At the same time, the Danish coach claimed a week ago that Panák will be available for the weekend league duel with Dukla. Which didn’t happen. As in the previous four matches, Ladislav Krejčí’s successor did not intervene in the game. Why?
“Sure, you may think I’m a liar. You know, it’s a small thing that can have a far-reaching impact in the end. Loading the player back into match mode is key. If we speed something up, it could have long-term consequences for Filip,” said Friis.
He did not reveal what health problem it was. “I say again that nothing serious happened. We just had to slightly alter the plan for his return to the field. I believe that Filip will start in the near future,” said Friis.
It is said that the player himself will have the main say regarding the return to the lawns. “It’s all about collaboration. I work with people, not machines that you give an instruction to and they automatically do it. Yes, sometimes it would be easier to work with machines. But the most important thing is the feeling of the player himself. Not only in the case of Filip,” stated Friis.
Whoever puts on the Summer Captain’s armband on Tuesday is in the stars. In each of the five games of the new season, Sparta had a different captain. After Panák’s injury, Asger Sörensen, Qazim Laci, Lukáš Sadílek and David Pavelka took turns in this role, forming a five-member “captain’s” group with Panák. “For example, Laci is a good type of captain. But we have more options, we will choose a captain. The only thing I can say now is that it won’t be Filip Panák,” Friis concluded.
