Sparta expects a lot from him. However, the captain is still catching up after a long absence. He finished the spring premiere in Olomouc completely exhausted in the reserve. He played in defense against Boleslav.
“I definitely feel better than a week ago. It was also due to the position at the back of the three, even when we had a lot of runs. I feel better week by week,” Ladislav Krejčí Jr. tells O2 TV Sport.
He scored the winning goal with a converted penalty. When referee Hocek ordered it after consultation with VAR, the stadium chanted Krejčí’s name.
“Overall, I’m happy for the support of the fans, even if we’re missing a boiler, which is a shame for all of us. But unfortunately. It licked the pole, I was hoping it would fall there,” responds the executor, who then sent a greeting to Hložek in the audience.
Krejčí together with the young Vydra replaced the absent stable stoppers Sörensen and Vitík in the defense. And Sparta in the new composition did not catch the beginning of the match.
“We had to make two changes in the back three, replace two important players, which played a role. Right at the start we faced three corners and the goal was scored from the last one. It was difficult for both Vydra and Krejčí, both of them are used to playing more in the middle of the field, not as full-backs,” explains coach Brian Priske.
“In the beginning, you could see that they were looking around, but over time they improved more and more. Their performance increased, they managed to keep the ball on the ground and play well. But it’s clear that if you lose Sörensen and Vitík, who were among the stable members of the starting line-up for the last fifteen games, it will show on the pitch,” adds the Danish coach.
