Slavia drew with Olympiakos Piraeus in the first preparatory match of the summer camp. Three players made their debut, the defender David Douděra evaluated the match for the club website. What he said?
Hard work awaits Douder in Slavia. The vice-champion bought it as a replacement for Alexander Bah, who may have outperformed his predecessor Vladimir Coufal. In any case, both now work in leading European clubs.
In Mladá Boleslav, stitching has been happy to fish for the last year. David Jurásek and Daniel Fila arrived next to Douděra in the winter, and Ewerton in the summer. It was Douděra and Ewerton who had their premieres in Slavia against Olympiakos.
“It was such a baptism of fire for me. So far in my career, I have had friends like Varnsdorf or Vlašim. I don’t want to knock anyone down, but when I saw what their friends would be like, it was really a baptism of fire for me. For me personally, it is an incredible experience. I will try to give Slavia everything that is in me, the kind of scratching that I have in me, “ said Douděra for the club website.
Douděra was attracted by the interest of leading Czech clubs mainly thanks to the excellent spring part of the season. He moved from the position of Beka to the wing and closed the year with ten goals scored and four assists.
Although his strength lies mainly in the starts for defense, the ending and the attack in general, in Wednesday’s friendly match he did not really get into the attack. On the other hand, he did not make a fuss in defense.
“It simply came to my notice then. I’ll take it, I didn’t play as far in advance as I’m used to. I don’t want to make excuses, these were clear mistakes on my part. I didn’t play a lot of balloons up, “ the summer reinforcement from Boleslav continued.
Due to the typology of Douděra, it can be expected that he will start in line with Lukáš Masopust. Both can attack and defend, they use the stitching of the rotation of the wings with the backs under Trpišovský, it worked for Masopust with Coufal and Bah.
Douder was fired mainly from the post of extreme midfielder, so it is proposed that the more defensive position from the first minute be taken by Masopust. He has experience with this position, he played it all autumn 2020 and has been jumping here from time to time.
“I don’t care how it goes. It will be more or less according to the opponent and according to how the coaches decide. It used to suit me internally on the back, but after last season I came to the conclusion that I didn’t really care. Slavia plays such an offensive style that the position of the back is basically the position of the wing, “ added Douděra.
