Czech Republic midfielder Tomas Rosicky admits his side will have to take their chances when if they are to bounced back from their opening defeat to Spain when they face Croatia on Friday (17th June).

SOUNDBITE: (Czech) Pavel Vrba, Czech Republic coach (Q: What is so specific about Croatia? In their way of playing?):

"Croatia is very similar to Spain for me in their style of play because their players play in Spain. They're playing in Real Madrid or in Barcelona, so they bring the same thing to Croatia. And I think their coach does great because he's playing similary to Real Madrid and Barcelona. I think this is the strength of the Croatian side. They have quality players from these two clubs and they play in a similar style."

SOUNDBITE: (Czech) Tomas Rosicky, Czech Republic player (Q: You will face Croatia tomorrow, what are their strength and their weaknesses?):

"Their strength is going forward and attacking. They are very strong on the attack. But we already talked about this when we faced Spain. Every team has weaknesses, and it is up to us to use those weaknesses. We want to be better than the previous match. We had chances in the previous match, but we did not finish and we want to do better tomorrow."
