Czech Republic coach Michal Bilek praised his players for reacting well to the pressure in maintaining their hopes of a place in the Euro 2012 quarter-finals after a 2-1 win over Greece in their Group A match here Tuesday.
"We surprised them by scoring twice in six minutes and the defence played a great game then, so we managed to win. We needed the two goals to calm down, to gain confidence, then we could relax because we knew we were up," said Bilek.
We played really well in the first-half and were really good, and passed the ball around really well," he said.
"Our defence was really good today. I am happy, because we were playing under a lot of pressure, we knew that the Euro was finished for us if we lost."
