“We didn’t want to lose this match” – Zafer Newspaper

In the 5th week of the UEFA Europa League, Slavia Prague lost 2-1 to Fenerbahçe, which they hosted at home. Slavia Prague Coach Jindrich Trpisovsky made a statement at the press conference held after the match. Expressing that it was a bad result, Jindrich Trpisovsky said, “It was a good match. It was a bad result for us. We started the match well. We showed a good performance in the first half. We could not evaluate the positions. Unfortunately, we could not get any points at the end of the match. We could not make use of our good game and we were not successful in terms of efficiency. Although we found goal positions, we were not skillful in the last shots. We were better in the first half. In the second half, they and we were good. It was a painful defeat. We didn’t want to lose this match. Unfortunately, we conceded a goal as a result of our mistakes. My team showed a good performance. We could not take advantage of the goal positions we had in the penalty area. We made some mistakes. Then we conceded a goal into an empty goal. I don’t remember us making such a serious mistake in defense. The environment was very nice. Our audiences were amazing. “Unfortunately, we left the match without any points,” he commented.

‘MOURINHO SHOWS HIS OWN STYLE IN EVERY TEAM’

Making a statement about Fenerbahçe Coach Jose Mourinho, Trpisovsky said, “We opposed a coach we have followed throughout our lives. We became rivals with Rome. He shows his own style in every team he plays. All teams are making preparations against their opponents. We do too. We also saw this preparation in Rome. We see where the team is after Mourinho left for the last three seasons in a row. But if we had been ahead 3-0 or 3-1 in the second half, of course the situation would have been very different. Unfortunately, this is the situation. We made our preparations, but we failed in the offensive part in the last third of the match. We couldn’t reach the goals. We couldn’t take advantage of goal positions. We will continue to try to get points from the matches. We have other matches ahead of us. He concluded his words by saying, “We want to perform well and get points in the upcoming matches.”
