The head coach of the Czech women's national team, Jitka Klimkova, acknowledged that the Ukrainian players have prepared excellently for their first match, which means her team will enter today’s game with heightened focus.

"The Ukrainians have done a great job preparing for us. In our last third of the field, they shut us down significantly, and we couldn't play as we did in previous matches.
Now we are much better prepared for this, and we also know what we want to improve in our game. The girls definitely know what to focus on during training," Klimkova stated.
It is worth noting that today, April 8, the Ukraine women's national team will face the Czech Republic in the fourth round of the Nations League.
Currently, the "blue and yellow" are leading the group. A few days ago, Ukraine narrowly defeated the Czechs (1:0).
Vladimir Pyatenko's team has accumulated 9 points from 3 matches. In the first two rounds of the Nations League, the Ukrainian women's team achieved victories against Albania (2:1) and Croatia (2:1).
The Czech Republic team has 6 points, having started the Nations League with wins over Croatia (4:0) and Albania (5:1).
To advance in class, the "blue and yellow" must either win the group or win the playoff against the third-placed team from Division A (if they finish second).
