Liberec coach Luboš Kozel after the defeat by Pilsen: “Disappointed, because I think we gave a good performance. We just couldn’t maintain the ten-minute period before the end of the half, when we got out of our role a bit and it was enough for Plzeň to win. As time went on, we were more active in the match, we had a chance in served by Mick (van Buren), but Staněk reflexively pulled it out. Unfortunately, we didn’t score a goal, but Plzeň did. From the 55th minute, we shut down the opponent almost to the goal, the performance was good, but it lacked a goal. The fact that Pilsen well they defend, you know, but how many times could we have handled the finish better. We also had a lot of corners and set pieces, but we didn’t handle it well. The quality of the finish was decisive. Pilsen had three shots, from which they scored a goal and two crossbars. We quickly had more , but in the final phase we were significantly weaker. Plzeň did not let us in with a 100 percent chance. They are a quality team, they advanced to the Champions League.” (ČTK) |
Coach David Horejš after another failure of Jablonec in Teplice: “It’s a huge disappointment, we had a great game. We had our opponents on our shoulders, but instead, we continued to play the game we’ve been playing since the first equalizing goal, and we were killed by a five-minute period when we made two fatal mistakes in defense. Like this just like in Zlín and Mladá Boleslav, we scored two goals, yet we still didn’t play the game. I’ll admit that it’s killing. In addition, the indiscipline of the players brings us down, so in the end we leave like rabid dogs. At the same time, I always encourage my team to play cleanly and concentrated, because that is the trend. The players should keep their emotions, today’s red cards were complete nonsense. But it also goes to us coaches.” |
České Budějovice coach Jozef Weber after the home defeat with Mlada Boleslav: “Today it was shown how unpredictable football is. Instead of being encouraged by the result at Bohemka, we deservedly lost against an opponent who was on its knees during the week. In the first half, we gave a lackluster performance, we played slowly and in an unfootball-like manner. Moreover there was a senseless exclusion in an area that was not dangerous. It turned the development even more to Boleslav’s side.” (ČTK) |

Sparta in Jablonec did not keep the lead and lost for the second time in a row after a 1:1 draw. “It was a very good performance throughout the game, probably our worst v. We didn’t play well in offense or defense. But at the same time we did well again and scored a goal. But then our performance went down during the first half and it continued after the break . We had very dominant possession, we played on the power play, but the quality was lacking. We made bad decisions in situations. In the end, Jablonec could have decided if he converted the big chance we gave him. It was not a good match, it’s my responsibility. I don’t know , if it’s a warning, but it’s a signal that we need to add quality,” acknowledged Spartans coach Brian Priske. (ČTK) |
