Stitchers beware! See how Pekhart is doing in Legia

The top scorer of the Ekstraklasa 2020/2021 and the best foreigner in the top Polish competition. This is the calling card of Czech striker Tomas Pekhart! The Slavs must be on their guard, a montage of his goal shots shows what a goal machine the Czech international is in a Legia jersey.

Tomas Pekhart’s strength is mainly in the opponent’s sixteen. In the goal montage you can see what power he has in the air. Thanks to his strength, Legia can afford to simplify the game and play relatively straightforward football.

There is also a great heel goal in the cut. The native of Sušice has simply found himself in the Polish giant, at 32 years old he is experiencing the best and most goal scoring period of his career. See for yourself!

Tomas Pekhart has a wealth of experience from Czech, German, Greek, Israeli and Spanish football. Now he is facing the domestic champion against his Legia, who helped Pekhart into big-time football.

The question is whether Pekhart will start from the first minute against Slavia, if he does, it will be a real test for the Sešiovans’ defence. What recipe should coach Jindřich Trpišovský prescribe for his charges?

The only way is to erase Pekhart from the game and eliminate his strengths. That means not giving Legia space on the wings and getting to the other team quickly. At the same time, it is necessary to reduce the number of standard situations of the Polish team as much as possible.

A functional strategy could be the performance of the second half against Ferencváros, when the game was played with great intensity and Susiwani absolutely dominated.
