When we get under pressure and the stadium starts to storm, it’s very difficult. Everyone has to prepare themselves in their heads, Holeš said

Slavia have an important match in Greece today. It will challenge Panathinaikos in the third round, which it defeated 2:0 at home and thus created a nice lead for the rematch. What did captain Tomáš Holeš say at the press conference before the match?

Slavia Prague will take on Panathinaikos of Greece, which they beat 2-0 in the opening game, in the rematch of the third round of the Conference Europa League.

The two-goal lead is more than promising, but the home team will be supported by loud fans. “You can’t prepare for that. We tried such matches last season, we gained experience.

When we come under pressure and the stadium starts to storm, it’s very difficult, it was like that at Feyenoord. Everyone has to prepare themselves in their heads,” said Tomas Holeš at the press conference.

But Slavia also have to prepare for a rather atypical turf, which is cut very low and is not exactly soft. What did the Slavic captain have to say about it?

“The grass is strange, I have played on similar grass once before in Cyprus, I played there in presses. I’m sure a lot of water will be needed, otherwise the pitch will be very slow,” he added.

Slavia will play for promotion today from 19:30. If it manages to advance, it can look forward to the last double-header, where it will face the better of the Trnava/Raków pair. Fans will potentially enjoy one interesting outing.
