“It shows how important a personality Serbian midfielder Veljko Birmančević is for Sparta. He is in form, he leads the team not only with performances, but also with goals,” says former Czech national team member Milan Fukal in a comment for Aktuálně.cz.
Slavia did not take advantage of the chance to stay on the first place, they lost in Pilsen. She didn’t have her day, she didn’t play well, but that can happen.
However, I would mainly highlight the home team, they were perfectly prepared, the players knew well what they were paying for the opponent.
Pilsen did not allow the leader of the competition almost anything, for example stopper Robin Hranáč gave a faultless excellent performance. This is mainly the work of coach Miroslav Koubek. Plzeň showed indisputable quality, I keep saying that they should have chased both Prague clubs much more in the table.
He can stand up to them, he can defeat them. She dusted off Sparta, now she has also overcome Slavia.
I agree with coach Jaroslav Veselý that Bohemka gave Sparta a gift. When she took an unexpected lead, she should have kept the lead in the allotted time. It was about the only corner that would be absolutely essential.
Even though Martin Vitík went into the header consistently, goalkeeper Lukáš Soukup should have solved it by running out, not standing still.
It was decisive for Sparta and the turn of the match. She knew she wasn’t playing badly, but she didn’t take advantage of some promising chances. If the players went to the dressing room in an unfavorable situation, they could develop an unpleasant feeling that they will not take advantage of the chances in the future. It could affect them psychologically. This is how they calmed down and turned the game around shortly after the break.
It turns out that the Serbian midfielder Veljko Birmančević is an important personality for the team, who scored two goals against Bohemka.
He already decided on the win in České Budějovice, he also scored Sparta’s only goal in a draw with Mlada Boleslaví. He is in form, he leads the team not only in terms of performance, but also in terms of goals. He presents himself, but also offers his services to the collective. He is constantly active, I don’t see him cheating.
Even with ten men, Olomouc played weakened for more than an hour and defeated Jablonec. Even though Jablonec didn’t quite have their day, it’s still a strong team with interesting individuals. Olomouc deserves nothing but praise for its will and bravery.
Even if things are a bit creaky in the club, the coach has changed, the team has proven that it has energy and quality. It is not empty. But he has to prove it every match. No matter who sits on the bench, no matter how many spectators come.
Brazilian midfielder Ewerton sent Baník into the lead in the derby with Karvina with a goal from his own half. I liked that the goalkeeper Dominik Holec did not make any excuses and took it upon himself, he admitted that he was the culprit. That’s his greatness.
At the same time, he was right when he reminded that he had to stand tall. Coaches are now demanding this from goalkeepers, they should be a part of the team during passing, when establishing a gradual attack. Unnecessary goals arise from this in the case of faulty passing, and they can fall even from such a distance.
I would appreciate Karvina. She lost twice, tied twice, returned to the match. She gained an important point. No one wants to lose, everyone wants to avoid the relegation last rung, as well as the play-off. No match is easy, this is true in the fight for the title and retention.
České Budějovice are no longer the last, they beat Liberec. I’ve been saying for a long time that this is a well-built team, they just need some settling down. Knowing what will happen next, who will be the owner, who will lead the players. Someone thinks more about it, of course that translates to the field.
