Panak’s mistake? The fate of players who want to play football! I hope he doesn’t change his style of play, says Krejci

Sparta Prague failed to win an important match against Rangers and after a 0:2 defeat can say goodbye to the Europa League in the spring. The reason for the defeat was mainly due to a lukewarm start, but also Filip Panak’s mistake. What did Ladislav Krejci Jr. say about it?

Sparta entered the game in perhaps the worst way, Rangers could have punished them several times and ended the game after a few minutes. Finally, the Scots took advantage of one of the defensive mistakes, Morelos got through after a pass from Hagi.

Sparta’s performance improved a bit, but it wasn’t good enough for the equaliser to come. So the players went to the booths and before they could get a chance to look around, Rangers added a second goal.

Filip Panak tried to play a constructive ball, missed the ball to his liking and sat it on the head of Morelos, who had no problem getting it into the net. Panak then blamed himself for his mistake.

“I hope he doesn’t change his style of play, because he is the most footballing stopper I have met in my time and this is the fate of players who want to play football, that unfortunately at some moments it comes out like this.

I hope that he will not change his style of play and will go into the next game with a clear head,” said Ladislav Krejci Jr. about Panak in the post-match interview.

Sparta had chances to reduce the deficit at the end, but due to McGregor’s excellent play, they did not get the ball in the net and will fight with Brondby to play at least the European Conference playoffs.
