Slavia had scoring opportunities on Hana, but did not behave well in the end. “I see a big difference in how we deal with chances when we are leading and when we are catching up. Depending on the course of the match, the result could easily have been the other way around, but that’s football. Sigma’s first goal followed Jiří Sláma’s absence, we left him plenty of time and space to finish. We had many opportunities to turn the game around, but what was most alarming was our laxity and lack of emphasis in personal battles,” Trpišovský was angry.
The second goal was scored by the seamers after the action, after which they had already conceded several times in the season. A long ball, lazily starting defenders and the goal, A simple pattern that applies to the red and white. “When you lose the fight after a long kick from the goalkeeper and the opponent goes to the goal all by himself, it is punishable. That’s exactly what happened. It’s one thing to win or lose the fight, it’s another thing how you go about it. Since the summer, we have been making mistakes in these situations for a long time, we let the player get ahead of us and he passes the ball behind us,” the Slavist coach pointed out.
“The more you draw attention to certain situations, paradoxically sometimes it gets worse. I don’t know what else to do, we knew what was coming. We played the players of Olomouc on video, we showed them their typology,” shrugged Trpišovský.
Stopper Taras Kačaraba hesitated with the second goal, who had a negative part in the goal conceded on Thursday against Cluj, with whom Slavia lost 0:1. Not even Aiham Ousou exuded confidence. “He can’t get into a situation where in the 70th minute we have both stoppers on yellow cards and we’re losing one fight after another. It’s one thing to lose a fight, it’s another to secure a dropped ball, we’re still outnumbered. And the third is that if we manage to win the head, we will lose the fight for the bounced ball. Paradoxically, we are able to defend running situations very well, game situations, but we have a big problem with this,” stated Trpišovský.
“Frankly, I’m saying that’s why Taras is in the team, he has a huge jump, over fifty-five centimeters, he’s strong in headers, in head games in general. We don’t have that many players like that. We want it to be his priority, his domain. That is why he is the target of criticism, I talk about it, we play the situation on video. But he simply has to make his own decision on the pitch and handle the situation,” said the captain of the bench of the players stitched to Kačarab.

On the contrary, he appreciated the performance of Olomouc’s Mojmír Chytil, who embellished a great performance with a beautiful goal. “He played great. We know he likes these types of matches. He surprised me with that goal with his left foot, I don’t even know when was the last time I saw him shoot with his left foot like that. It was a great shot that matched the confidence he had throughout the match. On the other hand, we also made it possible for him by the way we played him. But this only confirms the performances that he repeats this season. He is in better shape and strength than he was before. Or at least that’s how it seems to me,” he praised the Trpišovský striker of Sigma.
