Scotland started well, getting the ball up the field into crossing positions.

The Czech Republic took the lead in Group D with three points and spoiled the party for Scotland, which was returning to a major men’s soccer tournament for the first time since the 1998 World Cup. It was an excellent finish that came from an equally outstanding cross from right back Vladimír Coufal. Schick had earlier given the Czechs the lead in the 42nd minute with a powerful header after muscling himself between two Scotland defenders. The previous record of 38.6 meters came from Germany midfielder Torsten Frings at Euro 2004.Ĥ9.7 – Patrik Schick’s second goal (49.7 yards) is the furthest distance from which a goal has been scored on record at the European Championships (since 1980).

UEFA said it was the longest distance for a goal in the tournament at 49.7 meters. Schick and the other Czech players ran toward the corner of Hampden Park where a few dozen Czech fans erupted in celebration. GOAL OF THE TOURNAMENT PRESENT TO YOU PATRIK SCHICK /cFeWvtPmYk It is clear West Ham are scouting the Bundesliga, the Hammers have been monitoring Matthias Ginter and Niklas Sule too.Marshall gave chase, but he could only watch the ball sail into the goal before he ended up tangled in net. Signing Schick remains difficult so perhaps a move for fellow Czech striker Adam Hlozek is more likely. This led to him moving to Roma and RB Leipzig before his switch to Bayer Leverkusen.Īlso, of course, being from the Czech Republic helps with the Hammers having a connection to the country. For example, West Ham players known as the ‘Czech mates’, Tomas Soucek, Vladimir Coufal and Alex Kral, already know the star striker and could perhaps try to tempt him to the East London like Soucek did to Coufal. Kretinsky was the man who sold him to Sampdoria, giving him his first move to a major European league.

New shareholder, Daniel Kretinsky, owns Schick’s former club Sparta Prague. However, West Ham have a number of links to Schick that could perhaps give David Moyes the upper hand in trying to sign him. No club wants to sell their best player but especially not during the season. However, signing him in January will prove incredibly tough.īayer Leverkusen are fighting for a Champions League spot in the Bundesliga and similarly to the Hammers, they topped their Europa League group and are through to the last 16. West Ham want a striker in January to provide competition to Michail Antonio and other attackers like Jarrod Bowen. He has scored 16 goals in 14 Bundesliga appearances this season building on previous season’s tallies in all competition of 13 and 10 respectively. Schick made a name for himself with his performances at Euro 2020 including that unforgettable 50-yard goal versus Scotland however, Schick is far from a one tournament wonder.
