The 28-year-old representative was the first lady to be a guest of the traditional show. Svitková already belongs to the best shooters in the history of the women’s national team, she became the Footballer of the Year four times. She glosses Premier League matches as a TV expert.

The last chance for the guests from Vršovice to get closer to the title.
In the table with four rounds to the end of the superstructure, they lose four points.
“Slavia should try to score as soon as possible. We have to break Sparta, which won’t be easy because Sparta don’t play bad football. Little things will decide,” estimates Svitková. At the same time, he acknowledges that he is the strongest rival in the last few years.
“Sparta built a stable team. He can handle even the matches in which they are not doing well. It wasn’t like that before. You can see the work of Tomáš Rosicky, who believed in the direction in which the club would go,” praised the sports director of Sparta.
The team under coach Brian Prisk presents itself with a bold style and a 3-4-3 formation. Last year, during the superstructure, she gave up her typical performance during the derby. On the contrary, she concreted, which in the final showdown earned her a win in the derby and eventually the title.
“If Sparta plays as it has so far, Slavia has the power to win. If Sparta defends well and conscientiously, it will be very difficult for them,” thinks Svitková, and she herself can empathize with the role of the Slavists. “I prefer it when, as a player, I know what I’m getting into and what I have to prepare for with my opponent. The moment the team is playing a certain way and suddenly changes something, it’s not ideal.”
Shouldn’t the instructions for Sparta?
