Even František Cipro, who as a coach won the championship title with Slavia Prague in 1996, has no explanation for the tragic entry of the title defender into the spring season, when he did not score a goal in two domestic matches. He doesn’t have much understanding for national team forward Michael Krmenčík. “It’s hard to adapt to Slavia. And it’s harder for others to adapt. “ he says.
Slavia Prague entered the spring season tragically, in two domestic matches it did not even score a goal. First she lost in the highest competition last Karviná 0: 1, then in the quarterfinals of the MOL Cup in derby Sparta 0: 2.
“It’s not a crisis.” František Cipro rejects the strong comparison. “But the team has to catch on.” warns against further hesitation. “However, I believe that they will not lose in Slovácko,” he looks to the next duel with optimism.
It is striking that the Slavists, who scored 51 goals in the league’s opponents in the autumn season, have not yet scored in the spring. At the same time, coach Cipro does not understand why Slavia sought to obtain national team striker Michael Krmenčík. “It’s hard to adapt to Slavia.” explains his opinion. “And it’s harder for others to adapt.” graduates.
And he suggests why he thinks so. “Slavia is betting on a combination game in which Krmenčík is also trying to get involved,” analyzes. “It simply came to our notice then. Enter the sixteenth, head, finish, “ reveals its advantages.
“When he joins the combination, he doesn’t do well, he doesn’t have it and then, on the contrary, he misses in front of the goal,” points out. “When a center comes, there weren’t many good ones either, so it’s not there.” continues Cyprus. “He’s still with his back to the opponent’s goal, he’s receiving a balloon, that’s not good either.” adds another observation.
At the same time, after the departure of the best finisher Jan Kuchta to Lokomotiv Moskva, his successor Jindřich Trpišovský had a solution. “I don’t know why they didn’t try the promising Denis Aliyagic, whom everyone praises and I like, too.” Cipro wonders. “We are looking for an attacker who scores goals, did not get a chance, went to a guest in Liberec. I don’t know what’s behind it. “ discusses.
Slavia strengthened the strike even more at the end of the transfer period, nineteen-year-old forward Daniel Fila comes from Mladá Boleslav.
