“I saw in the video what happened to him. The intervention on him was terrible. Exactly awful, because it could have been a serious injury. We goalkeepers have a special relationship with each other, because we know ourselves about similar situations, “the 29-year-old goalkeeper of the German national football team, Leno, returned to a short meeting with Ondřej Kolář before the trip to the Prague retaliation, which was not just a gesture.

“I needed to tell him that I was glad he was okay and that I hoped his face would be okay. But I also added that we will win and advance to the semifinals of the European League, “said Bernd Leno at an online press conference in London.
At home, the Gunners failed to win because Holeš’s head saved Slavia a draw, but the German legionary among the Arsenal’s poles is convinced that his team will manage Thursday’s retaliation in Prague and advance to the last four teams in the European League.

“Can you imagine the next year’s European Cups without Arsenal?” He replied with a rhetorical question asking how frustrating it would be for the Gunners to pack from the European scene and their last hopes of a trip to Cup Europe next season would probably be definitively buried.
“It’s a strange idea, so we hope something like this doesn’t happen. Arsenal belongs on the European scene, “he replied, not forgetting to pay tribute to Slavia and her campaign in the European League.
“They’re like a comet. Great team and very tough opponent. At home, we controlled and dominated the match, but they are dangerous. There is a risk of standards and counterattacks. But even for them, a 1: 1 draw from the first quarterfinals is dangerous, “Leno reminded him of what everyone in Eden is well aware of.

The indecisive result imported a week ago from London is promising, but at the same time treacherous.
“As soon as we score the first goal, Slavia will be under a lot of pressure. That’s why we want to score first. And as soon as we add the second goal, it will be over, because the home team would have to give us three goals. After all, it’s the only way to go. We have no other option, “the Arsenal goalkeeper indicated what scenario the English team has in store for the Prague revenge.
But Leno looks even further. Until the final duel of this year’s European League … Of course, when the Gunners defeated Chelsea 2: 1 last August and won the much-appreciated FA Cup in history, the German goalkeeper on the field at Wembley was missing.

“It was a very bad moment for me, of course, but I was injured and you simply won’t be affected by such situations. But even so, it was great that we won the FA Cup, because we qualified for the European League. That’s why it’s a great motivation for me now to get to the finals and end the season with a trophy. “
