Euro 2016: Czech Republic vs Turkey - 5 players to watch out for

#2 Vladimir Darida

The Czech will look to Darida to provide steel in the middle of the park

One of the most important players in the Czech Republic national team, Vladimir Darida is a versatile midfielder who operates usually in the central midfield, central attacking midfield, central defensive midfield and has at times also been used as a forward too.

The player can act as a pivot for the team while initiating attacks and also take part in defensive duties. His most important strengths include his excellent passing ability and he also holds on to the ball pretty well. Having had an excellent season at Hertha Berlin under Hungarian Pal Dardai, Darida’s passing vision and ability has improved considerably over the past season.

In order to secure a victory against the Turks, the game has to be controlled by the Czechs and hence the circulation of the ball from midfield will be very important.
