facing the tall goalkeeper of the opposing team, he finally chose to pass the ball instead of shooting. Hickey expressed some regret over the decision, but also acknowledged the excellent performance of the opposing goalkeeper.
Looking ahead to the final match, Hickey said the Czechs will give their best to get a better result. The draw was a disappointment for the Czech players, but it also inspired them to have a stronger fighting spirit and desire to win.
