“If we win, we jump six points from the relegation zone, that would be exactly what we need. But Karviná plays good football, has a number of high-quality, physically-disposed foreigners, we know very well that it will be a battle,” midfielder Jakub Janetzký is clear.
Last year, before the end of the competition, Zlín was in a much more difficult situation, at the last moment it was struggling from the 16th relegation rung, it succeeded in the ultimate, very final match in Brno, and then a treacherous playoff awaited.
“As coach Červenka rightly says, the league is just starting for us, it will be a matter of little things, to prepare well, to take advantage of the home environment and the favor of the fans, but nothing easy awaits us on Sunday and it is clear that we will face Karvina one more time afterwards. We mustn’t blow our chance. We remember very well how mentally demanding it was last year, we played for bare survival in Zbrojovce until the last seconds.” he recalls the team’s leading scorer and the driving force of its offensive force. He himself feels good before the decisive stage of the season. And his feelings are shared by the only woman who watches the training bustle, Kateřina David in the role of physiotherapist.
“I am convinced that the final phase of the year will work. I feel the positive energy implanted by the entire coaching staff, that will also be a very important factor.” says the expert on male muscles and the footballing souls of her charges.
Zlín is playing for one important thing on Sunday. If he wins and Bohemians beat Pardubice at home, the cobblers would go to five duels of the superstructure from thirteenth place. And that guarantees three matches on home turf, which can be very important.
