BRATISLAVA. He avoided clichés, did not speak typical coaching phrases. Coach Vladimír Weiss was direct again.
“Do you think so?” I don’t think so, “Weiss disagreed at a press conference with a journalist who indicated that the Slav attack was OK.
The Slovana footballers defeated Sereď 2-0 in the 16th round of the highest football competition. The reigning champion increased the lead over the second Trnava to eight points.
He draws a series of eight winning matches. However, Weiss was not satisfied, he did not spare the striker Ezekiel Henty in particular.

“Eza played well four games back, now three matches poorly because he doesn’t do what I want him to do,” Weiss added.

“I’m angry with him, he doesn’t have the weight he should have for the post. He doesn’t do what his ability, his predation and his speed require, “Weiss continued.
He had to drop, he told him
The Nigerian is the Fortuna League’s top scorer with nine goals. This season he is by far the best gunner of the Slovak champion. He has scored a total of fifteen times.
“He doesn’t have it right now because he’s gaining weight. He has to drop, I told him to. We’ll see how he copes with it. You can’t play football like the one a month ago, “Weiss added.
“If he had three or four kilograms less, he would turn better in key situations,” Weiss said.

The Nigerian striker in the service of the Bratislava Slavic Ezekiel Henty was depreciated last year.
Coach Darko Milanič did not trust him, under the leadership of the former coach Slovan he scored the only league goal.
Henta had heard from the rostrum how badly he could not. He was at the displeasure of the fans. Under Weiss, however, he came to life at the beginning of the season.
He woke up but fell asleep
Henty praised his cooperation with Weiss, calling him an army general. The African claimed to be playing his coach with all his heart.

“Too much sugar is harmful. He had a little, I don’t want to call it, a privilege. He woke up, but fell asleep again, “Weiss recalled.
“It’s a different Esa today, but it’s true for everyone. But I would come with him. “
According to Slovan’s coach, Henty was a different player in September and October, which is no longer the case.
“I, the journalists, praised him a little. Sometimes it has the opposite effect. I believe he will return to the old ways, “Weiss continued.
He made no secret of the fact that he was not happy with more players. He would prefer to swap six in the first half against Sered.

He expects more from the Englishman
“The staff is wide, but not everyone has what it takes to play for Slovan,” Weiss said.
He is also dissatisfied with the Englishman Andre Green, who scored his first league goal against Sered.
“He is one of the players I expect more from. He has an excellent school, a good foundation, something he can’t learn, “Weiss pointed out.
Green was one of the great talents of English football. He made his debut in the famous Premier League at the age of seventeen, in the Aston Villa jersey.
He represented England in all youth selections, up to the selection under the age of 20.
“She has to run harder, she has to be wilder. He is a young player, “Weiss added.

“When he arrived, he said he would lift people out of their seats, but not me. I believe that I will get something from him in the winter. ”
Conditions as in the Spanish league
Weiss admitted that Slovan made some transfers in a hurry.
“You won’t prepare a player in a month, and Green has come neglected.”
Slovan’s coach announced that changes would take place in the winter transition period. “We want to strengthen ourselves in two or three positions. We have players who try but do not have quality. They can’t blame them either. ”
“It is not easy to play or work in Slovan. I want us to play better football. The reinforcements that arrived in the summer do not turn out to be reinforcements. We have to do better with them, “he said. According to Weiss, some players can’t handle the psychological pressure.
