I respect myself, to coach Priske on the threshold of the season. From Kuchta, he is fed up
Pavel Vrba’s successor went to Sparta on the last day of May. He started working with the team in mid-July, and after five weeks of training in the company, he will lead Sparta to the water match of the 2nd preliminary round of the Konferenn League against Viking Stavanger.
And he will also have a rematch in Norway behind him, he will be preparing for the first league round against Liberec.
To reach the first qualifying round in the basic group of the European Championship and to win the title, which Sparta last won in 2014, at home in the highest competition. These are the goals of the club’s management and fans.
I know that we will be able to fulfill them, declared Priske.
Are you really an optimist?
We worked very hard in preparation. We have been together for five weeks and we also needed to get to know each other. We tried to humor the tactical deaths with whom we drank to Sparta. We liked the defensive side of the game a lot. I’m glad that we conceded a few goals in preparation and the soupe only went into a small number of fouls. During the arrest, the thorns were a lot of physical damage. I’m happy with how they adapted to the way and pace of the thorn. We can also see it in the data, how much do you upload in a sprint. For me, it is important that the players want to play and understand what we want from them. It goes without saying that I don’t always have to work at work on Thursdays.
Are you nervous before the start of the season?
I respect the time. Ctm, I belong here. You will realize how Sparta is a club when you walk around the stadium or the thorn center and see the photos where the trophies were celebrated. That’s what you did. It gives me great pleasure to meet people here. I know for a long time that everyone is in a hurry, that a long time has passed since the last title. I don’t get nervous. I am in awe of how our team’s games will be, how the players will look in tough matches, how the atmosphere will be in the Czech league. We work a lot together and very hard. And that’s fine with me.
How do you get along with the Czech assistants in the implementation of the game, especially with the goal coaches Ztka and Tichko? How do you deploy glman with them?
Firstly, I would like to say that for my colleagues who are still here, it was not an easy situation when a new coach and a foreigner were playing. Cooperation with them is what I imagine, which makes a lot of things easier for us. This also applies to the goalkeepers, who do a very good job.
And those goals? Who will one day be?
We consult on all issues to the maximum to help me with the final decision. Tom Rosick brought me to make that decision. I am responsible for who will play in the starting line-up. But you have to wait and see who will be in Brno on Thursday. Don’t be angry, I won’t tell you.
Who sweated the most out of the new games? And who is the closest to the lineup?
Everyone we have on the roster has the ability to be in the starting line-up. For me, there should be competition in the dark, we absolutely need it. True, we have a new game and we are happy with how they played in preparation. In general, I’m satisfied with how it must have adapted to the way the game is played. I respect that players want to learn and work. I think I don’t have to talk much about Kucht. All of you, who are sitting here, surely know his qualities and know what kind of game it is.
