Coach Adrian Guľa did not expect that Wednesday’s unlucky elimination in the qualification of the Champions League with Alkmaar will leave such traces on the Pilsen players. The West Czechs suffered a 1: 4 debacle in the 2nd league round in Liberec and the Slovak coach was very unpleasantly surprised by the performance. He described the two defeats in five days as very sensitive and will evaluate with management how to react to them.
“We lacked teamwork, setting, emphasis, greater self-confidence at the beginning. Today it was also a psychological affair after Alkmaar. At the beginning of the match it was still possible to feel the KO, but I don’t take this crutch,” said at an online press conference Guľa, whose team collected three goals in Liberec in the first 14 minutes.
“There is something very unpleasant behind us (Alkmaar), but there is a new match, a new day, a new season is starting. I expected us to approach it differently. I’m really very surprised about it.” added Guľa.
After the winter arrival in Viktoria, Západočechy significantly raised and returned them to the fight for the league title, but now he is probably experiencing the most difficult period with the team. “We were lucky that with our entry into the club, the team looked completely different than today. The team immediately got into trouble, everyone stepped on, it was nice. In these unpleasant situations, like now, you are watching who is the leader, who is taking on the biggest responsibility. We’ll go through it all. “ said Guľa.
He will solve the situation with the management. “It’s clear that after a performance like today, everyone would bang on it, but we need to evaluate it without emotion so that it is the right solution for the club. We need to respond to developments that have taken place. This involves evaluating the details that “We have to go through it and find such a rope. The team has quality, the players have a clear quality, but these two losses are very sensitive for us at this stage.” admitted Ball.
He welcomes the fact that it is the turn of the national team break. “Now that there isn’t a league or cup match right now, there’s plenty of room for us to analyze it all. And evaluate correctly what’s going to be best for the club. Fans don’t deserve to play like we do today,” added Guľa.
