A strong moment came right before Slavie’s match with Hradec Králové, which plays in the asylum in Mladá Boleslav. After the start of both teams, the entire stadium applauded, expressing support for the hard-pressed Ukraine, which has been facing a Russian invasion since Thursday.
As in Thursday, the Ukrainian hitchhiker Taras Kačaraba was not missing in the basic line-up of the Red and Whites as on Thursday in the Conference League against Fenerbahce, and he burst into applause from the stands. Shortly afterwards, coach Trpišovský also spoke to him. “But we were discussing tactical things,” the winners’ coach explained after a landslide victory of the 5: 1 favorite.
Kacharaba did not finish the match, due to injury he was replaced during the first half by another Ukrainian Maksym Talovjerov. “Taras’ injury will probably be more serious. It happened to his groin, which invades his muscles. It will have a longer time span, “Trpišovský informed.
In Slavia, he solves crazy events in Ukraine. Assistant coach Jaroslav Köstl, whose wife is Ukrainian, received two refugees. But Kačaraba and Talovjerov are having the most difficult moments. “It simply came to our notice then. They experience a lot of new things in their personal lives, it packs up. Logically, everyone asks them about it. The situation around them is changing a lot. It escalates emotionally, they live in great insecurity. But I don’t want to speak for them. However, when I see Taras in the cabin after the match, I feel sorry for him, “summed up the sadly Slavic strategist.
“It is very annoying. I’m surprised how everything can simply turn around, it’s awful. I hope that it will end as soon as possible, “added the red-and-white forward Stanislav Tecl, who scored twice against Hradec.
The football association finally swayed on Sunday morning and announced that it would not compete against Russia in the World Cup play-off if this clash were to take place. The Czechs are in the same qualifying spider.
Slavia supports this step. “We clearly agree. It is the only possible way out, “said Trpišovský.
“I certainly agree. In this situation, all means should be used to point out that what is happening is wrong. This is one of them. It’s just a sport, unimportant compared to what is happening in Ukraine, but in this way we can show that we don’t agree with it, “Tecl added just as vigorously.
