Are you clear about the lineup yet?
There are always minor changes and they will be against Tiraspol as well. We put together the lineup according to the current form and typology of the opponent. It is nice that we have a complete staff. That is, of course, except for players who are not on the roster for the Europa League.
Can you be more specific? Who will be at the forefront of the attack?
I will try to continue the tradition from Geneva, where I also revealed something, and we won. (smiles) Mojmír Chytil will be playing the lead from the beginning, he already knows about it. We have a challenging match ahead of us and we want to put together the lineup in such a way that we have a strong starting eleven and players who will be able to adjust it.

Are you expecting complications towards the offensive? Recently, Slavia has not been very productive.
It is about the typology and development of the match, including its beginning. For example, on Sunday in Teplice we only had three clear chances and it ended 0:0. We manage to have a lot of entries into the box and dangerous zones, but we need to get more players into the penalty area or help from the set piece.
Considering the recent league losses, aren’t you planning to change the line-up?
It can happen. We are preparing for two ways of playing, because even the opponent can switch from one set-up to another. Tiraspol is very hybrid in this. On the other hand, in the last five games we have conceded only one goal from a penalty, we are playing great defensively. The rest is about productivity.
Well, she’s rubbing against you now.
In addition to what I mentioned a moment ago, we need to stay solid defensively while adding more creativity in the final and pre-final stages. Plus getting more players into the box so that the attackers are more difficult to defend or for the players from the second row to assert themselves.
How crucial will this match be to promotion prospects? If you won, you would already have six points.
We don’t look at it that way. We take each match individually, just like two weeks ago in Geneva. We are not speculating as to what impact this may have on the table. We will want to win and give our best performance.
Is Tiraspol an outsider in your eyes?
This Tiraspol is different from a year ago, when Pilsen knocked it out in the Champions League qualifiers. The team is heavily supplemented by South Americans and other foreign players. Moreover, after their first game against AS Roma, I wouldn’t say that Tiraspol is an outsider. Even though he lost 1:2, it was an even match. Tiraspol’s players are confident and very interesting with the ball: they know when to hold it and when to use the forwards. We also have to pay attention to the Moroccan prankster Talal.
Slavia has bitter memories of Tiraspol, 14 years ago they unexpectedly knocked them out of the third preliminary round of the Champions League.
I had it first hand, sitting in Eden in the South Stand. At that time, I was training youth at Xaverova and still going to work, I took the morning shift. And I also remember that I had tickets from defender Matej Krajčík. Hopefully things will turn out better for us now. We want to start a new, more successful era.
