FK Pardubice

Pardubice midfielder Dominique Simon was the first to go to the cabin after receiving two yellow cards. VAR then flagged Pardubice’s Tomáš Solil for fouling in the half of the pitch, and coach Jiří Saňák had to leave the East Bohemian bench in second-half stoppage time.

“If they were outlaws? Yes, when the referee says so. That’s just their business. I don’t have the ability to appreciate it. We have to talk in the cabin about why it happened. I will not make any unnecessary statements,” said Saňák.

He eventually had to go to the back of the CFIG Arena, when referee Černý threw him off the bench after two yellow cards.

“I got two yellow cards for hitting. That’s stupid. I just hit twice. Everything fell on us,” said coach Pardubic.

On the other hand, he was well aware that no red cards were necessary for his team.

“If the players are fair, I don’t have to tell them anything. They had a big impact on the game. I don’t remember playing in nine for so long. I believe that everyone will come to a conclusion from this,” he said.

Pardubice lost 0:1 due to a penalty in the 86th minute, ordered by the referee at the hands of defender Václav Jindra. Roman Čerepkai took control of the penalty kick and converted without much trouble.

“I’m totally disappointed. The boys sacrificed themselves and, paradoxically, our Tomáš Zlatohlávek had the best chance of the game. Then you lose because of such a penalty? It’s mixed in me,” said a disappointed Saňák.

On the other hand, the football players of Teplice leave the eastern part of Bohemia satisfied. They got full points after four games.

“The stone has not completely fallen from my heart, but this is a very important victory. We all know what situation we are in, and I believe he will put new blood in our veins,” said coach Zdenko Frťala.

It must be said that Teplice did not have much chance in the double and then in the one-man advantage and he only made five shots on goal for the whole game.

“Even big teams have a problem with playing in power. It is difficult to overcome a position where eight players defend. I urged us to shoot from a distance because that’s the only way to get there. But I want to emphasize the home team, because they jumped on our shots amazingly. They played incredibly independent,” praised the visitors’ coach.

Under Frťala, the seat was already moving slowly, but with the victory in Pardubice, it returned to a more upright position.

“After the home game with Baník, I had thoughts about the end. I have to say he got me. Fortunately, I was not carried away by the disappointment. People have supported me in the city and everyone thinks we have what it takes to play better. Thanks to the people, I didn’t run away from the fight and I won’t do it again,” said the coach from Teplice.

In the end, he sent a rather funny story from the cabin. On the Teplice side, Michal Bilek was sent to the cabin after a red card. He collected his first yellow card in the first forty-five minutes.

“I noticed he had a card very early on. As soon as I got to the cabin, the number one topic was that he doesn’t need to get the second one. I appealed to him and he promised me that he would not get her. Well, it happened,” Mr. Frťala made those present laugh. His statement brought to mind the legendary statement of Jose Mourinho, when he made a similar claim to Mario Balotelli.
