Duel Slovan Bratislava – Spartak Trnava on Sunday, May 8, has been extremely watched for several weeks and it is really hot behind the scenes. The police are still insisting that the meeting take place without spectators. Now the situation has been further complicated by the current statement of the General Director of Slovan Bratislava, Ivan Kmotrík. “The police confirmed the request to ban the event in Bratislava, as the safest solution was to hold the match outside the capital and Trnava. The representatives of the football association acknowledge the serious risks on the part of some fan groups and that they do not dare to manage the event without extraordinary efforts of the police, “said Rudolf Kusý, mayor of Bratislava’s New Town, after a two-hour meeting. “However, the representatives of the football association also expressed fears that fans from the hard core, who could endanger the children, would come to the stadium to protest,” Kusý added. The Regional Directorate of the Police Force in Bratislava turned to the Bratislava-Nové Mesto district on Wednesday (April 27) with a request to ban the meeting. The reason is fears of riots and clashes of fan ultras. General Director of ŠK Slovan Bratislava Ivan Kmotrík Jr. Source: TASR / Pavel Neubauer However, Slovan Bratislava, at whose stadium in Tehelné pole the meeting is to take place, does not agree with this. “In the case of a scenario without spectators, we would consider not entering the match. As a club, we should not take part in such a finals, which would run counter to the essence of football as such. We do football for people and not for empty stands, we don’t see the point of playing the finals without fans. At Monday’s meeting, we are ready to have a constructive discussion and to ensure the best of our cause. However, we refuse to discuss the finals without spectators, “says CEO Ivan Kmotrík Jr. The Slovak Football Association continues to prepare the finals of the Slovak Cup on Tehelné pole. SOURCE: fb ŠK Slovan Bratislava The coaches and players of both teams commented on the final match of the Slovak Cup. “I don’t think anyone will ever be satisfied with either solution. I don’t know if we will play here, whether in Trnava or somewhere else. I would prefer to play it on a neutral field in Dunajská Streda or elsewhere if I am to be neutral and fair. But that’s just my opinion. When it was not determined half a year in advance, but at the last minute… Of course, our fans would like it to be played here, the Trnava team in Trnava. Whoever plays at home certainly has the advantage of a home environment. In the finals, let it be the spectator fifty-fifty, let the football win, not some brutality. I asked the fans of Slovan and Trnava to be polite before the match, let it look like a phrase, I believe that common sense will win and it will be played in front of the spectators in fair play. Let’s not talk about the riots, I think the police will definitely make it. Even in the world, however, such matches are played and there are 70,000 people. We can have 15,000 or 20,000, so I believe that what was before will never happen again, ”said Slovana coach Vladimír Weiss. st. “It simply came to our notice then. It was certainly preventable. I now believe that he will also play with the fans, probably here in Slovan, and that the capacity will be as high as possible, because the finals deserve it. It will definitely be watched and it deserves a big stadium like in Slovane or in Trnava with a spectator backdrop. I believe that we will not lose it and that it will be a good match, “said Spartak coach Michal Gašparík. “We are professionals, we have to wait until the last minute, the final finals in Slovakia cannot be, it should be a football holiday, I believe that the finals will take place. I will not comment on this, although I have my opinion. We will not comment on the club after the agreement. However, we play it for the spectators, if they cancel it, it is a shame, “said the captain of Trnava Martin Mikovič and replied to the question whether the players themselves will not refuse to start if they decide on the final without spectators. “No comment.”
