Baníkovci nechtějí být v Edenu za gratulanty. Bod stačit nemusí, budeme hrát nadoraz, slíbil Hapal

Lepší vzájemné zápasy v sezoně (1:3, 1:0 a 2:1) hráčům Baníku v závěrečném účtování nepomohou. V případě bodové rovnosti totiž platí pořadí po základní části soutěže a tu Plzeň zakončila na druhém místě. Ostravané byli o bod třetí.

„Bude nutné vyhrát, víme to a půjdeme si za tím, přestože to bude velice složitý úkol,“ řekl trenér Baníku Ostrava Pavel Hapal před utkáním, které bude mít v Edenu výkop v sobotu 24. května v 16 hodin.

Situace v nadstavbové skupině je před závěrečným kolem pořádně napínavá. Plzeň, která hraje doma s Jabloncem, si to na dálku rozdá s Ostravou o druhé místo, a tedy o účast ve druhém předkole nemistrovské fáze kvalifikace Ligy mistrů. Jablonec bude na hřišti Plzně hájit čtvrtou příčku, která zaručuje druhé předkolo Konferenční ligy, poslední „pohárové“ místo chce ale i aktuálně pátá Sparta. Ta ztrácí na Jablonec bod a doma bude hostit už jistě šestou Olomouc, které má po porážce ve finále domácího poháru co vracet.

Trenér Baníku Ostrava Pavel Hapal během utkání nadstavby Chance ligy ve skupině o titul v Plzni.

„Víme, co všechno se může udát. Pokud Plzeň zremizuje, bod nám stačit nebude. Viktorii ale čeká velice těžký zápas s Jabloncem, který, aby zůstal čtvrtý, musí zvítězit. Tedy za předpokladu, že Sparta porazí Olomouc. Může se prostě stát cokoliv,“ vyjmenovával možné scénáře Hapal.

Ostravané už mají jisté 2. předkolo Evropské ligy, souboj o Ligu mistrů ale vzdávat nechtějí. Přestože se Slavií v této sezoně dvakrát prohráli 0:1, na výhru nad sešívanými čekají v lize už dlouhých sedm let a na úspěch v Edenu dokonce skoro třináct. „Půjdeme za vítězstvím, i když to bude velice složité. Navíc Slavii budou předávat pohár v domácím prostředí, takže určitě nebude chtít jen tak prohrát,“ zdůraznil Hapal.

Naději mu dal výsledek z minulého kola v Jablonci, kde Slavia v nekompletní sestavě ztratila utkání, přestože ještě v 80. minutě vedla 2:0. „Měli v sestavě docela dost změn, tak uvidíme, s čím vyrukují na nás. Někteří jejich kluci mají dovolenou, ale Slavia má široký kádr a kvalitní mužstvo. Každopádně my pro úspěch uděláme maximum a budeme hrát nadoraz,“ slíbil trenér Baníku.

Při výhře 3:2 proti Spartě měl Hapal k dispozici téměř kompletní kádr. Ze základní jedenáctky scházeli jen potrestaný stoper Michal Frydrych a zraněný kapitán Ewerton. Do sestavy se po skoro měsíci naopak vrátili po zranění Tomáš Rigo a po trestu za vyloučení v pohárovém semifinále s Olomoucí Michal Kohút.

Oba odehráli excelentní zápas. Rigo k zásadním soubojům uprostřed hřiště přidal nahrávku na vítězný gól Kohúta, který ke vstřelené brance přidal dvě asistence. „Je skvělé, že jsme po těch dvou utkáních ze začátku nadstavby znovu naskočili na vlnu ze závěru základní části. V posledním kole do toho dáme všechno, budeme věřit, že ty tři body získáme a že Jablonec potrápí Plzeň,“ přál si exslávista Rigo.

Michal Kohút, Tomáš Rigo z Ostravy a David Lischka z Ostravy se radují z gólu.

Ať už utkání v Edenu dopadne jakkoliv, zakončí ho slavnostní okamžik a předání poháru pro nového mistra české fotbalové soutěže. Ostravané ale do Prahy jen jako gratulanti cestovat nebudou.

„Určitě jim pogratulujeme, jelikož mají titul, a doufám, že oni nám budou zase blahopřát ke druhému místu,“ vyřkl plán na sobotní podvečer záložník Baníku Michal Kohút.

How the NASCAR sponsorship model is changing: ‘A massive shift’ in Amazon era

It was a jarring sight earlier this year when the Joe Gibbs Racing hauler carrying Denny Hamlin’s car had a large vacancy on its side paneling typically filled by the branding for Hamlin’s main sponsor.For nearly 20 years, FedEx occupied this spot, serving as the primary sponsor for Hamlin’s No. 11 team, and in many years did so by sponsoring the vast majority of the races on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule. Such was the relationship between driver, team and sponsor, it became one of the most identifiable in NASCAR history.AdvertisementBut the partnership between FedEx and JGR ended after the 2024 season, and a replacement still hadn’t been secured by late January when the No. 11 team’s hauler had pulled into Charlotte Motor Speedway before that weekend’s season-opening Clash exhibition race. That JGR wasn’t able to immediately land a replacement […]

Liverpool have opened talks with Bayer Leverkusen over the signing of playmaker Florian Wirtz.Communications between the two clubs had already been opened after an agreement was reached for Liverpool to sign right-back Jeremie Frimpong.Any move for the 22-year-old would represent a club record signing for Liverpool and would also make Wirtz the most expensive ever German player.AdvertisementOn Friday, The Athletic reported Bayern Munich believed Wirtz would not join them this summer as he was on track for a move to Anfield, having also been a transfer target for the German champions.Leverkusen CEO Fernando Carro said in April Wirtz had a “very high chance” of staying at the club this summer, but The Athletic reported earlier this month that Liverpool had made contact with the player’s representatives after holding a long-standing interest in acquiring the attacking midfielder.Wirtz signed a new contract with Leverkusen in 2022, […]

Cleveland Guardians starter Ben Lively to undergo Tommy John surgery

DETROIT — Guardians starter Ben Lively will undergo Tommy John surgery on his right elbow in the coming days, ending the 2025 season for a journeyman pitcher who had found a home in Cleveland’s rotation. Lively is expected to miss 12 to 16 months.Lively wanted to pitch through the pain. He said he hesitated to speak up when he felt forearm discomfort, first during a start in Washington, D.C. on May 6 and again six days later against the Brewers. He dubbed it “the craziest mental game of all time” as he tried to focus on each hitter while the tightness in his arm became more alarming.AdvertisementHe felt even more conflicted because he was cruising on the mound. He had never pitched this well, he said.  In three May starts, spanning 14 innings, he allowed only one run on eight […]
