The first is that we could not change the chances we had to lead, which would allow us to play a quick counterattack. they collected the first one, “said Trpišovský.

“The second thing is, of course, the behavior with the goals scored, because the opponent had four attacks and scored three goals and once narrowly missed the goal,” said the 44-year-old native of Prague.
