“I think the draw is deserved,” says Hradisho coach Martin Svědík, who missed Petržela and Vecheta. According to him, Sigma was better in the first half, but after the break, his players were on the ball much more often.
“We had the upper hand, from which we extracted a lot of set pieces. But the final phase didn’t go well for us. It was especially noticeable during Holzer’s leaks. Twice Mihálik was free, but he crossed the goal. We sent very few shots at the opponent’s goalkeeper,” the coach calculated the reasons why his team failed to score the winning goal this time.
It could have been even worse for the players from Hradišť if VAR had not called off in the first half due to Chytil’s offside, the leading Olomouc shot. “Initially I thought the goal would count. Fortunately, this time the video decided in our favor,” sighed the defender of Slovácko, Petr Reinberk. He was also much more satisfied with the second half. “We won most of the rebounds in it, and thanks to that we were much more in the game. Unfortunately, we did not manage to score “, he regretted.
On Friday, he lost a competitor to the edge of defense. Slovak defender Michal Tomič agreed on a transfer to Slavia, which immediately sent him on loan to Mladá Boleslav. “His departure is a weakness for us. Míša is a quality and very well-equipped footballer with speed. He was in excellent form at the end of the autumn. But he decided not to continue with us, so we have to manage without him,” Reinberk commented on the change of jersey of his recent partner.
On the other hand, goalkeeper Filip Nguyen, who is being lured by the leading club of the Vietnamese league from Hanoi, started for Slovácko against Hanák and kept a clean sheet. Coach Svědík continues to count on him. “I have to laugh when I read that we can get eighteen million crowns for him. The club did not receive such an offer. It’s funny to me that someone writes this. We now have the injured second goalkeeper Tomáš Fryšták and we have no idea how long he will be out due to knee problems. Theoretically, Filip can still leave until February 13, but we definitely cannot afford to release him now,” says the coach resolutely.
