Coach Jindřich Trpišovský, after defeating 0: 1 in the 3rd round of the European Conference League in Haifa with Maccabi, was sorry that Slavia’s footballers, unlike in previous years, were repeatedly unable to perform in outdoor matches as at home.
“The fourth outdoor match in a stormy atmosphere and we can’t give the performance we give at home. Some individual performances are not like that,” Trpišovský wondered.
In this cup season, the Prague team first lost outside after one match in the qualification of the Champions League (Ferencváros Budapest) and the European League (Legia Warsaw), they also suffered defeat in the last match of the European Conference League with Feyenoord in Rotterdam.
“All those matches were similar. The opponent will change the first or second chance, and on the contrary, we will not change the chance ourselves,” lamented the red-and-white strategist. “Every team has fast players in Europe, so the match turns into the fact that we have an open field and they go into break situations, which suits them,” he added.
According to Trpišovský, moreover, his team produces such defensive mistakes that opponents on the European scene punish.
“We have not done them in previous seasons. It is not possible to offer such positions. Maccabi had two solo raids, which is unacceptable for the European level, then it is not possible to manage the matches,” said the coach of the Czech champion.
“The organization of the game, the communication on the field and the position and reaction to the situation must be much better from everyone,” he appealed.
According to him, Slavists must play more aggressively and consistently. “We had a lot of lost personal fights, we lacked aggression in ball fights. Matches are decided in the penalty areas, we know that and we say it all the time. We had about 30 situations on the side of the penalty area and 70 percent of the cases we hit the first player, “Trpišovský did not understand a number of wasted situations.
“On the contrary, we will leave an unoccupied player in the lime, with the goal collected it was Baroque from us,” he reminded the legendary statement of the former coach of the Czech national team, Karel Brückner, about a bad defense.
“You can’t do these things in Europe at this level. We have experience from last year and the year before, how hard it is to play these matches. A lot of players who play it now have to realize that. , it will be very difficult to succeed in such matches, “Trpišovský repeated.
His charges dropped to third place in the group. They are already losing four points to the leader Feyenoord, and a point to Haifa. The last is Union Berlin, which Slavia defeated at home at the beginning of the group 3: 1.
“For the second time in a row we didn’t get a point. After three rounds we only have three points, it’s not an easy position. Every loss in each table hurts. It puts us in the role that we need to grab the maximum number of points in the remaining matches,” said Trpišovský.
“It was clear from the beginning that everyone in the group can beat everyone. We have already played with each team. So we know what awaits us, what the quality of the opponents is. And that in many attributes we have to improve and play a match like home with Union. , “he roared.
