Expelling Willows from Sparta makes sense. But the manchaft must also undergo a change, says Švancara

“I did not expect Sparta to take over Pilsen at all. I did not find anything positive in its performance,” says former forward Petr Švancara in a league commentary for Aktuálně.cz.

After a shameful performance in Pilsen, Sparta’s management dismissed coach Pavel Vrba. That’s the way it is in Sparta, if there are no results, you can easily lose matches like in Olomouc or now in Pilsen, when you have no chances, the coach changes.

It makes a little sense to me that the management wants to set it a little differently before the final match in the cup against Slovácko, they don’t want to wait for further disappointment. But I do not know how. I’ve been watching Sparta all season and the chorus of the song is still the same: they’re not leaders, they have no inner strength, nothing. As soon as he gets a goal, which happened again in Pilsen, he has a problem going back to the match, creating pressure, scoring a goal.

I did not expect Sparta to take over Pilsen at all. I didn’t find anything worth talking about. Čvančara’s only chance, even though she played a power play for quite some time, is very sad. I don’t understand Dočkal’s rotation, which Pavelka is following, and nothing will change that. The moment player, who is able to solve the situation with a beautiful balloon, can kick standards, but does not bring anything else. Pavelka arrives and the game doesn’t move anywhere.

As I say, leaders are missing. I thought one of them would be Pešek, but he also fell into the average. Like Hložek, who hasn’t been bounced lately. In addition, the club must create goalie quality. The manchaft has to go through a thorough change, otherwise it will not work.

I also heard opinions on why she should also help the hated rival. But this is rolling around Prague, we in Moravia do not care at all where club relations go everywhere. When I was in Slavia, we were still tackling Sparta, even though we didn’t play against her or be a direct competitor in the table. And it’s clear to me that it’s the other way around. The Spartans do not want Slavia’s title, they would rather see it in Pilsen, but I would not look for a reason why it has not succeeded against Viktorka now. We would just throw a crutch to Sparta to somehow justify the terrible performance.

On the contrary, Pilsen is able to prepare for each opponent, it can find a different tactic, coach Bílek admitted in the press, in addition, it can help with the standard in every match. He’s after the title. The boys are already set for him, they will do anything to get Slavia to take him. They play responsibly, you don’t see unnecessary fouls, sometimes the hardness exceeds the edge, so they have the most eliminated, but the team has a great defense. And when someone gets hurt, the deputy quickly fits. To do this, they have an excellent striker and shooter Beauguel.

However, this does not mean that the title is decided. The difference remained two points, one failed match. And Pilsen is competing against Hradec, with whom it has already lost in the autumn. It will be a very unpleasant match for her. I don’t know how Hradec will approach it, if he will play as offensively as against Slavia, where, however, he changed everything he had. I am especially looking forward to the match.

We all agree that Plavšič’s goal against Slovácko was great. There are also bonuses, because he is a pronounced lefty and he hit this beautiful right one. Even the solution to how the balloon quickly processed and sent it there. Fortunately for him, Hofmann has got across to cover him and plays it safe and gives away the corner. Trefa without debate will run for Goal of the Year and beware – it was very important.

Until then, Slovácko played very well. High up, Cecilia and Jurečka were very uncomfortable for the Slavic pass. Sparta can save the season a bit, but I don’t think it will be that easy, especially when Slovácko plays at home. When I compare the performances of both teams in Pilsen and Slavia, I see who is better at football.

Former league forward, one of the greatest talents in Czech football at the time. In the highest competition, he played 309 matches for nine different clubs, including Slavia and Zbrojovka Brno, in which he scored 59 goals.

In the middle group, Mladá Boleslav won in České Budějovice, now in Olomouc. It was a special season for her, so jagged. Although she did not play badly many times, she did not have results under coach Jarolím, she received a lot of goals. A new coach came and took the opportunity to revive the team. In my opinion, the team will be suitably supplemented by unwanted players from Prague clubs in the summer. Boleslav is economically strong, the management will give Hofť space to work and will play much higher again next year. I estimate that he will replace someone in the top five from the Slovácko-Baník pair.

Bohemka scored four goals in the first half. If anyone had a logical explanation, they would deserve a diploma. It’s nice that football doesn’t have an explanation many times. Maybe it’s just that she’s finally started to change her chances. She always created at least two tutovky, but she didn’t give them, she managed it in Zlín. I’m just saying we want Bohemka in the league. It has great fans, it’s a traditional club, it’s only good that it’s heading to the rescue.

The struggle for retention will be even more interesting. I have a well-loaded second league, I’m curious how the team that falls into the playoffs will handle it. Wednesday’s round will tell us a lot.
