Under-21 international Ševčík flew like a comet this year, but at the beginning of October there was a period in which he recorded “only” one assist in three duels. He often came on earlier than usual and coach Richard Dostálek reported that he needed more hard-working performance from his support than him.
“I wouldn’t make a science out of it, it was just a few duels when my performance was perhaps not entirely optimal. I guess I didn’t get into the game much and didn’t believe much in the ball. But I hope the winning streak is over forever and I will continue with what is happening right now, “says the 20-year-old attacking midfielder.
However, from the cup duel with Táborsk, he is once again to dominate the championship meadows. He has a record of 3 + 2 in the last four official races and, above all, Zbrojovka has managed to win three.
“The opponents are preparing for him, Michal tries to give the best performance he is currently capable of in every match. He is given much more attention, for example with České Budějovice, he found space and opportunities only in the second half. And transformed. . Michal plays football excellently and it always depends on what the opponent allows you to do, “Dostálek rated after Saturday’s 2: 3 defeat in Jihočechy.
The Brno duo reigns supreme in statistics
And how does the young player himself evaluate his form? “Let’s hope so,” he replies to the question whether Michal Ševčík has definitely returned since the start of the season. His numbers are great. He scored seven goals in 14 rounds and assisted in the other five. He has the same points as Slavia striker Stanislav Tecl (9 + 3) and in front only the attacking partner of Zbrojovka and the best scorer of the championship Fortuna Jakub Řezníček (10 + 3).
Not only the attacking duo will face a tough test on Wednesday. As part of the playoffs of the 4th round, leaders Viktoria Plzeň goes to the ground (17:00). If Brno manage to triumph, they will join Hradec Králové in fourth place.
“We want to prepare and rehabilitate ourselves for the performance shown in the first half against Budějovice. Even if in Pilsen we manage to put ourselves under pressure, which will probably happen if we find ourselves in a deeper block, I would like us to follow the tactical instructions and at least play a match interesting “, wishes coach Dostálek.
However, the statistics speak in favor of the whole of Western Bohemia. Plzeň have won their last seven league games between them, beating their home opponents in the top flight five times in a row.
