Witnesses Sáček, Dočkal, Juliš and Pulkrab will never forget the literally chilling lesson. In the proverbial Russian winter after Konatta’s short circuit, Sparta finished ten in Rostov and suffered a four-goal debacle. Plichta in domestic retaliation logically meant elimination.
–
Revenge after five years was not exactly idyllic. The fourteenth team of the Russian top competition started unnecessarily sharply, the interventions of its players were taken away by injuries Krejčí Jr. and later also Vitík. The good news for Letenská, on the other hand, is that, for the first time since the July retaliation with Rapid Vienna after a long injury, the Danish defender Höjer took over.

Haraslín opened the score in the first half, Muchin sent the second goal into his own net after Čvančar’s shot.
–
The Letna team also won the second duel of winter training, they still defeated Chrudim 5: 0 in Strahov. In total, at the end of the autumn part, the Prague team collected a single goal in the last five matches.

“We are happy for a clean sheet. We also kept some in the season, but there weren’t many of them. Every zero will please and add confidence, “says stopper Filip Panák for club television.
–
The people of Prague hope that the injuries of Krejčí and Vitík will not be serious. The first half was very severe, after the break emotions waned. “It’s usually the case at training camps. As long as the players are here, they tend to be more irritated. The referee did not add much to that either, “Zdeněk Bečka, assistant coach, is on the move.
–
“We are satisfied with the result, but there were also mistakes that we have to evaluate and work on before the end of the focus,” he adds.
–
The first planned duel in Spain with Admiral has dropped out, Sparta will still compete with Lokomotiv Moscow on Wednesday, where the Slavist Kuchta moved a few days ago.
