The Dutch aren't going to like this!
SINTRA, Portugal, June 20 (Reuters) - Czech Republic coach Karel Brueckner will rest players, including Pavel Nedved, against Germany in their final Group D match, he said on Sunday.
Speaking a day after his team clinched a quarter-final spot with a magnificent 3-2 victory over the Netherlands Bruckener said playmaker Nedved definitely will not start.
'I will rest Nedved, and some other players,' Brueckner said. 'We have plenty of good players in the squad.'
Germany need to win their final group game on Wednesday to be sure of reaching the last eight.
Brueckner's decision will not go down well with the Dutch, who need to beat Latvia and hope Germany do not win against the Czechs who have already won the group.
'I'm sure the Czechs will do their duty and play the way they can (against Germany),' Dutch coach Dick Advocaat said after their defeat to the Czechs in Aveiro on Saturday.
