Slavia Prague‘s tactical Puzzle: Unveiling Trpišovský’s Masterplan
Slavia Prague’s upcoming Conference League clash against LASK Linz has ignited speculation about Jindřich Trpišovský’s tactical approach. The absence of key players like Kačarab, Oscar, Hovorka, and jurásk, who are ineligible for the competition, presents a unique challenge for the Czech champions.
Trpišovský, known for his meticulous planning, dismisses the notion of relying on sudden inspiration. “It’s a collaborative process,” he explains. “We consult with the implementation team and,crucially,the players. They are the ones who translate our ideas onto the field.”
The coach acknowledges the importance of having a strong squad depth, comparing it to having “great cards in your hand.” He cites the example of choosing between goalkeepers Mandous and Kolář, both in extraordinary form. In such scenarios,factors like player confidence,opponent analysis,and desired match tempo come into play.
However, Trpišovský emphasizes that tactical flexibility is limited without a talented roster. “Without those strong cards, your options are restricted,” he admits.
Slavia’s objective for the first leg is clear: dominate possession, create numerous scoring opportunities, and secure a cozy lead before traveling to Linz for the return fixture.Adding to the intrigue is trpišovský’s hint about deploying a player in an unfamiliar midfield role. “We have two candidates, neither of whom has played this position before,” he reveals, fueling speculation.
Could it be the versatile Shrovetide, known for his adaptability and ability to contribute both defensively and offensively? Or perhaps the explosive Baha, whose pace, directness, and goal-scoring prowess could unsettle the Austrian defense?
Trpišovský remains tight-lipped, stating that the final decision will be made after the pre-match warm-up and video analysis, taking into account player availability.

Decoding Trpišovský’s Tactics: An Exclusive Interview with Pavel Nedvěd
In this week’s Football Unlocked,we delve into the tactical brilliance of Slavia Prague manager Jindřich Trpišovský. Joining us is Czech football legend, pavel Nedvěd, whose legendary career includes stints with Lazio and Juventus, offering his insight into Trpišovský’s masterful approach.
Moderator: Pavel, Slavia Prague is gearing up for a crucial Conference League clash against LASK Linz, and Trpišovský’s tactical acumen is always a major talking point. What are your initial thoughts on the challenge facing the Czech champions,especially with key players like Kačarab,Oscar,Hovorka,and Jurásk ineligible for the competition?
Nedvěd: Clearly,the absence of those key players is a meaningful blow. Slavia loses significant experience and attacking prowess; however, Trpišovský has proven time and again his ability to adapt and find solutions. He’s not one to rely on sudden inspiration. This challenge will likely see him delve even deeper into his tactical bag of tricks.
Moderator: We see Trpišovský frequently enough emphasizing the collaborative approach to tactics, involving the implementation team and, importantly, the players. How vital is this open dialog within a team, especially when facing a crucial European fixture?
Nedvěd: It’s absolutely crucial. Football is a game of details, and trpišovský understands that the players on the field are the ones who execute the plan. Their understanding, their input, their confidence – these are all vital ingredients for success. You want your players feeling empowered, not just following blindly.
Moderator: Another fascinating point Trpišovský made was the comparison of squad depth to having “great cards in your hand.” He spoke about the challenging choices he faces, even with two top-class goalkeepers like Mandous and Kolář at his disposal. How significant is having those “great cards” within a squad, especially when navigating the demands of European competition?
Nedvěd: It’s like having a Swiss Army knife – every player must have a specific purpose and be ready to perform when called upon. Depth allows for tactical versatility and helps manage the fatigue of players throughout a grueling campaign. Teams without that depth can easily find themselves exposed, especially in tournaments like the conference League.
Moderator: And the biggest enigma this week: Trpišovský hinted at deploying a player in an unfamiliar midfield role, fueling speculation. Do you think this is a risky move, or could it be a stroke of tactical genius?
Nedvěd: It depends on the context. Slavia is going into this game aiming to dominate possession. If Trpišovský is confident that this player possesses the necessary composure and awareness to control the midfield tempo, it could be a masterstroke.
But if it creates instability or disrupts the team’s rhythm,it could backfire horribly.
Moderator: Who do you think might be candidates for this potential midfield role? Has Trpišovský given us any hints?
Nedvěd: Shrovetide seems like a strong possibility. He’s versatile and has shown his ability to contribute defensively and offensively. Then there’s Baha, whose pace and directness could trouble the Austrian defense. But I wouldn’t rule out some surprise, a young player Trpišovský has been nurturing in the shadows. That’s what makes Trpišovský such an exciting manager – he’s always willing to twist expectations.
Moderator: This match promises to be a tactical chess match.What are your predictions for the first leg, Pavel?
Nedvěd: I expect slavia to come out strong, control the tempo, and dominate with possession. I believe they will score 1-2 goals and return to Linz with a slender but important led. Ultimately, the outcome hinges on Trpišovský’s choices and the players’ execution, and
I am confident in their ability to showcase their prowess.
