“There are two wonderful games ahead of us. We’ll play in Wembley against England, the atmosphere will be great there. And then the other game against Brazil, home in Eden, the match will be sold-out, such a team will drag a lot of attention. I am glad I will be there and that I’ll have a chance to compare myself with such players,” Král added.
