How did Sparta players play against Rapid? Vindheim disappointed, Höjer and Pesek pleased

Sparta Prague lost their opening game of the 2021/22 season to Rapid Vienna 1:2. How did the players of the Prague team play and who should not play in the next match?

Florin Nita is Sparta’s number one, but his footwork is absolutely tragic and it is only a question of whether he is the worst in the league in this activity. At the same time, he is excellent on the line and his saves helped Sparta in the match.

Andreas Vindheim is not in form, he is the one who should be missing from Sparta’s lineup at least for the league game. He didn’t excel in defending, he was almost zero going forward.

The stopper duo managed the match within the limits of their abilities, especially Stetina’s great excitement, which made the fans afraid that he would not finish the match.

Casper Höjer played a good game, it’s just a pity that he didn’t have Jakub Pesek or David Moberg Karlsson in front of him for a longer time.

As for the midfield, it was not a very good performance. David Pavelka and Ladislav Krejci didn’t keep up with the pressing opponents.

Tomas Wiesner is playing in great form, excellent going forward and it’s a great pity his missed chance could have sent his team into a two-goal lead.

On the other hand, Ladislav Krejci Sr. has shown almost nothing, I don’t expect him in the starting lineup both in the rematch and against Olomouc.

Bořek Dočkal sent good centres at his teammates, but he lacks speed, which is why Sparta got the second goal.

Adam Hložek was drowned on the tip, but his effort could not be denied. Substitute Pešek immediately showed quality and should not be missing from the starting lineup on Saturday.

Adam Karabec and Karlsson jumped into the game as well, but neither of them could show almost anything in a short time.
