From the beginning, we tugged at the shorter end, Gulas acknowledged after the elimination

“We are all disappointed that we did not manage to turn it around. More or less from the beginning to the end we pulled for a shorter end. We did not imagine that we could end this soon, but it is appropriate to congratulate Olomouc, she played fantastically,” said Gulaš on club website.

The West Czechs gained 91 points in the season, they kept in the top half of the table all the time and even led part of the year. “It’s a pity, because this one failed week is a whole year’s work. It was a weird season for us in all respects. We had a lot of injured players and the line-up was still sticking. On the other hand, we also need to look for positives, a lot young players and that is a great promise for Pilsen, “said Gulaš.

According to his teammate Tomáš Mertl, the first goal was decided today, even in the third duel, the West Bohemians did not manage to get into the lead. “We believed that we would win today and that we would add the first point. The first goal was definitely decisive. We entered the match very well, we were ready and we believed that we were able to win here.

Olomouc once again confirmed that it is an excellent defender in the playoffs. “It’s hard with Olomouc when he gets into the lead. It worked out for us at home, where we both started badly. That’s why we wanted to score the first goal today, unfortunately it didn’t work out,” said Mertl, who took some of the blame for elimination of himself and the elite formation of Pilsen.

Gulaš, Mertl and Filip Suchý did not prevail, the key pair Gulaš – Mertl did not score at all in the preliminary round. “Undoubtedly there were no goals from our line, it also played a major role. Olomouc was very well prepared and tough. She has also worn out over the years, she has an experienced team and she was just better. It’s very frustrating,” added Mertl.
