Jasně, fotbalisté jsou za top výkony placeni, mají odvádět svoji práci. Nejlépe, jak dovedou. Bez ohledu na současný stav tabulky.
Jenže ve chvíli, kdy celou sezonu podřídíte zisku mistrovského titulu a pak se vskutku stanete šampiony, by se dal mírný pokles výkonnosti čekat. V Edenu ale nenastal. I když sešívaní trénovali až od středy. A dali volno některým oporám. Tomáš Chorý šel na plac až z lavičky, Oscar strávil mezi náhradníky celý zápas. Jindřich Staněk, Vasil Kušej a Lukáš Provod ani nefigurovali v nominaci. „Lehčí zdravotní problémy,“ vysvětloval trenér Jindřich Trpišovský.

Statistika zápasu Slavia–Plzeň
Slavia protočila sestavu, zdánlivě už nehrála o nic. Jak hráči takové situace prožívají?
„Oslavy byly krásné a věřím, že ještě budou. Samozřejmě to není úplně jednoduché. Každý to má trochu v hlavě,“ přiznal Schranz. „Ale věděli jsme, že se fanoušci přijdou podívat na Slavii. A že chtějí vidět nějaký výkon. Snažili jsme se k zápasu s Plzní přistoupit jako ke každému jinému. Ne stylem, že o nic nejde. Ukázali jsme, že jsme profíci, a porazili extrémně silného soupeře,“ těšilo slovenského univerzála.
Právě jeho branka jako by vystihla mentální nastavení českého mistra. Slavia na Plzeň vlétla a po devíti minutách její aktivitu zužitkoval právě Schranz. Ze zdánlivě ztracené pozice dosprintoval svoji vlastní hlavičku, donutil stopera Sampsona Dweha k chybě a natřikrát překonal brankáře Viktora Baiera. Nejprve ho trefil, odražený míč i kvůli teči vracejícího se Jana Palusky orazítkoval břevno. Vyšlo to až do třetice.

Fotbalisté Slavie se radují z vítězného gólu proti Plzni (4:3).
„Byl to takový pinball. Štěstí se obrátilo na moji stranu, to se v minulých zápasech nestávalo,“ culil se Schranz.
K míči patří i kniha
Před sobotním utkáním s Plzní vyvrcholil unikátní společensky odpovědný projekt SK Slavia Praha, do kterého se v uplynulých týdnech zapojilo 262 dětí z 37 dětských domovů po celé zemi. Cílem projektu bylo rozvinout u mladé generace lásku ke čtení a posílit čtenářskou gramotnost. V rámci celkových 165 868 minut čtení se děti a mladiství mohli seznámit a pobavit s osobnostmi, jako jsou opory trenér Slavie Jan Bořil nebo Lukáš Provod, trenér Jindřich Trpišovský, hráčka Slavie Tereza Szewieczková, zpěvačka Marta Jandová nebo klubový šéf Jaroslav Tvrdík.
Přístup svěřenců potěšil i trenéra Trpišovského. „Tým si užil zasloužené oslavy. Chtěli jsme fanouškům poděkovat. Za celou sezonu, jezdí s námi všude. Apelovali jsme na to, abychom měli chuť a ukázali, že tomu dáváme všechno. I když je oficiálně rozhodnuto,“ radoval se kouč ligového šampiona.

Lingering questions for the Patriots looking ahead to minicamp and OTAs
A month before the NFL Draft, coach Mike Vrabel sarcastically mocked the praise he and his New England Patriots had gotten for “winning” March with their free-agency splurge. So it’s not hard to imagine how he’d react to the near-universal love the Patriots have gotten for their draft class, earning high marks from pundits across the internet. He knows success in the offseason is irrelevant if wins don’t follow in the fall.AdvertisementNow, though, Vrabel can get to work. Organized team activities begin May 19. Minicamp is in June. That sets the table for the start of training camp in late July.Still, even if free agency and the draft went well for the Pats, plenty of questions linger. How could they not after back-to-back 4-13 seasons?So with the Patriots on the doorstep of OTAs and with the roster-building portion of the […]
Why Cowboys’ potential committee approach at running back could yield better results
FRISCO, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys don’t know how their running back situation is going to materialize. No position group on the team has been shaken up like that room has, from top to bottom.Derrick Foster is the running backs coach following his one-year stop working with Alvin Kamara in New Orleans, after three years helping to elevate Austin Ekeler in Los Angeles. Rico Dowdle and Ezekiel Elliott are gone. In their place, the Cowboys signed Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders in free agency. Deuce Vaughn and Hunter Luepke return, though neither is guaranteed a roster spot once the dust settles on training camp.AdvertisementThe key to the entire operation may be the Texas product the Cowboys selected on the third day of the 2025 NFL Draft.“At the end of the day, in the NFL, you’re looking for explosive playmakers,” Cowboys […]
NBA Playoffs picks, odds, schedule for Tuesday: Cavs try to tie Pacers, Warriors-Wolves Game 1
The NBA’s conference semifinals are thoroughly awesome every year, even if they don’t quite get the stakes and glamour of later series. The second round is an ideal combination of talent (no sputtering eight seeds) and depth (the last time we get playoff doubleheaders on a nightly basis).This is where Kevin Durant needed an extra fraction of an inch, where Steve Nash needed to plug his face with gauze and where Kawhi Leonard put fate in a pinball machine. Let’s see what’s in store for us this time.AdvertisementTuesday’s slate yields two matchups worth watching. First, the East-leading Cleveland Cavaliers rally to host the insurgent Indiana Pacers for a pivotal Game 2. Then, we begin the Anthony Edwards bildungsroman … unless the winningest organization of the past decade has editing power, of course. The Minnesota Timberwolves-Golden State Warriors series teems with “Hardwood […]
As the Italian Open begins, U.S. tennis’ eyes are trained enviously on tricolore success
ROME — Nearly 50 American tennis players will descend on Rome this week for the Italian Open, the signature tournament for a country whose recent success in developing talent has become an inspiration for the rest of the world — especially the U.S..Italian tennis has been punching far above its weight lately, producing the country’s first world No. 1 in Jannik Sinner and a bevy of young talent, despite operating with far less money and less than 20 percent of America’s population. So when the U.S. Tennis Association (USTA) embarked on a reorganization of its player development system, its leaders put the Italian Tennis Federation (FITP) under a microscope to try to figure out the ingredients and recipe for their secret sauce.AdvertisementEveryone in the sport watched the past 10 years as Italy added a slew of lower-level professional tournaments, giving […]
How to watch the Baltimore Orioles in 2025: Schedule, broadcast info, blackout rules and national games
Keep the Orioles hat on, no matter what anyone says.From Wild Bill Hagy’s “roar from 34” to the suitably-named Fired Up Guy, from “O! say” to “oh, indeed,” Baltimore loyalists have an earnest relationship with their hometown baseball club that deserves to be celebrated, even amid the funky start to 2025. There are still five months for the season to turn around, and the young core of Gunnar Henderson, Jackson Holliday and Adley Rutschman has what it takes.AdvertisementBaseball can sometimes be challenging to follow, just by the sheer enormity of regular-season games. It’s harder than ever due to blackout restrictions and the tech sprawl.

Giants offseason winners and losers: Do Kayvon Thibodeaux, Evan Neal have futures in NY?
The New York Giants hope every player added to the roster this offseason will help turn the team into a winner.
