Lasers are annoying, I’ve had two or three shine on me on a direct kick. I hope I never experience that again, Mandous said

Prague Slavia proved it. Although the rematch with Panathinaikos was no easy task, after a 1:1 draw, they will advance to the final round where they will play Raków from Poland. What did goalkeeper Ales Mandous say after the game?

The 2: 0 lead from the opening match seemed comfortable and many of the Slavic fans had no doubt about the progression. However, even they were definitely worried during the match.

Slavia let their opponents have a lot of chances and they can thank their teammates for the goalless half to the excellent Aleš Mandous. He kept his opponent out several times and scored only once.

“The environment was very difficult, the opponent was of high quality. We knew it would be a completely different game than ours and that was confirmed from the first minutes. They locked us in, they had chances. We are happy that we survived the first half and then we played tactically despite the goal we conceded,” Mandous said in an interview with the club website.

During the game he also had a lot of trouble with the lasers that the fans were launching at the players. They shone on Mandous especially during a direct kick, which would have been difficult to catch if it had been better placed.

“It’s annoying, I had two or three shining on me during a direct kick. I haven’t quite got to grips with it so I hope I never experience it again,” he added.

They are just one step away from advancing to the group stage by knocking out Poland’s Raków. However, the Seškis must also focus on the league, as they travel to Jablonec this weekend.
