We had three or more scoring chances in every game, we scored few goals, sorry Trpišovský

Slavia Prague failed to make it through the second match of the European competitions and will only play the group stage of the Conference Europa League. What did Sešiv coach Jindřich Trpišovský say after the loss to Legia?

Slavia did not start the rematch in Warsaw as expected, playing down to ten men from the third minute when Tomas Holeš was sent off after a harsh tackle.

However, hope dawned for the Susians as Ubong Ekpai scored a beautiful shot at the end of the first half to make the half-time score 0:1.

But that was the end of Slavia’s lucky moments, Mahir Emreli scored twice in the second half and Slavia will only play in the European Conference League after losing 1: 2.

“We took the lead in the match, we had two more chances, but unfortunately we didn’t add another goal. In the second half, unfortunately, we got a goal from the opponent’s second chance after a centre.

It was 1:1 and then the ball dropped into the net. Overall, I think we played the double match well, as well as this match, but we didn’t convert our chances. Legia succeeded and that’s why they are advancing,” said Jindřich Trpišovský at the press conference.

Stanislav Tecl had big chances, but he couldn’t convert them and the defeat goes on his shoulders. “I’m especially glad that not only he, but also others will get their chances. It is one thing to get into it, then of course you have to convert it. What it is, I don’t know, if I knew, I could advise him. It’s about the player’s decision, every situation is a little bit different.

Like I said, it’s still better to get those chances and not convert them than not to get them at all. In every game we had three or more scoring chances, but we didn’t score enough goals. That was of course the reason why we won only one of the four matches in the preliminary rounds,” the Slavia coach added.
