Adam Vlkanov experienced a stormy match today when he faced his former suitors from Slavia and finally rejoiced at the victory of his Hradec Králové with a ratio of 1:0. “They were chanting, cursing. A month ago, everyone wanted me to go there, now the same nobody will yell at me that they don’t want me. At the same time, they wanted me. But I understand, they’re losing, they’re making fun of it. It’s great when it’s like this heckled. One is in the match, it is not dead,” declared the offensive midfielder, who made his debut in the Czech national team in June. (ČTK) |
After the match, Brian Priske spoke to the hearts of all the players in the circle and was not satisfied even in front of the journalists after the 1:2 loss to Liberec. “As a coach, I don’t believe in anger and shouting and aggressiveness, I played constructively and I try to help them. Of course, I didn’t like the goals we got at all. We have to improve this. We changed the formation in the second half, we are on a diamond with two strikers.” explained the improved performance in the second half. (twitter.com/OndraZlamal) |
The unimaginable became a reality when none of the teams defending a position inside the top five won in the opening round. The last time this happened was in 1970/71, when all five clubs lost straight away (Slovan, Trnava, Sparta, Inter and Teplice). In total, such a rarity occurred only for the third time in post-war history. (csfotbal.cz) |

In a match full of twists and turns, Teplice shared the points with Pilsen (2:2), and although they lost a couple of goals and did not convert a penalty in the end, they take the draw. “We were close to a great result, but in the end we were close to defeat. The match had everything, goals, chances, tension, emotions, combinations. We took advantage of Pilsen’s weaker start, we deservedly took a 2-0 lead. They then substituted, simplified and accelerated game and at the same time showed great quality. In the end, we were lucky that Pilsen did not turn around. We take the point, even though we didn’t give a penalty. Urbanec believed in himself, he didn’t give, but even so, he will remember the first league match for a long time. He is a hard worker and a fighter. we want players like that here. After the failed general meeting, we read everywhere all week how terrible and bad we are, no one counted on us much. I’m glad that we showed everyone that we are doing some work and that we have to be counted on. Even though I don’t want to evaluate the league after one match, I want the important matches for us to come,” said Teplice coach Jiří Jarošík. (ČTK) |
