It was a motivation, a goal and a wish. Slavia managed to fulfill it. So far, the red and whites have won matches in European cups by a maximum of four goals. Gibraltarian midgets St Joseph’s were thrashed 7-0 in the return leg of the second preliminary round of the Conference League. “It was the motivation in the cabin. Coach Trpišovský warned us that it would be good to break the record when we have such an opportunity,” admitted offensive all-rounder Václav Jurečka, who started on the wing and scored a goal in front of fifteen thousand spectators in Eden.

“Towards the end, we thought about it. I know it’s difficult for the opponent, but we have to focus mainly on ourselves,” Trpišovský pointed out. “No one was injured, there was a great atmosphere. Some players tried the environment in Eden or other posts for the first time,” calculated the chief strategist of the stitched pros.

The Czech vice-champion fulfilled what he set out to do. “The main task was to get into the match with great activity, I think we succeeded. We wanted to take advantage of the fact that we have a weaker opponent on paper. We went into it wanting to win by the biggest possible margin. We didn’t let the opponent into anything except for one or two lunges. It’s a good motivation for the next matches, now we start the league with Hradec. I think we prepared well,” Jurečka enjoyed himself.

Slavia will face Hradec Králové on Sunday in its asylum in Mladá Boleslav. Next week on Thursday, in the third preliminary round of the Conference League, they will face a much more demanding task than the ambassadors from Gibraltar who enjoyed their visit to Prague. Panathinaikos Athens will arrive. “I think it will be a tough opponent. Now we have Hradec, we have to win that match, then when we have time to think about Panathinaikos. But I think we have the quality to handle it,” Jurečka pointed out.

Trpišovský has already studied the Greek team and knows that his team will sweat much more. “A difficult and challenging opponent. We saw some matches of Panathinaikos from the end of the season or the preparation with Leverkusen, when they played excellently and drew 0:0, Leverkusen practically did not let in a chance. It is a mature and comprehensive team. We know how unpleasant the opponent is, it is difficult to score goals against them. We have already spoken with Tomáš Vaclík (Czech goalkeeper of Olympiakos Piraeus). They have three dangerous players up front, the left wing is great, the playmaker at six is great. Significant for them is their great work with the ball, they know how to hold on to it and get out of it. It’s hard for them to come under pressure, it’s a very hardworking team,” Trpišovský shared his knowledge.

Czech football was also affected on Thursday morning, as Sparta was eliminated in Norway with Viking Stavanger in the same stage of the Conference League. This in turn will suffer the Czech coefficient. “Even if it’s a rival, it’s a Czech team,” sad Trpišovský.
–
“We saw that if we had played one or two extra good results last season or the season before, where it could have moved us in the coefficient rankings and we could all have been in a different position. But then fate is unpredictable. Even though we are about 30th among the clubs, we will still play Panathinaikos now. It always depends on the lot and the current state of mind,” said Trpišovský about the coefficient.
