The newcomers arranged for Líšeň to win with Šamorín, the coach tried substitutes for Kučera
Both of them are still on trial in the Líšeň complex. The French forward Toutou is without engagement after the summer end in the first-league Zlín, the reinforcement to the middle of the field has problems in Slovácko again. “I think that the situation around them will be resolved in the near future,” revealed the Lichen coach Milan Valachovič.
For the former shooter of Teplice, Tábor or Zlín, it is obvious that he came as a replacement for forward Jan Silný, who switched to first-league Jablonec at the start of winter training. On the other hand, Machalík is far from having the defensive advantages that Jakub Kučera, now a Hradec Králové player, played in the autumn part of the second league.
“We can have more alternatives and we definitely don’t have to play in the classic six. We will not bring the second Kučer, so we need to change something and we have two months to succeed, “Valachovič said.
Promise to Pelt and farewell in Líšeň. I’ll take the place, says Strong about the premier league challenge
Twenty-five players moved against Šamorín in the area below the forward, first next to Marek Matocha, then in the second half for almost thirty minutes next to Jaroslav Málek. And Machalík created the game, he was not afraid and in two minutes he stuck into the net of the center of the right defender Michal Bednář (he also assisted at the Toutou goal). “Machalík has the preconditions that he will get into it, and it was already clear in the first half that he was valid, and he also made a goal. It’s just a matter of training well with us and gaining gaming practice, “said Valachovič.
In the match against the second-league Slovak team, midfielder Marek Polášek from the Slovácko three-league reserve, whose first test the Brno team will first test, appeared in the Lichen jersey for the first time.
From the first minute, Václav Minařík, a returnee from a guest in Blansko, got a chance as a defensive midfielder. “Vena is our player and so far he works very well, she also looks decent in matches. I don’t want to overtake, but personally I think he will stay with us for the spring, “Valachovič thought.
Tom Ulbrich, who transferred to Líšeň in the summer, probably also counted as one of the replacements for Kučera. However, Valachovič placed him on the right back against Šavín, from this position of the twenty-three-year withdrawal of the ball, in the extreme case, he shot a shot. “Tom seems good to me on the right side, where we don’t have much of an alternative to Broňa Stáň when he is missing. And Tomáš gave good performances, he will allow himself with the ball on the field, but this time he lacked more peace in the end, he could have scored two goals, “said Ulbrich’s performance by an experienced strategist.
From bank to league. I hope to leave a mark on it, says Kučera after leaving Líšeň
His charges were more active especially in the first part of the game, paradoxically they created more chances only after the change of sides. In promising positions, they overshot the goal of rival Machalík and Ulbrich high. “All players have been given a chance in the match, the preparation is starting and the line-up is rotating. So far, the game lacks automatisms, but we wanted to try a higher presink, which we did. We didn’t have many opportunities in the first half, and three or four hundred percent in the second half. But most of all, I was pleased with the greater dominance, because we didn’t let the opponents stand a chance, they probably had only two corners and that’s all, “Valachovič delighted.
The next preparatory match will be played by Líšeň on Saturday against Slovan Bratislava. And the people of Brno have another month and a half to close the gap after Strong and Kučer, the first competitive match will take place on March 4 in Ústí nad Labem. Valachovič no longer expects further departures from the staff. “The first league starts in three weeks and the teams are already going to training camps and I don’t think anyone else should move to the top competition,” said the Líšeň coach.
He is also looking forward to the return of players from Marodka. Before Saturday’s match, Filip Chládek and Martin Zikl circled the Slovak team only around the field, and after an injury they will not start training with the team until next week. Hitchhiker Ondřej Ševčík and midfielder David Krška, who returned to Líšeň after an autumn guest in Vyškov, did not appear on the turntable either.
