Congratulate, bow your head and continue working: Weiss evaluates Slav ‘s performance in Europe – Športky.sk

COPENHAGEN – Slovana Bratislava footballers ended their performance in the basic F-group of the European Conference League with a loss of 0: 2 in Copenhagen, it was not enough to advance to the next stage.

And even after a few changes in the staff.

Copenhagen was already sure of advancing to the round of 16 before the match, Slovan fought at a distance with PAOK Thessaloniki for second place, which means advancing to the sixteenth quarter playoff. But while the Greeks took on the role of favorite and Lincoln Red Imps from Gibraltar defeated 2: 0, Slovan presented a bloodless performance at Parken Stadium.

“I would define it as reality. When an opponent is better, you have to congratulate him, bow his head, move on and work on. We know where we have our shortcomings, which we will work on and improve. Just as a coach learns all his life, so do players need to learn and add in order to get closer to the level of international football, “ said coach Weiss for the club website.

The best chance for the “whites” in the match was in the 20th minute by the defender Yuri Medvedev, who after a fantastic center from Vladimir Weiss Jr. did not aim exactly between the legs of the goalkeeper Grabar.

“The goalkeeper kicked it, or the ball hit him in the leg. Such duels are decisive, this was one of them. Of course, the match would have a different charge, but we got a cheap goal, where it turned around. Copenhagen then played well, knew how to use our mistakes, we have failed many times in the press. talented players, a sensible coach, it’s a big club, I believe it can go a long way. We need to work on physical training, many players were injured or unprepared in the summer, we have a lot of work to do, but the European Conference League was a big, good school for us, and we know where we need to add, ” added Weiss the Elder.

Slovan finished in the group with eight points. He defeated the Gibraltar champion in both matches, drew with the PAOK in both duels and lost twice with Copenhagen. “There is a lot of work for the future in the club. We advanced to the start of Europe in a difficult fight through Shamrock Rovers, then we tried something that this team in the Champions League was not so good for. We all know that, we have to admit it and work in the club continues to make the dream I mentioned once so that it happens once, it’s a long-term process, it can’t happen from month to month, we realize where we have shortcomings, where we have good things, and we will We will see what the cold will bring us, we know that we want to strengthen ourselves in 1-2 positions.Some players will leave, whether to host the younger ones, to play and have practice.Again, it is a long-term process that is in “At the moment and at the moment, we didn’t have more than that.” the coach admitted.

We have seen where European football is located

Slovan could have lost in the north of Europe by a larger difference, the Danish youngsters had two more tutu after the change of sides. “We are sorry, we still had a chance to make it to Copenhagen during the spring elimination phase, but we probably didn’t deserve it that much. We saw where European football is and the level we would definitely like to reach. All goals It was incredible to experience so many people at football at this time, I believe we will live to see it at home one day, I noticed our fans in the warm-up I appreciate us all the way here, it’s a pity it didn’t work out, I appreciate the whole trip to Europe, I personally have a lot of motivation to be champions in the league again, and to experience European matches for another year. “Put your heads up and get together. The way to the cups clearly leads through the league,” said goalkeeper Adrián Chovan.
