Sigma plays in Prague against Sparta, who will replace Jemelka?
SK Sigma Olomouc football players are waiting for the match of the 3rd round of the FORTUNA:LIGA on Sunday. Their opponent will be Sparta Prague, the match at Letná will start at 19.00.
Sigma did not manage the home match against Brno, losing the derby with Zbrojovka 0:2. “We did a big analysis because it was needed. We are still in the beginning of the season. We went through the whole match. I think it was not a bad entry. The public and the fans could see that we were broken, which cast a negative shadow over the whole match. It’s nothing new for the team that dials up to be penalized on the first shot on goal and then not push through. Our reaction after the second goal, not only the players, but also all of us, should have been different, so that we were more calm. Unfortunately, we couldn’t do it,” said Jiří Saňák, SK Sigma’s assistant.
Stopper Václav Jemelka transferred to Pilsen on Thursday, so Hanáci will have to change the composition of the defensive four. “We will cope with the departure of Vašek Jemelka, we have other players in the squad who have their own quality. We must do everything we can to replace him. “Football is a team sport, the whole team must play well, we can never rely on one player,” said Saňák.
Sparta changed the staff before the season, among other things, they bought midfielder Kryštof Dańko from Sigma. There was also a change on the coaching bench, the team is led by Danish coach Brian Priske. “Regardless of whether it is coached by Priske, Vrba, or Kotal, we have a challenging match ahead of us. Only performances at the limit of the individual maximum can bring us good success. Already in the year, we are unfortunately quite a match at Sparta. Sparta is a big club. That needs to be said. The match at Letná is for every player, I don’t want to say for a reward, but motivation is always taken care of, I think everyone is looking forward to it,” said Saňák.
The match AC Sparta Praha – SK Sigma Olomouc will start on Sunday, August 14 at 7:00 p.m. Ondřej Berka was delegated as the main referee, Ivo Nádvorník and Matěj Vlček will assist him on the boundary.
