“It was not clear about the line-up until the morning, because we were still waiting for Maty (Matoušek) to see if he could prepare,” said Liberec coach Pavel Hoftych.
He missed fifteen players against Hoffenheim in the European League, and on Friday he also lost his right back Koscelník and defender with captain’s armband Jan Mikula and Kamsa Maru. Against the yellow-blue, he chose a set with three stoppers, Jugas, Kačaraba and Purzitidis, with his co-workers.

In connection with Matoušek, in a five-member defense, he also solved the post of the right half-back, on whom he untraditionally built Christian Michal. “I have to praise him, because he doesn’t play this role, he’s more of a midfielder. But he managed it very well, even though Moulis and Vukadinovich were constantly rushing into his space in the first half, “he said, adding to the performance of the 19-year-old midfielder. plus Marios (Purzitidis) played another match after three days, which is why we chose a formation with three stoppers, which is complemented by extreme half-bucks. 2 or 4-5-1, “Hoftych explained.

“It’s an interesting system and in this mood, in our situation, it was probably the best solution that coaches could choose. It paid off. We also talked about it with the boys, who don’t have much training in defense, and they also welcomed it, “said one of the heroes of the match, goalkeeper Milan Knobloch.
“But it was even worse for the midfielders and for Imad Rondič in the attack, because they are then required to constantly move. It was probably not a very good system for them, but we welcomed it in the back, “smiled Knobloch, who seized several great chances of the home team and caught Jakub Řezníček with a penalty after an hour of play.

“Before the match, we would take a point and the three are a complete fantasy for us in this situation. It is a bit of a paradox that we managed to win in Teplice in this situation, because normally we do not do very well here. The whole match Teplice was clearly better on the balloon, we waited for our chances and we changed two. After the red card, it was already a total defense on our part. We were just waiting to see if they would give us a goal or not, “Knobloch admitted.
Did they not consider postponing the match in Liberec due to a number of coronavirus-induced absences? “We would probably be able to do it if we appealed to hygiene or LFA, because we had a lot of sick players. But we appreciate that the league has started and that we can play it with the risk of losing to teenagers and players. However, we did not want the league to stand for us and set a precedent for it. I believe that other clubs will behave in the same way, “Hoftych concluded after a valuable triumph.
