Will Jemelka start against Karabakh? It’s still a rush, but it’s best for the player when he comes in, goes to play right away and doesn’t wait for anything, said Horváth

The Champions League is just around the corner, all we have to do is beat the last opponent, which is Karabakh.The first match is scheduled for Wednesday and the assistant coach spoke not only about his opponent, but also partly about the line-up.

Only Karabakh stands in the way of Viktoria Plzen’s next dream. The Westerners are close to the group stage of the Champions League and will play their opening play-off match on Wednesday.

“They are unpleasant for us. The quality of their players is really great. Considering where we’ve got to, we’re going to face the toughest opponent. Karabakh players are really good, their offensive drive would not be lost in better teams,” Pavel Horváth told iSport.

Viktoria travelled without several players, including Fortune Bassey, Radim Reznik, Filip Kasba, Matej Trusa and Kristi Qose. What is the reason for their absence?

Bassey has already started for Ferencváros, so he could not be added to the roster. Řezník is still injured, the other three were simply not on the roster due to the absence of their offspring.

But there was also a question mark over goalkeeper Jindřich Stanek, who should be fine according to Horváth. Will a new reinforcement in the form of Václav Jemelka come in?

“It’s still a rush, but it’s best for a player when he comes in, goes to play right away and doesn’t wait for anything. We’ve known Vasek Jemelka for a long time as well as football fans, he’s been confirming his quality for several years. Heis also one of the options for left-back, that’s for sure,” he added.
