After four draws came the fifth. Sparta did not manage the match against Baník Ostrava, which they had on their wish list, but the failure to convert the chances meant that the opponent dominated at the beginning and then the fears came true. What coach Brian Priske said after the game.
In the ninth round, Sparta hosted Ostrava Baník at Letná and it was expected that the home team could finally start. The start of the match hinted that the good performance was caused by Lukáš Sadílek’s first goal.
However, later there were several unconverted opportunities, so the opponent was punished. Jiří Klím shot over the goal line immediately after arriving on the pitch, which gave the keeper no chance.
“We can’t score any more goals. As for the defense, after Teplice I told the players that their work on the goals conceded was not good. I can’t say it today, because, as I said, the opponent scored a goal with a single shot, which was 22 meters. You can’t prepare for that, ” coach Priske said after the game.
The performance in the second half was once again insufficient and even if it cannot be said that Baník deserved a point gain for his goal, in short, Sparta will not collect three points regularly with such performances.
For this reason, fans were disappointed and angry with Letné. A handful of fans from the cauldron also fired rockets at them, which meant that the traditional thanksgiving had to take place away from the cauldron.
“First of all I would like to say that everyone in the club respects the fans. As for throwing fireworks on the pitch, we went there to show them respect for supporting the team, for putting pressure on the opponents and the act not I liked it for nothing.
On the other hand, all of us in the club know the importance of fans for the club. We are as dissatisfied as the fans. I think we have not lost them, because they are very important to us. I believe that the results will come considering what teamwork is and that they will come sooner rather than later. “ He added.
