“Former Striker Petr Švancara Comments on Czech Football and VAR Controversy”

Slavia is first again, even if only by a score. But I’m starting to trust her more in the title fight. Wednesday’s match between Sparta and Pilsen will tell a lot, a lot will be revealed in it.

If Viktorka won at Letná, which could easily happen, she can get into the game again. I am not saying that it will be easy for Slavia in Baník, but I am very interested in these matches.

After the punishment, Peter Olayinka returned, he proved that he belongs to the pillars of Slavia. It does a perfect job in every way on foreigners, which I’m stricter on. He is an above-standard player.

Exclusion and punishment is a great experience for him, he will be very careful, he won’t do such a stupid thing again. He contributed a lot to the victory in the Vršovice derby.

Slavia learned a big lesson from the match against each other in the cup and did not let the opponent do anything. I really like the fact that he can prepare for a specific match.
She prepared well for the derby with Sparta, as well as for Bohemka. That’s why I see her as the main favorite for the title.

Sparta lost to Slovakia, no big surprise, this match will always be exciting. Sparta is an extremely hated team there and will never have it easy there. The entire region is preparing for it for a week.

A great fight, great atmosphere, many fans came from Prague. I was not surprised that the home team led, nor did I expect Sparta to win.

In the television studios, during the analysis of the penalty, which Sparta equalized, everyone came to the belief that it was not a foul. I don’t understand at all that there is a procedure to review these situations, and then I’m amazed when there isn’t.

After all, multiple judges, including VAR, must agree on a penalty. If he is not convinced, he should instruct the principal to inspect the procedure. Football is against itself if that doesn’t happen.

Three matches were actually decided by halftime, when Slavia, České Budějovice and Liberec were leading 3:0. There is hardly any theoretical trap for a turnaround.

It doesn’t happen often, and I don’t think it’s a fundamental lack of quality on the part of the losers, it’s more of a coincidence of events that come out. All chances will be converted, long shots will be successful. But it proves how prepared and focused the home teams entered the matches.

At half-time with the score 0:3 in Liberec, Brno coach Martin Hašek withdrew the league’s top scorer Jakub Řezniček to save him for the next battles, as he himself said. Communication between player and coach is extremely important.

The player must accept the decision in such a way that something does not interfere with him, so that he does not get offended. There must be no friction point. Then it’s fine and makes sense to me. The match against Zbrojovce did not go well, the key one now comes against České Budějovice.

As I learned, the Pardubice – Hradec Králové derby was last played on East Bohemian soil in 1960. It’s a complete blast for the region and I’m terribly envious of the wonderful stadiums both clubs will have. Here in Brno, it’s a big topic and it still doesn’t lead anywhere. They finished it there.

The derby had a wonderful atmosphere, it was decided for Pardubice by the fighter Pavel Černý, who played for Hradec, and there is also the saga of the whole family, his grandfather and father also played for him, offering more beautiful stories.

The stadiums will help the clubs to find a twelfth player in the form of fans, Hradec can play at the top again next year, and they still have to reckon with Pardubice in the fight for survival. They’re not giving up yet.

In my opinion, Zlín is already finished, it has major complications.

I don’t pay much attention to referees, but I’ll make an exception. Miroslav Zelinka refereed 257 matches, catching up with Pavel Královec in the number of most whistled matches. I know that it is from us in Brno. It can be seen that quality referees are also born in the most beautiful city in the world.

I didn’t know he played junior league, but that says something too. He understands football. He has maintained his quality for a long time, it is good that there are such referees so that young people can learn from them.
