Libor Kozak hopes to take Lazio form into World Cup qualifiers

Lazio striker Libor Kozak has said that he aims to take his form in the Europa League into the World Cup qualifying matches against Denmark and Armenia.

Kozak is the competition's top scorer with eight goals but is yet to find the target in 13 Serie A games.

However, he hopes that the experience in Europe will serve him well in the Czech Republic's upcoming qualifiers.

"The only instruction from the coach was that I should bring my scoring form from the Europa League to Prague," UEFA.com quotes Kozak as saying. "I will do best to fulfil that request.

"It might be a coincidence, but the Europa League suits me well. We have had a marvellous run in it with Lazio.

"It would be fantastic to play in the final, but there are still four difficult games in front of us."

Kozak has one previous cap for the Czech Republic.
