“It’s just a shame that the match didn’t end 1:1 or maybe 2:2 so that the spectators could see some goals,” he regrets. According to him, it was a typical opening match of the season. . Everyone naturally wants to score points right from the start, so as not to fall asleep at the start. Both teams could have won with a little luck, but given the course of the match, I consider the draw well-deserved,” says Hoftych.
The match was played on a difficult pitch as persistent rain drenched the pitch in front. And after a break he started again. “Football players sometimes complain in the summer that the pitch is not sprinkled. This time they were sprinkled quite a bit,” smiles coach Boleslav. “Especially in the second half, when the downpour returned again, it was very challenging for the players. They had to be very careful. Every slip could have been fatal for the final result. Fortunately, we were well shod. We made it,” he cheered.
At one point, however, Hoftych got really stiff on the bench. Less than a quarter of an hour before the end, Daniel Mareček, midfielder of the Central Bohemian team, wanted to divert the ball to safety, but inadvertently hit the right post of his own goal. “If the ball had ended up in the net, it would have been an extremely unlucky moment for us. At that moment, we were already preparing for Mareček’s replacement,” revealed the coach from Boleslav.
According to him, the offensive attacks of the Zlín attackers were also unpleasant. “We were angered by the fast-footed Vukadinović and after him by the substitute Silný. Offensive fighters are understandably at a considerable advantage on wet turf compared to defenders. But we managed with them,” Hoftych is happy.
He calculated that his team had created one more big shooting opportunity. “However, a minute before the end, our goalkeeper Polaček caught Silné tutovka, so we take the tie,” he is clear. Hoftych praised the 40-year-old veteran Marek Matějovský. “In Zlín, he once again proved that he is still doing incredibly well both physically and in the game,” he values his contribution Mladá Boleslav spílmachr.
