In Ireland, the highest autumn-spring competition is played, with 19 rounds already played in the Premier Division. Shamrock is in the lead with 38 points ahead of Sligo Rovers. He played at home against Dundalk on Friday, and after goals by Liam Scales, Sean Gannon, Aaron Greene won 3: 1. “We were really happy with the performance and of course the result. I think the team played really well and I don’t think there was anyone in the match who could be said to have saved money. We worked extremely hard on each other, ” said coach Shamrock.
The Irish are looking forward to Slovan, but Coach Bradley’s words speak of respect. “They dominate Slovak football and they have real quality on the whole field, top quality with many representatives. However, we are excited about it. I know it will be difficult, but we are looking forward to it. We watched Slovan quite a lot. We saw about ten matches, of course their last week’s matches as well as their matches from the end of last season. So we have a lot of information. We know what their strengths are, but also others, in any case we are very much looking forward to this confrontation. “
The coaches of both teams will, for the first time, sew tactics for a double match after changing the rule of a higher weight of the goal achieved on the opponent’s field. The European Football Union (UEFA) abolished it after 56 years. In the case of a balanced score, the winner of the double match will be decided from the new season only by extra time or an eleven shot.
“It’s fairer and better for offensive football. Because the teams will not just defend outside after the home triumph 1: 0. We don’t have to calculate, it’s fairer now. But in football it’s the hardest to score a goal, that’s its essence. We need to be cold-blooded and rude. ” dodal Weiss.
