After Cluj’s failure in the Conference League, the focus of the Slavic team sat down with the coaches. “There was a blanket over us. We had a pretty heated conversation. Those of us who have been here the longest said we have to blame ourselves,” said Ondřej Lingr after his 2: 1 win over Mladá Boleslaví. . Slavia ended a three-game losing streak.
He quickly drove against Středočechy, but soon had a big problem. The surprising stopper Oscar was sent off, the guests equalized from the spot. “Nothing pleasant. It happened to us in Pilsen, we couldn’t react there. Now we were mentally prepared to handle it,” said the offensive handyman of the red and white.
Vršovice’s side withstood two chances from Tomáš Ladra, then Lingr scored in the last minute of the first half. He ran into the penalty area and neatly blocked the ball into the net after Peter Olayinka’s cross. He was all alone. “I always get into the box like this from the center, Olie gave it to me in a fantastic way. I was full of shit, we played at ten. But I tried to fix it and I was rewarded,” Lingr described.
In the second half Slavia defended the advantage, the guests had only one chance. “We played very well as a team. Koli (goalkeeper Ondřej Kolář) kept us going. I have enormous respect for every member of the team,” exclaimed the winner.
Slavia is not in an easy situation, he has many injuries, even Lingr has not felt well twice. “But I like these games, I am doubly motivated. It was difficult, but I think our situation has tied us up. We do not seek excuses for injuries. I wanted to face him and I did. I hope to do well in the next games as well.” declared the 24-year-old worker.
A hard earned victory can help weaken the psyche of those who are stitched together. “We needed it. We told ourselves that no matter how we win. At ten, winning is immensely precious. Now we focus on the cup with Dukla, we hope everyone gives their best there. Then we have the derby. I think we can now break away.” , ordered Lingr.
