“You can lose, but it must not look like a shame. Like a debacle. Like a complete collapse of some concept. Which is what happened to Sparta in Pilsen,” says former Czech international Milan Fukal in a regular commentary for Aktuálně.cz about the football hit Fortuna: Liga. in which Viktoria clearly beat the opponent 4:0.
I see the biggest mistake in responsibility. In concentration on a specific situation.
Even in weakening, it is possible to prevent the score from increasing.
Just remember the goals that Sparta got.
The first falls after a bad pass by Panák. His similar failure already resulted in an autumn defeat in Mladá Boleslav.
I understand that the coach wants to play something, the player must follow his instructions, he follows them. A bad pass, it happens, can result from the demand for a constructive pass.
But what did the Spartan defender do then? Červ’s shot, the goalkeeper shoots, Pilsen striker Chorý is on the move, he is at the first stop. He doesn’t score yet, but he gets to the ball again. At that moment, Panák should have already been in the fight, sliding, preventing the opponent from finishing in peace.
In addition, a great player can be recognized by when he solves the situation football-wise and when he chooses a simple solution, for example by kicking into the stands, even though it is not pleasant. And Panák is also being talked about in connection with the national team…
And other goals? At 3:0, substitute Mejdr lets the whole side go, followed by a cross to two free players, even though the central defenders were behind.
A complete breakdown of everything.
Sparta got five goals against Liverpool, they must have watched it on video, at least I assume so. I can’t believe they just let it go. They were taking them apart.
Then they go to Plzeň, for the fight between the third and the first, but I don’t think that Viktoria will enter the fight for the title, even if anything can happen. It is enough for Sparta not to lose – and this is how it will turn out.
She did catch a match when the opponent knew what he wanted to play on her, and he was able to fulfill it. Pavel Šulc, who was one of the main actors of the great victory, returned to the team. Together with him, Tomáš Chorý, French legionnaire Cheick Souaré and others.
But the result was mainly about Sparta, which did not show anything at all.
Slavia blew away difficult opponent Teplice with four goals. After the defeat with AC Milan, she had to quickly switch to the domestic league, which she did.
Again, it is the merit of coach Jindřich Trpišovský, who had to rotate the line-up and sent the excellent Matěj Jurásk. His shots were delicious.
However, it is important for me that she did not cash in. After conceding four goals in Milan, this is essential for the psyche of the players, they set themselves up well for the revenge.
After the defeat with Olomouc, Baník fans demanded the dismissal of coach Pavel Hapal. I understand their frustration, their dissatisfaction is growing.
It’s been a long time, Baník still can’t move up in the league to compete with the best. It makes a difference if you end up behind the top by ten or twenty points, but it completely depends on the way you play.
I say to myself – that’s not possible. The club, which is financially sound, is led by legends who have experienced something and have vast experience from abroad. The situation is not good at all, probably no coach can just improve it.
České Budějovice twice led over direct competitor Zlín, in the end they could not keep the win. The equalizer came in the last minute. That’s the law of football approval, the team in the fifth place will not be affected. I’m not surprised that they are upset about it in Budějovice.
However, I would look for the positives. The opponent was not better, the quality of the team and the players are improving, there are still a lot of matches ahead of them, including the superstructure.
Many have already written off the South Bohemian club. Bad coaches, weak staff, unsettled relationships, including the owner. But Budějovice are here and they have something to bounce back from, they are not in a hopeless position. They won’t get a goal like that again next time.
