Penalties? If it comes down to it, I’ll go and lock myself up somewhere. The boys will come and tell me how it went, says Trpišovský

Only the home game against Dutch Feyenoord Rotterdam stands in the way of the semi-finals. Considering the opening match, which ended 3:3, we can expect a penalty shootout. What does coach Jindřich Trpišovský have to say?

Slávista fans may experience a huge euphoria shortly before midnight on Thursday. Their team is just a game away from the semi-finals of the European Conference League.

Slavia is basically four games away from winning the trophy. But now let’s not get ahead of ourselves, at 9pm the Susians will take on Feyenoord Rotterdam in front of a sold out Eden.

The first match ended 3-3, and so the option is widely discussed, what if the match ended amicably and they had to go to penalty kicks?

These are definitely not the favourites of coach Jindřich Trpišovský. In fact, the match always turns around if one of the Slavs kicks a penalty. How would it be in a penalty shootout?

“I’ve already talked about it in the cabin, that if it comes to them, I’ll leave and go somewhere. And the boys will come to tell me at the end how it went, I won’t influence it anyway. Better to have one shock than maybe ten or more.

I guess it would be great for the audience, but I don’t want to experience that. Of course, if we could do it, it would be nice. But I don’t want to experience a situation where a player is shuffling from the halfway line to the penalty spot and you’re waiting to see what state of mind he’s going to be in.

I would prefer to decide who plays who normally from the game, rather than having penalty kicks decide it,” said the Slavia coach at the press conference.
