They have not played a competitive match for more than a month. The last time they drew on October 4 was in Olomouc. Then they just waited and waited. And now one of the hits of autumn is waiting for them.
“The pause was long. The whole year is very specific and we are happy for every match. In addition, it is one of the biggest matches that are played in our country. Most of all, we want to play the same result as in May, “points out David Limberský on the club’s website for a 2: 1 home win.

“We are very much looking forward to the restart. We play at home after a long break, plus with Sparta … I believe that we will be well prepared. We will have a huge motivation to win, “adds coach Adrian Guľa.
The form of Victoria is a big question mark. “I think we trained well. But most of all, we realize that we need to win, and I believe that Sparta is the ideal opponent to start a line. We have the quality to show that we want to fight for the top positions, “assures Limberský.
Weakened but encouraged
Sparta missed nine players in the European League against Celtic on Thursday. Nevertheless, coach Kotal saved Dočkal and Krejčí senior, for example, on Sunday.
Kotal is cunning. Celtic took over, celebrated the victory of his life and still thought of Pilsen

“Some changes in the line-up took place at the last minute, for example in the defense we did not play like this once. However, the team is stomped, we had two days to get to Pilsen together. I would not be afraid, “says the returnee from Letna, David Pavelka.
Sparta can be tired after Thursday, on the other hand encouraged.

“Our program is full. Return on Friday morning, another difficult match on Sunday. I believe that victory over Celtic will be a permitted doping for us, a psychic boost. After two defeats, it will help us a lot. In Pilsen, however, a completely different match awaits us. She and we know very well what it will be about, “Václav Kotal is going to Viktorka.
“Honestly, it’s not ideal for us that we haven’t had a fierce match for a long time and Sparta will be at stake … The situation is specific, everyone can find positives and negatives in it. Even so, I believe that we are relaxed and we will manage the match, “Limberský is not afraid.
Sparta will try to break its Pilsen curse. “There was no time to celebrate after Celtic, we had two days to prepare before Pilsen. Only after her can we rest during the national team break, “advises the forward Lukáš Juliš, the author of Thursday’s hat-trick.
