Although the Glasgow Rangers will retaliate for the round of the European League with Slavia with a comfortable 1: 1 result in the back, they are very careful towards retaliation. “Slavia showed us how fantastic and well-organized the team is,” admits coach Steven Gerrard.
“The odds are 50 to 50,” home coach Steven Gerrard said before the match at Ibrox Stadium. Usually it’s a common phrase, but the Liverpool legend took his prediction very seriously. The coaches and footballers of the Scottish big club are not very successful in trying to cover up how surprised they were from the first match in Eden, in which Slavia clearly dominated.
“It was probably the toughest opponent we could face. The Slavists play at a huge pace and switch very quickly. It was an island match against an opponent who likes to play at high intensity. At the beginning we were a little shocked,” Gerrard said after the first encounter. .
Brian Laudrup also warns his former club against red and whites, who played more than 100 matches in the Gers jersey in the 1990s. His biggest fear is from the Senegalese comet Abdallah Sima, who, according to the former Danish attacker, is the man who is able to snatch the Scots’ dream of the quarterfinals.
“I watched Slavia closely during her victory in Leicester (2: 0). She left a huge impression on me and the Rangers will make trouble on Thursday night,” said the 1992 European champion.
According to him, everyone thought that after the goalless draw of the Fox, the Czech champion would arrive at home. “But the Czechs played so cleverly that evening … With a great result, they sent a warning signal to all potential rivals in Europe about the quality of their quality,” says Laudrup.
The unambiguous course of the first match, in which the Rangers saved only the escalator intervention of goalkeeper Allan McGregor, was reflected in the accepted bets. Although the staplers have a worse starting position than in the case of the match with Leicester, most fans still trust Slavia.
“Fortuny FC’s favorite bookmakers are the favorite Rangers FC at 1.63, who rested over the weekend, and coach Gerrard can send a pair of Balogun-Roofs to the lineup. 80% to 20% in favor of the Czech team, “says Fortuny expert Roman Kovařík.
