Tiraspol (from our correspondent) – “We last spoke on Tuesday. I reckon we’ll call each other again after training,” Köstl outlined the intensity of communication between him and Trpišovský, who is absent due to a broken nose.
It is probably clear to everyone that the head coach manages the team even remotely, the lineup is subject to his approval. “Jindra has veto power. Logically, he’s the head coach. But we’re debating, the players have known the starting line-up for about two days now,” the assistant smiled. Recently, Trpišovský has always revealed one name before the match, which will jump in from the first minute. Köstl did not follow up on him. “Lukáš Provod will not be the captain,” he said without further details.
Other matters will be solved by the coaching duo during the match itself. That is, if it is possible. “We also experienced an outing without Jindra at Fenerbahce. It’s not an ideal situation, and it’s worse with the operators here. We will try to connect at halftime, it will be more difficult during the game. But we communicate intensively,” Köstl pointed out.
Trpišovský was injured last week during a seemingly harmless fight with players. He did not train for the weekend match with České Budějovice, but Köstl already represented him at the press conference. And on Tuesday around noon, it became clear that the head coach would also miss the four-day trip to Transnistria.
“It’s certainly not pleasant, hopefully the boss will recover soon and be with us. But we have been together for a long time to handle the situation even in this composition,” states the all-rounder Lukáš Provod.
Another assistant, Zdeněk Houštecký, will also be missing from the substitutes, who will serve a one-match ban from UEFA for behavior in the bowels of the stadium during the match with AS Rome.
“I believe that it will not affect the team in any way. We know how anyone behaves, hopefully the players won’t feel anything,” hopes Köstl. And who will he go to for advice? “We’ll see how it goes with the technological aids, but Kolář, Černý, Řehák will be on the bench,” he adds before Thursday’s match, which starts at 21:00 CET, with an hour more in Tiraspol.
