Wolves star reveals his motivation for Harry Kane ‘battle’

Wolves defender and Czech Republic captain Ladislav Krejci expressed that facing elite players like Harry Kane motivates his career progression, following a 2-0 Nations League defeat to England in Prague. Krejci played the full 90 minutes in his return from a calf injury as the Czech Republic battled with 10 men following Pavel Sulc's early red card. Anthony Gordon and Kane scored England's goals.

Krejci praised his side's resilience and noted that comparing himself against world-class opposition provides significant motivation. The Czech Republic will next face Spain and England before Krejci returns to Wolves for their Championship match against Middlesbrough on October 10.
