Tenth triumph in a row. The lead over Sparta remained the same. Coach Jindřich Trpišovský was very happy after the 2:1 win in Jablonec. He knew about the qualities of the opponent. And that was confirmed. “We are extremely satisfied with the victory and three points. We had a lot of respect. We ranked the match as demanding as a derby. It’s a hard-fought three points, but deserved by the quality,” stated Trpišovský for the Slavia club website.
Trpišovský: Michez is getting used to it
Simion Michez was especially pleased with the stitched coach. He performed a great performance, which he crowned with a goal to make it 1:0 in the 18th minute of the game. “I am very satisfied with him. We expect goals from him. We know his qualities going forwardbut his defense was a bit of a question mark. In the first half, he made great progress and supported the attack. He’s still getting used to the intensity. He did a great job, he played even better than we expected.” Trpišovský rejoiced.

Micah was not easy to win. Many clubs were interested in the 22-year-old Belgian Beerschot VA fighter. However, the full-back finally signed a contract until June 2028 with Slavia. “The negotiations were long, difficult, but fair. We expect from him an increase in competition on the right side of the field.” said Slavia’s sports director Jiří Bílek at the beginning of September. The Cameroon representative is said to have come to Slavia for an amount exceeding 50 million crowns.
Lingr scored the winning goal
But it seems to be paying off so far. Another player who recently joined Slavia helped them win. In other words, he returned to her. Ondrej Lingr. The national team member announced his comeback to Eden from Feyenoord in the Netherlands on the same day as Michez. And it was he who scored the winning goal in the 61st minute in Jablonec. “His performances have been great in recent games. For example against Bohemians he was certainly one of the best players. And since he is used to scoring goals regularly by nature, it was an important strike for him after his return. It will definitely help him,” declared Trpišovský.
“I think he is not in 100 percent form yet. But it’s getting closer. Now he is rested and full of energy to give it his all. I am especially very happy to see him happy. He’s smiling, that’s great. After some time, he enjoys football again. He substituted because he had a leg and we needed to get Mojmír Chytil into the game. We also wanted to strengthen the game in the air with this substitution.” added Trpišovský.
