Liberec obviously did not come for the victory, but rather wanted to save support for the match to advance to the preliminary round of the European League. And it was clear on the field who was dominating. Pilsen footballers kept the ball on their feet for over eighty percent of the time, which is a rarely seen statistic.
“It simply came to our notice then. In addition, we added solid defense work during the opponent’s breaks, fast and aggressive attacks. But we will always want to work on all this, players have the potential to be at an even higher level in this respect, “he mused ball.
However, he could not find too many mistakes in the performance of his charges. Of course, the opponent was fearful and seldom crossed the halfway line in the first half, but if Pilsen did not play with such clarity and comfort, the North Bohemians would certainly be much more angry.
The most important thing is that I said goodbye on the field, enjoying Hubník |
When it was almost clear that Viktoria would win for victory, the Slovak coach whistled at the warm-up Roman Hubník. You’re going into the game! The farewell central defender, who is heading home to Olomouc, played the last half hour.
“We have agreed on several possible strategies. In the end, we decided for Roman to lead the team to a victorious end as a captain, “explained Guľa. “He accepted it, for which I am very grateful. I’m proud of the others, they did a great job. Roman was able to fully enjoy the applause from the audience and his family. “
Victoria now has a coveted pause. It will not be long, as on July 22 the acting vice-champion will pass the pre-season tests and two days later he will start the preparation. But the ball denies that he is particularly looking forward to the holiday.
“Above all, I’m happy to be with such players in such a big club. I’m grateful to be able to work here. Every day we try to work hard with the implementation team and give the boys the maximum, “he said.
He does not have an easy task. It is not yet clear at all when and how the new year of the domestic top competition will begin. There is also a variant in the game that the first sharp fight for Pilsen will be the preliminary round of the Champions League. And it’s always annoying. Especially this year, when there are no double matches, but only one match for everything.
“It will definitely be our goal to prepare the team for the European scene. There will only be one duel, which is specific, but we have to be stronger. We want to put Victoria back in the basic group of the European competition. I believe that with the support of the fans, we will be successful both in the league and in the cups, “said Guľa, who replaced Pavel Vrba in the coaching position before the spring part of the season.
