Hořká pilulka pro Kováče. Skupinu o titul jsme odevzdali hrozně lacino, štve libereckého kouče

Article arrow_drop_down

Liberec má za sebou turbulentní základní část, byl poslední zápas jejím symbolickým obrázkem?

Myslím, že jo. Dotahovali jsme, byli jsme silní a když jsme to měli ve svých rukách, možná se projevila tíha okamžiku. Je možné, že ještě nejsme tak úplně silní. Ale už jsem věřil, že to dohrajeme. A zase přišla obrovsky hořká pilulka, když účast ve skupině o titul bohužel padla do rukou Olomouce.

Rozhodla psychika?

Určitě. Nejhorší na tom je, že dvakrát vedete a víte, že vám stačí bod. Když jsme dali na začátku druhého poločasu gól na 2:1 a hráli jsme v té době líp než v první půli, tak jsem si vůbec nedokázal představit, že bychom zápas mohli ztratit. Ale vidíte, že fotbal je takový… Dostaneme gól po jednoduchém nákopu dopředu. Hlava v tom hrála obrovsky důležitou roli. Všechny tři góly padly po situacích, kterým se dalo úplně jednoduše zabránit.

Kouč Liberce Radoslav Kováč během zápasu s Karvinou.

Přitom se stoperem Dominikem Plechatým v sestavě jste téměř pět set minut neinkasovali, nyní kvůli karetnímu trestu nehrál a obdrželi jste hned tři góly. Jak moc chyběl?

Myslím, že extrémně. Škoda, že Knápa (Knapík) nebyl ještě úplně fit, aby mohl nastoupit od začátku zápasu. Necítil se na to. Ale měli jsme tam velice zkušeného Mikyho (Mikulu), bohužel to úplně nevyšlo. Nebylo to dobrý, změny se na součinnosti projevily a bylo to vidět i na výkonu Gáby (Gabriela). Bohužel jsme si s tím neporadili. Dostali jsme neuvěřitelně laciné góly. Potrestalo nás to v ten nejhorší možný okamžik.

Proč jste vystřídal už v poločase Michala Hlavatého?

Měl problémy s kotníkem. Sice říkal, že je stoprocentně připravený, ale viděl jsem, že ho kotník limituje a pohyb neměl tak dobrý jako obvykle, proto jsme se rozhodli pro změnu. Chtěli jsme tam dát čerstvého Zybiče (Zyba), který má taky formu.

Karvinský Ebrima Singhateh svádí souboj Aziz Kayondo z Liberce. Zároveň se jednalo o důležitý souboj, který určoval složení nadstavbové skupiny o titul.

Budete hodnotit základní část spíš pozitivně, když jste se dokázali v jejím závěru obdivuhodně zvednout a bojovat do poslední chvíle o skupinu o titul, nebo vás spíš bude mrzet zahozená příležitost hrát zápasy s top pětkou?

Těžko se mi na to teď odpovídá. Teď je to pro nás obrovské zklamání. Měli jsme na to, ale nedokázali jsme to prostě zlomit. Myslím, že jsme se určitě posunuli. Pět set minut jsme nedostali gól, to je pět zápasů, spousta věcí a organizace hry se zlepšila. Kluci jsou nesmírně šikovní, ale když si zpětně vezmu, že takhle těžké zápasy možná hrál jen Maso (Masopust)… V tomhle směru byl tlak v kontextu celé sezony velký, ale ta ještě neskončila.

I pokud byste remizovali s Karvinou a skončili šestí, osm bodů na pátý Jablonec byste dotahovali těžko. Co vás tedy nejvíce mrzí na absenci ve skupině o titul?

Top šestka by pro nás znamenala konfrontaci s nejlepšími, abychom v těžkých zápasech viděli, jak daleko jsme se posunuli. A my těžké zápasy umíme hrát, umíme potrápit nejlepší týmy. Ještě jsme však nedozráli tak, abychom dokázali vyhrát zápasy, které jsme vyhrát měli, namátkově s Karvinou nebo doma s Duklou. Na tom musíme určitě pracovat a umět tyhle zápasy vyhrávat. Potvrdilo se, že takové nám dělají problém. To je ten největší důvod, proč ve skupině o titul nejsme.

Santiago Eneme vstřelil Karviné první gól a na druhý nahrál. Jak velkým příslibem do budoucna jsou pro vás jeho poslední výkony?

Sami vidíte, že se na takovou úroveň dostal až po osmi měsících. Poslední tři zápasy hraje stabilně a najednou jeho výkony strašně moc rostou. Měl zdravotní problémy, stoprocentní začal být před třemi čtyřmi týdny. Možná i to je ten důvod, proč jsme to nedokázali sladit trochu dřív. Chtělo to čas. Krollis přišel úplně bez přípravy. Trpěl se zády. Ten až bude taky stoprocentní, strašně moc nám pomůže. Má obrovskou kvalitu. Zápas sice nevyšel, ale všechno není špatně. Zklamání je však nyní obrovské. Nedokážu si pomoct, ale skupinu o titul jsme odevzdali hrozně lacino.

Trey Hendrickson, Bengals reportedly in contract talks after minicamp holdout

<!-->  All-Pro edge rusher Trey Hendrickson's contract dilemma with the Cincinnati Bengals seems to have taken a positive turn, with both sides reportedly resuming discussions this weekend.Hendrickson, who led the NFL in sacks last season with 17.5, voiced his displeasure over his contract situation all offseason.
