Pristina (from our correspondent) – Slavia increases their efforts, squeezing more and more in the Ballkani home. In the 75th minute, after a standard situation, Moses Usor returned the ball to the goal, which fell on David Jurásk. He immediately sends it to the far post, where Ondřej Lingr bends over for a cross and heads the ball. Precisely, hard, exactly how it is needed. The defender of the Kosovar team has just put the ball in the net. “It was clear that I was going to play with my head. I’m glad I gave enough momentum,” said the 24-year-old midfielder.
After the goal, he immediately ran into the fans section of his team. He hopped on the banners, ran across the running track and trotted up to the wall, where a horde of fans cheerfully patted him on the back. “I don’t even know how many people hugged me,” laughed the Slavic hero.
He had a party ready. “I thought about it before the game. I just had to get past the banners, but I did it. I loved it and I also wanted the fans to enjoy everything. We are very grateful that they came here to support us,” admitted Lingr.
As always, he squeezed. As always, he was absorbed in the game and his emotions welled up from him. When he went five minutes after the goal scored by the square, he taunted his teammates with clenched fists. “He is very important to us. His performance on the pitch hasn’t been good, but he may be in the right place. It’s a moment, lime player. That’s also why we left him on the pitch for so long.” , said the Slavic coach Jindřich Trpišovský.
“He is like a fish in water in lime. He knows how to finish those situations. And he is also a winning type. Even if he ruins nine balloons, he aims for the tenth. It is a very valuable quality,” added the coach, praising the scorer. After all, Lingr also counted on the recent league match against Mladá Boleslav, which the team beat even in a state of weakness.
They have since started. Then they defeated the second division Dukla in the cup, wiped out Sparta in the championship derby and now they have succeeded in Kosovo. “We are on the wave, we told ourselves that we will give them our heart, which we are doing well. We continued like this even after the derby, even though we were missing two key players from that match,” Lingr referred to the absence of the team. midfielder Jakub Hromada and striker Václav Jurečka, who were unable to play because they are not on the roster for the Conference League.
Slavia was helped by the arrival of Ewerton, the Brazilian allowed himself to go around the opponent, he was active. “He definitely helped, he kept his cool. This is what we wanted from him, we told him to take the ball and do what he is strongest at,” explained the Czech rep.
When he was substituted, he suffered on the bench. The end was hectic, at the beginning of the long setup, Ondřej Kolář took two big chances from the opponent. “He stank a lot, Koli held us back,” snorted Lingr.
But Slavia was not satisfied with Turkey’s result, Sivasspor overcame Cluj 3: 0. The embroiderers are not the masters of the situation. If Cluj beats Ballkani in a week, not even a victory over Sivasspor will save the red and white. “Unfortunately it is a complication, but we will still focus on ourselves and we want to win the last game,” Lingr replied to the sad news of the second game of the group.
