Last Sunday, Slavia from Prague managed to get a 1-1 draw in Liberec, a result that delighted coach Henrý Trpíšovský, despite his criticism of the team’s performance. Vasil Kuší’s 87th minute goal allowed Slavia to save the furniture after a disappointing first half. Trpíšovský pointed out that the team lacked biting and tactics, especially in the first half, and deplored the lack of follow-up of technical instructions. He also mentioned that Liberec had specifically targeted their defense, making the match difficult. Kuší himself acknowledged that the team had to work harder and that they had not been aggressive, especially after taking the advantage.

The team of Slavia from Prague, who was undefeated in the championship, met with fierce resistance in Liberec. Despite a first half where opportunities were rare and defence vulnerable, Slavia managed to return to the game thanks to Kuší’s initiative. Coach Trpíšovský stressed the importance of defensive strength and respect for tactics, while recognizing that the composition of the team had undergone changes. He also praised the team spirit and the determination of the players not to give up, even in difficult times. Slavia’s victory in Liberec is all the more significant as it comes after an encouraging performance in the Champions League.

This draw kept Prague’s Slavia at the top of the Czech championship, although Sparta Prague and Jabloniec followed them closely. The team had made a promising start this season, with a much better record than in previous years, particularly in terms of direct confrontations against Liberec. Slavia will now have to focus on her next Cup match against Brozany, before returning to the championship against Hradec Králové. Kuší’s performance, especially his decisive goal, was praised by the supporters and helped maintain the team’s hope and morale.
