Slavia advanced to the eighth finals of the European Conference League on Thursday after winning 3: 2 over Fenerbahce, but Alexander Bah’s injury is a stumbling block to this success. What did coach Jindřich Trpišovský say to him?
Slavia managed the first half of the match with Fenerbahce to excellent. She entered the match well, dominated the ball and, thanks to Ivan Schranz and Yira Sora, led 2: 1 half before. But in the setting came kaňka.
Alexander Bah remained on the ground after one of the fights. The Danish fast right back and the team’s support held their knees and left the field with the help of two paramedics after a long treatment.
“He felt some discomfort in his knee after the bullet. I don’t even know if it was a bullet from the torpedo he fired around the corner. So then he felt some pain, which then escalated, “ said Trpišovský on press conference.
Ondřej Lingr took the place of Bah in the second half and the staplers regrouped. Ivan Schranz moved to the right edge of the defense and Srdjan Plavšič to the position of the left wing. Lingr worked in the middle of the field.
Schranz handled the unconventional position well. It was obvious that he played here a week ago and it was not his first match in defense. In addition, Peter Olayinka helped the Slovak national team a lot, or they often rotated on the right side.
“Bah will resonate and we’ll see. But of course it was a pain in the knee after that shot, and it meant that Ivan had to go back to the back, and then we prayed that the Olayinka and Plavšič wing players would finish it for us. “ Slavia’s coach continued.
More information about the condition of Baha’s knee has not been published yet, although he is one of the team’s stars. Its importance is underlined by the fact that in the spring he assisted in both red and white league goals (against Slovácko and Bohemians).
Fortunately for Slavia, another right defender, Lukáš Masopust, should already be healed for Sunday’s encounter with Hradec Králové. An experienced national team member has been on the run since the opening spring round with Karviná (0: 1).
“There weren’t many of those variants, on the other hand, on Friday Lukáš Masopust will join the full training, so I hope he will be with us on Sunday,” added Trpišovský.
