After losing in České Budějovice, Prague Sparta managed the cup derby and advanced to the semifinals after a good performance. The captain was Ondřej Čelůstka, who had a relatively young team around him. What is it like to wear a ribbon in Sparta?
Sparta dominated the cup derbies, defeated Slavia 2-0 and managed to get ahead of Victoria Pilsen. Ondřej Čelůstka, who started with a very rejuvenated team, led her into the match as captain.
“I felt very responsible and I was even more successful. I’m happy and proud to be there. That we robbed Slavia on her field like that, “ said Čelůstka in an interview with the Spartan magazine SDT.
It is young footballers who have recently been gaining ground in the A-team. Suchomel, Vitík, Karabec, Hložek or Minčev, for example, jumped against Slavia.
“I really like them both humanly and in character. I try to help them as much as possible on the field, give them instructions, help outside the field. So that the boys have the best and longest career out there. I believe all three will have it. I hope that before they get scattered, we will do the title together and really enjoy it together. “ added.
The jawbone had a relatively rough autumn, first he was injured in front of the Euro and he was absent until mid-September, then he was injured in early November with Lyon and the autumn ended for him.
“I wanted to help the boys as soon as possible, but it didn’t work, I had to take more time. Then I started playing, but something still hurt, and I finally tore my lateral ligament in my knee. It was another month of absence, I was sorry.
I feel good now, of course I’m an older player, so I still feel a little pain, but you can work with it. One must accept one’s age, adapt to regeneration. I try to prepare for individual matches, one after the other, “ an experienced stopper finished.
If nothing unexpected happens, on Sunday against Pilsen he will mark his historically 100th match in the Czech highest competition. Subsequently, Sparta will host Partizan in another important competition on Thursday.
