Sparta football captain Bořek Dočkal after Sunday’s 1: 3 loss in Pilsen, where his team showed a tragic performance in the Fortuna: League hit, felt frustrated that the home team did not receive the cards they thought they should have received for fouls.
The main referee Pavel Franěk dealt a total of seven yellow cards in the match, three for the home team and four for the guests.
“It can be expected that the match will be strong and that there will be fouls. It would only be nice if they are fouls on the card, so that the cards come,” Dočkal said angrily in an interview for club television.
“Then the opponent plays differently when he makes two or three fouls and he still plays without cards in the back. Then it is played well,” continued the midfielder of Letenské.
“That must have been taken into account, we knew we had to harden and go to the fights too. At the beginning, I was a little frustrated that the cards weren’t coming. When we got into some promising action, it was interrupted by a foul, which is fine, so the opponent wants to play. But unfortunately the cards they had did not come there today, “said Dočkal.
Sparta failed to manage the first half, which it lost 0: 3 after the goals of Pavel Bucha, Zdeněk Ondrášek and Lukáš Hejda. Only in the setting of the second half did Ladislav Krejčí Jr. alleviate the defeat of the people of Prague. Bucha opened the score after a gross mistake by defender Dominik Plechatý during the pass.
“Paradoxically, we had a pretty good entry into the match, we collected most of the bounced second balls. We were more on the balloon in the first goal. “it doesn’t have to create a chance for him to take the lead. That is very decisive in such matches,” said Dočkal.
“Pilsen didn’t really care about any extra pass or combination from behind. They just kicked it forward and they had it well built, they pressed us and wanted to get balloons and have quick transitions. By taking the lead, it was only good for their game, “added the Spartan captain.
For the first time in this first league season, the Letna team did not win and fell to second place in the table by a point behind the championship Slavia. Coach Václav Kotal’s charges thus did not follow up on Thursday’s 4: 1 triumph over Celtic Glasgow in the European League group, during which Dočkal did not figure in the basic line-up.
“Overall, we didn’t get into any chances. We obviously tried to do something with the match, be more aggressive, access more quickly and try to dramatize the match with a goal… It was difficult to force Pilsen to make a mistake and get into some more coherent pressure,” he said. He waited.
