Milan (from our correspondent) – “I remember the autumn of 2011 well – he exclaimed – when asked about Pilsen’s first season in the Champions League.” Milan, San Siro. That stadium is fantastic, one of the most beautiful and traditional in Europe. “
And he remembered another detail. “My chance, which I will not forget for the rest of my life,” he recalled the situation at half-time, pushing the ball into the goal with his eyes, but it went just over the post. Pilsen lost 0: 2 in the Milan arena, but also thanks to a 2: 2 home draw he finished third in the group and played in the Europa League in the spring.
Now the situation is more complicated. The Czech champions are at zero after the first four duels with Barcelona, Bayern and Inter. “We have another difficult game ahead of us, but we all think it will be a great experience this time too. We arrived in a good mood: we have no reason to be depressed,” explained Horváth. “We all wanted to be in the Champions League – and we are playing it. We want to be better at Inter than in previous matches.”
Pilsen has already met the Milan colossus in the autumn, losing 0: 2 at home. “The forward Lukaku has returned to Inter, which will be a big change,” Horváth recalled at the imminent return of the recovered offensive ace. plays”.
If Plzeň wants to win the first autumn points in the brilliant competition, she has to start well, which she has failed to do in previous matches. “The scenario tends to be similar: the opponent shows us great qualities and the beginnings are deadly for us. It is not easy to lose from the beginning, so we want to be active at the beginning and then in the rest of the game”, he planned. Horváth.
Spicy detail: Under certain circumstances, Pilsen can keep Barcelona in the game for promotion, whose fans are harassing Czech champions on social networks. Viktoria should score in Milan and at the same time the Catalan team should also succeed at home with Bayern. We have received many messages from both Barcelona and Inter fans. On the other hand, we are still in the game for promotion to the European League in the spring, “smiled Horváth.” But it will be difficult. “
Also due to the absence of three injured attackers: Janové Kopic and Sýkora will be missing until the end of the autumn, in addition to the striker Kliment. He recovered the previous injury and for him the autumn part is over. The other guys were also in good shape and we relied on them. Nothing can be done, we have to do without it, “said Horváth resigned.
By the way, the last matches of the Pilsen Champions League group are coming out. From her previous three Champions League appearances, she has managed to win at least one of her last two games each time. “If we do it again, we will all be happy,” Horváth noted.
