Baník Ostrava continue their poor performances: on the field of Slovan Liberec, they played against ten players in the 38th minute after the dismissal of Gebre Selassie, but the Silesians did not use power play because they drew only 0: 0. How did Baník manager Pavel Vrba assess this duel?
Eleven games, eleven points, a score of 14:15: this is Baník Ostrava’s record in the current league season. After eleven rounds, Pavel Vrba’s men have only two wins, four losses and five draws.
And it was the Slezans who scored another goal in the match against Liberec, when they played on the pitch from the 38th minute against a weakened opponent.
It was then that Theodor Gebre Selassie prematurely ended his career in this match, when he first saw a yellow card after a foul on Srdjan Plavšič, but then referee Tomáš Batík analyzed his intervention on video, after which it became clear that the 35 years old – the old defender will receive a red card.
Moments later, Ladislav Almási had a bigger scoring opportunity, but his header only hit the center of Liberec’s goal.
The Slovakian striker had another chance to score only in the second half, precisely in the 68th minute, when his shot narrowly missed the right post of the opponent’s case.
The guests did not create other great opportunities, on the contrary, the hosts were more dangerous in the end. They produced more shooting attempts in the second half as well.
Coach Vrba’s statement
If we play ten people from the 38th minute and take a point from that, that’s not enough. Sure, we played away, but we didn’t make a performance that we deserved to win. Apart from a chance that Almási had there, we have not created any opportunities. “ said Vrba na Press conference.
Vrba or Almasim
“Of course he is a key player. You yourself know that last season he scored 18 goals, or less than 20 (Almási scored 13 goals the previous year – ed). His goals decided the result and that Baník have won and got a lot more points than we have now. So it’s a shame it’s not in the form it was last season. Unfortunately it doesn’t change the situation it is in, which obviously we lack, and that’s why we have so many points How much we have”.
Plavšič as the best Baník player
“I think Plavša was one of those players today who gave an above standard performance, he was very active and played a lot of balls. I think he was the best in the transition phase, when he was able to accelerate the game. game and get to the pre-final stage, so I see him offensively as the best player in Baník. “ concluded the coach Vrba.
