The third attempt at the semifinals, Slavia is inspired by a group from 1996. The final? A dream rather than a goal

Rotterdam (from our rapporteur) – The ride of Vladimír Šmicr, Karel Poborský, Jan Suchopárek et al., Which was cut off in 1996 by Bordeaux and Zinédin Zidan, inspires their current followers. “It simply came to our notice then. It would be nice to balance it, “thinks the red and white coach Jindřich Trpišovský.

“When I was a little boy, I asked my dad if any Czech club had won the European Cup. It felt like science fiction. We are now in the quarterfinals for the third time. When we advanced to it for the first time through Seville, it was an exceptional experience, “says the bench commander, who was sewn almost romantically.

Then in the spring of 2019, Chelsea unpacked his team from the European League, a year ago in the same phase of the same Arsenal competition. “We lost twice to Chelsea, we drew at Arsenal and then we lost at home. I hope that it will have an upward trend, “Trpišovský believes.

His party has changed during that time, support from the first successful journey through Europe such as Tomáš Souček, Vladimír Coufal or African trackers Michael Ngadeu and Simon Deli are already rolling at other addresses. The team was bleeding, sending new faces to the world. Now he relies on beginning leaders, such as Ondřej Lingr. Some have experienced the previous two quarters, some one, some none.

Can Feyenoord be a more viable opponent than the English giants? “I do not think so at all. This season was the most challenging opponent we played against in Europe, “rejects such theories defensive universal and key figure of the team Tomáš Holeš.

But he also feels a huge chance, he wants to break the elimination line and break through among the best four of the newly created European competition. “We have a huge motivation to play the semifinals,” admits the Czech national team. And there was also a speech in the finals. Holeš.

Slavia clashed with Feyenoord in the autumn in the basic group of the Conference League, lost 1: 2 outside, and drew 2: 2 at home. “He was one of the strongest and most unpleasant rivals we have met in the last two years. Already after the autumn match in Prague, I guessed that they would go far. We didn’t want them, but since we didn’t beat them once, we now have a huge motivation to break it, “Trpišovský notes.

“You can’t get the wrong team in the quarterfinals of any competition. Chances are I see fifty to fifty. Let’s talk about it. We will be maximally concentrated, “promises the Slavic strategist.
