Haraslín’s pre-match move says it all – PrahaIn.cz

REPORT: Tuesday’s Champions League match between the home side Sparta Prague and the big Spanish club Atlético Madrid ended with a heavy defeat for our champion. Although the 6:0 result was criticized by many experts and laymen, it is much more fundamental for the team since the summer injury of Lukáš Haraslín.

Everyone will probably remember for a long time how he went to the goal line, fell to the ground, and in a few seconds he put his head in his hands and consciously wiped away his tears. Those pictures were nice and we can only wish the Slovakian football talent a speedy recovery.

The course of the game may not need to be discussed at length and there will be no need to return to it. However, we would like to emphasize one point here. As our reporter from the scene said: “The father Haraslín twice was the only one who took off his jacket and gave it to the boy standing in front of him when he went on table, so that it would not be cold in the dry weather.”

PrahaIN.cz editors were at the stadium the whole time. In the audience as an observer and with a camera around his neck on the side as a journalist. So we focused mainly on non-football events. We were interested not only in the former Spartan coach David Holoubek, this time in the role of Nova TV expert, as well as the former defender and producer Tomáš Ujfaluši. During the whole match, both of them were like every Czech football fan. It was only after the cameras were turned off that we could not ignore the situation, which had to happen naturally.

There is no doubt that Ujfaluši, who played for Atlético between 2008 and 2011, left a strong mark in Spain. He is remembered not only by teammates and officials, but also by the fans themselves. As our reporter Georgi Bidenko said: “This was Tomáš Ujfaluši’s only smile all evening. It was only at the end of the post-match interview to the Atlético fans, when the visitors’ stands for the tenth time loudly chanted his name as a former player and enthusiastically taking pictures of it.

At the same time, David Holoubek was packing with Nova representatives. Ufjaluši moved to the cheerful corridors and imitated his colleagues within a few minutes. The same thing was waiting for us, ie a complete collapse in traffic on Letná. It took almost forty-five minutes to drive through Coronation Street, where roadworks are underway.

A disappointing evening, however, did not bother the home boiler throughout the game, for whom the Spartan players should give him a big compliment from afar. “An amazing performance by the fans, and above all by the Spartan fault, which drowned even the chants and celebrations of the Atlético fans and put after the goal of the home team until the last minute, despite the threatening score, “as one of the men said when he said. leaving them standing.

In Spartan eyes it was a disaster, but nothing could be done about it. One must learn from mistakes and keep moving forward.

The big match at Fenerbahçe SK awaits Slávist at home already on Thursday from 21:00. In addition to outstanding footballers, the ageless José Mourinho also comes.
