Hapal’s Relief: Sparta & Divine Intervention

Baník fulfilled the role of the Baník, but he did not impress the performance too much. After a 3: 2 win on the second league Ceske Budejovice, although he advanced to the next stage of the MOL Cup, he showed clear dominance on the green chick of the shooting island only at the beginning of the second half. The Ostrava coach Pavel Hapal had to enjoy the result.

The winning goal was up to 90 minutes, it probably wasn’t the scenario to your liking, wasn’t it?
“We get goals from every little mistake, which happened three minutes before the end. But I’m glad we could react and advance to it. It was a typical cup match with a happy ending for us.”

You sent a different eleven to the match than it ran in Mladá Boleslav on Sunday. How much did the fact that you have only two days of rest before the match with Sparta influenced the decision -making?
“We certainly had it in our heads, at the same time we wanted to give the chance to other players. We left only a plank from the match with Boleslav, otherwise there were ten changes. We planned that, the goal was to save strength.

The procedure was not easily born, in the first half Baník practically did not shoot at the gate, moreover, he lost after the goal Sundaye.
“We did not enter the match completely, but we did not work, we played slowly. We tried to change the distribution, but after a unique chance of the opponent we collected. Then they had another chance.

What happened about a break in the cabin? Were you very loud?
“I wasn’t loud, nor did I scream. I appealed to the boys in some way that it could be turned. The boys themselves knew it wasn’t good, especially encouraging. She helped us alternation and the second half was completely different.

Would you find in addition to the result of the positive in this match?
“In the first half I saw mainly the negative in our game, in style, deployment and quality. There were more positive things, we managed to score three goals, which we did not long.

What importance do you attach to the home cup? Does it have the same priority as the league?
“We want to succeed in the league and the Cup. You saw last year that we dropped out in the semifinals with the Olomouc, so we take both competitions prestigiously. The important thing is that we won, it is a big encouragement before the match with Sparta.

What do you say about the elimination of Olomouc in Nové Sady, is it a shock for you?
“The surprise is certainly, not for me, rather for Olomouc. I do not know what was happening there. It’s a cup, it’s not easy with anyone. The new sets had a great motivation, most of the boys went through the Olomouc and now they probably enjoy it there.”
