After a great Euro comes a hard sobering! Czech football had a black week. How is the public reacting?

In the 3rd round of the Champions League, Prague’s “S” got their rivals into the so-called Csaplár trap, but the reversal will be extremely difficult. The failure of the Prague teams in the 3rd round of the Europa League was followed by Jablonec from North Bohemia, who lost against the favoured Celtic 4:2. After a great Euro, where the Czech Republic presented good football and even better results, a hard sobering comes.

The positive news is that two Czech teams still have a chance to make amends on home soil. Erasing the two-goal deficit is not impossible, but neither is it easy. The advanced teams usually have refined defending in the block and are also strong in the transition to the attacking phase (Monaco, Ferencváros).

Guessing if a team can advance from a difficult situation is really difficult. Can one of the Prague teams or maybe Viktoria Plzen, who were not far from a shameful 0:4 defeat, turn the match around?

How is the football public reacting to this bad week for the Czech representatives?

“I’ve been thinking for twenty minutes what to write, and I really can’t think of anything… So it won’t be a grand priur, but a big bummer… Now only a miracle in a week or the Conference final between Sparta and Slavia will save us,” tweeted European coefficients expert Milan Coen.

“Four games = four defeats. Better to forget. Of course, there are nightmares that one remembers long after waking up,” the FC Coefficient twitter profile commented on the Czech team’s performance.

“So that soon our superstructure does not go smoothly into the first preliminary rounds,” wrote seasoned journalist Ondřej Zlámal.

The failure and ungentlemanliness of Czech football

Apart from the bad sporting results, we have to include the racist insults of some Spartan fans in the scary week. The prestigious Le Figaro newspaper also blamed the Czech environment. In Wales, the Plzen footballers did not score either.

“In the end, 4:2 to New Saints. But at the end of the game, a mass brawl in front of the bench. From the coverage I watched, it is impossible to determine what was going on and who was the perpetrator. I just pray that it was not another disaster…,” wrote commentator Jaromír Bosák on Twitter.

According to all available information, it was not racist. It was probably just a matter of not correcting negative emotions.
