But circumstances demanded it. On Thursday, in improvised conditions, he received an individual award: He is the best coach of the season. “Sometimes it’s embarrassing to come for a price because I know how many people are around me. They also have a share in it, “said the coached coach.
He should get used to it. He received one trophy during the coronavirus break in March, when he became Coach of the Year (at that time it was a poll announced by the football association).
And then it was not yet certain that the Slavs would defend the title and improve their records (for example, the “table” – they collected 83 points a year ago, this year they improved it to 85 points). “I do not want to compare. Those conditions were different, “said Trpišovský.
True – and this brings us to why he bows and stings rivals stitched. The forty-four-year-old coach, who is known for his charisma or cap, has ascended the throne with a very different staff than a year ago. “I was just looking at the wall, where we have the names of the players who were here at the time. I counted it and nineteen people left in a year, “he said.
The winter exodus did not throw him out either
Still, he managed. The sale of Simon Deli or Alex the King stopped. He was not decided even by the winter exodus (Tomáš Souček shines in England in September, the leader Milan Škoda and others have left). “It would be nice with many teams, but again we have no problem with the players missing the hunger for success,” thought Trpišovský.
By the way, when it comes to change… In the shadow of all the celebrations, it turned out that he was the one who was able to involve Nico Stanciu in the game. And so the Romanian footballer (the best foreigner in the league) announced it himself: “I used to be good in attack, but not so well in defense,” he mentioned. And he added a trifle, which is more than essential in the whole context. “Coach is the reason why I returned to the Czech Republic and why I chose Slavia.”
The hymn could continue. Stitchers lost four matches last season. They stumbled only twice this year! And that defense. Unseen!
But there is still room for improvement, such as efficiency. The Slavists lacked a real gunner. Goal killer. Peter Olayinka and Stanislav Tecl were able to burn the biggest tutovky. “We are challenging for attackers. We give them a lot of tasks, few of them last ninety minutes, “said the coach.
After the coronavirus pause, the “joker” Petar Musa began to appear interesting. “He is a born shooter. He can stand out in the best leagues, but he still has to work on a lot of things, “the coach added.
One thing is certain: he (and his colleagues) will certainly help him with that.
