GLOSA: Baráž jako zbytečný výmysl. Lize by prospělo něco úplně jiného

SPORTIVO
Article arrow_drop_down

Kohoutek už před několika lety profifotbal opustil, Znojmo dávno zahučelo do třetí ligy, ale slova tehdejšího funkcionáře mají význam dál.

Český profifotbal viděl od jara 2019 už deset barážových soubojů. Vyznění? Rozmanitý děj, ale stejný výsledek a skóre 0:10 v neprospěch druholigových uchazečů.

Ne, baráž není ryzí česká švejkovina, při níž si ligové soubory prosadily, aby po neúspěšných sezonách jejich pád zastavil komfortní záchranný polštář. Baráže se hrají i v jiných, bohatších a úspěšnějších soutěžích. Za příklad vezměte Německo.

Do uznávané bundesligy se dá proklestit přes barážový dvojduel od roku 2009. Ze 17 případů se ale jen třikrát radoval mančaft z nižší soutěže. Za poslední dekádu uspěl pouze v roce 2019 Union Berlín.

V Česku se dál čeká na výjimku, která ale vlastně jen zase potvrdí pravidlo. V neděli k ní bylo opravdu blízko.

Vyškov odvetu s ligovou Duklou dovedl po dvou remízách až do penalt, kde se mu ale postup rozplynul. V souběžně hraném klání zase druholigová Chrudim v závěru svírala oslabené Pardubice a málem smazala dvoubrankové manko z úvodní partie.

Nepostoupila, ale výsledkem 1:0 se alespoň postarala o první a jedinou (!) výhru druholigisty v dosavadních 20 barážových duelech.

Ano, taková propast dělí druholigový výkvět od mizerných týmů z domácí smetánky.

Zbytečnější a trapnější je snad jen současný formát baráže v hokejové extralize, kdy po poslední úpravě nejhorší tým nejvyšší soutěže pauzíruje přes 40 dní, zatímco jeho vyzyvatel za stejnou dobu odehraje klidně dvě desítky úmorných bitev v prvoligovém play off.

Nerovné podmínky se odrážejí v následné baráži. Dovolíte připomínku? 2025: Olomouc – Dukla, 4:0 na zápasy. 2024: Kladno – Vsetín, 4:0 na zápasy. 2023: Kladno – Zlín, 4:0 na zápasy. 2022: Kladno – Jihlava, 4:1 na zápasy.

Hokejové baráže alespoň zmobilizují diváky, kteří plní stadiony. To se zpravidla u fotbalové obdoby říct rozhodně nedá a podobné bitvy zřejmě ani nebudou lámat rekordy televizní sledovanosti.

Český profifotbal se za poslední roky z mnoha ohledů ohromně zvedl. Zejména nejsilnější ligové značky si dost mákly, aby se o fotbale zase mohlo psát lépe. Zlepšování ale přináší i to, co by filmový Jirka Luňák z Okresního přeboru zhodnotil: „Pokus o novou věc, kterej nevyšel. Experiment, který se nevydařil.“

Baráž nabízí falešnou naději. Iluzi, že jde postoupit. Slepá vývojová větev. Stálo by za revizi, zda nepřináší víc negativ než kladů.

A možná ještě větší průšvih by se odhalil, kdyby letos jeden z druholigových vyzyvatelů v baráži překvapivě uspěl.

Chrudim by po historickém postupu musela hrát příští sezonu v Pardubicích, které shodou okolností mohla z ligy vyšoupnout. Vyškov kvůli nevyhovujícímu stadionu v sousedních Drnovicích dopředu věděl, že nehledě na barážový výsledek přestěhuje áčko do 280 kilometrů vzdálené Příbrami. Bizár na entou, kterou regule povolují a posvětil ji i svaz.

Odpovídající podmínky jsou vleklý problém druhé ligy.

„Mimo Zlín do ligy nikdo nepatří, u nikoho jiného tam nevidím žádný přínos pro první ligu,“ pověděl například v posledním díle pořadu Přímák Pavel Hoftych, jenž v sezoně pracoval jako zlínský konzultant a sportovní manažer Žižkova.

Bývalý forvard Viktorie a v současnosti fotbalový glosátor Jiří Sodoma v neděli na síť X připsal: „Baráž nám opět ukázala pouze to, že je neprůchozí a je jedno po jakém průběhu, prostě se to opět nepovedlo. Musíme zvýšit konkurenceschopnost týmů ve druhé lize. Zúžení obou profi soutěží by mělo být prioritou.“

Další vada baráže? Vrší problémy, okrádá ligu o dramatičnost a vyrovnanější podívanou.

Nechápete?

České Budějovice se současným řízením a kvalitou už letos neměly v lize co pohledávat, jen loňská úspěšná baráž jejich trápení prodloužila. Především pak zoufalé Dynamo v aktuálním systému pomohlo k záchraně Pardubicím. V dřívějším třicetikolovém formátu a dvěma přímo sestupujícími by jim 25 bodů na záchranu těžko stačilo, a to ještě Pardubice nyní hrály 35 zápasů.

Úprava postupů a sestupů by dávala smysl. Stejně jako zeštíhlení nejvyšší soutěže, když po republice ubývá míst, kde se dá bez pardonů kopat liga.

Třeba se pak jednou dočkáme baráže, v níž uspěje mančaft z nižší soutěže. A který bude mít mezi elitou kde hrát.

Bill Belichick’s UNC misses bowl eligibility after trick play by Duke

When Bill Belichick was introduced as UNC head coach 11 long months ago, he revealed, joked or lied that his first words as a child were "Beat Duke."His program fell short of that goal on Saturday, and the result is a disappointing season will officially end next weekend. The Tar Heels lost to Duke 32-25, pushing their record down to 4-7 and leaving them unable to reach bowl eligibility next week against NC State.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIt wasn't just any loss to their biggest rivals either. At home, UNC had come back from down 24-10 to take a 25-24 lead early in the fourth quarter. That remained the score until the final three minutes, when the Blue Devils lined up for a go-ahead field goal that would have given the Tar Heels the ball back with more than two minutes left and a […]

Washington Spirit vs. Gotham FC, NWSL Championship: Trinity Rodman’s status hangs over title match

Two star-studded teams in the Washington Spirit and Gotham FC will meet in San Jose for the NWSL Championship, a competitive match likely in store as each side chases their second league title, but the big question looms -- will Trinity Rodman play?The pair took contrasting roads to the NWSL Championship, the No. 2 seed Spirit advancing as the favorites in their matchups while Gotham played spoiler as the No. 8 seed, eliminating the runaway NWSL Shield winners in the Kansas City Current and last year's champions Orlando Pride.

Bills RB Ty Johnson fined $10,777 for pelvic-thrust TD celebration in win over Bucs

The NFL has fined Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson $10,777 for "obscene gestures" as part of a crackdown on unsportsmanlike conduct. Johnson did a thrust-heavy celebration after scoring a go-ahead touchdown in the Bills' win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11.With less than a minute left in the first half, Johnson broke away on third-and-5 to sprint 52 yards for the touchdown. To celebrate, Johnson grabbed his leg, seemingly pretending to have sustained an injury (à la the Kansas City Current's Lo'eau LaBonta), and fell before grinding his pelvis against the ground twice.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBuffalo went on to win the game, 44-32, behind a six-touchdown night from quarterback Josh Allen.The fine comes a couple of weeks after Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle was fined $14,491 for a similar celebration. Dowdle did "two pumps" (i.e., thrusted his pelvis twice) […]

Kyle Shanahan says Brandon Aiyuk’s guarantees were voided in July: ‘It takes a lot to get a contract voided’

The news that Brandon Aiyuk has likely played his last game for the San Francisco 49ers was a surprise on Friday, but the situation has apparently been simmering for months.Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan declined to say what specifically led to a falling out between team and player — there was a report of frustrations over Aiyuk failing to participate in team meetings and other activities — while claiming the contract battle was out of his hands:"I'm not going to get into the specifics of that. There were a number of things from July that, to me, is more of the business side, dealing with lawyers and stuff, and contracts. Stuff that is really not my area of expertise."Aiyuk has spent all season on the physically unable to perform list with a knee injury, which […]
