The December preparatory block with Letenský is coming to an end. Perhaps next week they could introduce some reinforcements. In a way, they will also include regular players who have been absent for a long time. Ladislav Krejčí Jr. and Ondřej Čelůstka.
“Krejčí has now passed physical tests and is looking better and better. The jaw is also working hard on itself and making progress. Hopefully he will join us on the pitch in January,” Brian Priske announces hopeful news to the fans.
He looks around at his apartment in Prague and enjoys the Christmas atmosphere.
“I walked around the city a bit and also the part where I live. There are beautiful markets in Vinohrady. It’s great at the moment, it’s cold. I hope there will still be time for me to walk more and soak up the atmosphere,” Priske smiles.
Everyone wants to be home for Christmas. Likewise the Danish coach.
???? PRISKE | “I’m really happy with the attitude of the players. They showed exactly the mentality we are looking for and will need in the next five months.”

“I hope my family is waiting for me at home. I’m going home next week. I’m going to spend time with my family and enjoy it with them,” she can’t wait.
However, he will watch the weekend end of the World Championship in Qatar from Prague.
“I’m looking forward to the final between Argentina and France. In my opinion, it’s 50/50. In some ways, Messi deserves to win the championship. It will be a tough 90 minutes for both teams. Whoever defends better will also create chances in attack,” advises the Danish international.
The tournament is an inspiration for every coach.
“When we look at the championship as a whole, we see a pattern where teams defend very well and compactly. It seems to me that a lot of goals are scored from counter-attacks. More free space is created,” he observes. “Look at France. Sometimes they leave the initiative to the opponent. That surprises me a bit,” muses Priske.
