SOUNDBITE: (Czech) Pavel Vrba, Czech Republic head coach
"I think that we showed in the qualifying matches that we have great individual players just like Spain, just like Germany and so on. But especially, we have a great team. And that's what was decisive in the match against Holland for example. And we hope that we show our team spirit at this tournament as well."
SOUNDBITE: (Czech) Pavel Vrba, Czech Republic head coach
"I'm glad that the fans trust us because we played well in the qualification. Karel Bruckner is here as my experienced consultant. He was at the Euros, at the World Cup. That's why I chose him to help me at this championship as well and if we surprise Spain or not, I hope we do surprise them somehow."
SOUNDBITE: (Czech) Tomas Rosicky, Czech Republic midfielder
"How am I looking forward to my fourth Euro? Of course I'm looking forward to it very much. This is a special event. All players want to be here, so I'm very glad that I made the squad, that the coach trusts me, and I'll try not to disappoint him."
