The interplay was not good, I have no sympathy for it. Jurásek had to stay in a hotel because of fever, Trpišovský said after Sivasspor

Slavia went into the first match of the group stage of the ECL as favourites, but they failed to make it. They were leading with Sivaspor, but by the end of the half it was tied and the subsequent game was not exactly world class. What did coach Trpišovský say after the draw?

The Sevivans had their first group match, they only drew 1-1 with Sivaspor. Peter Olayinka put his side ahead early. But even at half-time, the home side were able to take advantage of a defensive error.

In the second half, the football was not spectacular, but at the end Christ Tiéhi was fouled and Lukas Provod was able to score the winner for his team from a penalty kick. However, his shot was saved by the goalkeeper and the Slavs were left crying.

“It’s disappointing. The interplay was not good, I have no sympathy for it. I’m also sorry because of what we went through in qualifying and what we had to endure,” said coach Jindřich Trpišovský at the press conference.

For the fans, the draw is a surprise. After all, Sivasspor has not yet tasted victory in the current season, but the Sivasspor team has not been very successful in Europe on the road.

“We have almost all wins at home, but we have not been doing so well away lately. All matches in Europe are very difficult, teams don’t play here by chance. Theteams from the top of the domestic tables meet, it’s not easy, the details are decisive,” he added.

The performance and the result were also significantly affected by the large number of players in the squad. Slavia lost David Jurásek before the match and it is possible that other players will follow him.

“David Jurásek had to stay in the hotel because of fever. We’ll see how we’ll be when we arrive, hopefully it won’t spread. We have hope that Vaclav Jurecka could be ready for Sunday, it would help us a lot,” he finished.
