BRATISLAVA – If the footballers of the Bratislava Slav want to really think about advancing from the F-group of the European Conference League (EKL), they should score fully against Lincoln Red Imps on Thursday. At the pre-match press conference, the coach of the reigning Slovak champion Vladimír Weiss st. and the winger Jaromír Zmrhal.

Slovan has a relatively recent experience with his Gibraltar opponent, in August he managed to eliminate him in the third preliminary round of the European League. He won 3: 1 in Gibraltar, and a 1: 1 draw was born in domestic revenge. “It’s a group match in which we play for three important points. If we want to think about progress, we have to manage it and then retaliate outside. Lincoln is a smaller outsider of the group, but he plays well. However, I believe that we are a better and better team. If we put emotion into it and show our strength, we will get three points. “ said the “white” coach.

The canceled derby was replaced by a model match

His team made up for Sunday’s canceled derby with Spartak Trnava, which was marked by a disgusting battle of fans of both camps right on the lawn, to make up for the next day with a modeled training match for 2×20 minutes. “It was not at a good pace, but the match could not be replaced. But I was satisfied with the intensity of the players, it had a level. I’m not afraid that we will have cold feet tomorrow, despite the canceled derby. The team is in match rhythm. in the season, some representatives from our club are even approaching the limit of 30 matches. I believe that I will choose the best line-up that will be offensive, and it will turn out well for us. “ added Weiss, who still can’t count on his son. Lucas Lovat and Dávid Holman have been on the board for a long time, the stretched muscle will probably not allow Lukáš Pauschek to start. Another extreme defender, Vernon de Marco, is serving the last part of the three-match penalty for the red card.

Wasted has beautiful memories of Gibraltar

The Czech winger Zmrhal has pleasant memories of Gibraltar. In the first duel with Lincoln, he scored his team’s second goal and contributed to the victory 3: 1. “Of course, I remember the match outside, because we were able to win there. At home we played almost the whole second half without the excluded player, which we lost in the end. Tomorrow we have to be as effective as in the first match. We will prepare well, we know that “We don’t have an easy opponent. But if we want to think about the progress, we have to get three points. We are stronger on paper, but we have to confirm it on the field, it won’t work without it.” said the 28-year-old former player Slavia Praha, who returned to the Czech national team thanks to his excellent performances in the Slovan jersey.
