When my hair fell out from the goal celebration, the main heroine of the derby was laughing

You can’t help but wish this girl. Football ferocity is combined with elegance, speed with skill, talent with hard work. Do you have any idea how many football comebacks she has had? It is proof that even falling on your face is a step forward.

Now, twenty-five-year-old Szewieczková is quite possibly in the shape of her life. A week ago, she scored against Liberec, and on Saturday in Eden, she broke Sparta twice. And with a bit of luck, she could celebrate a hat trick. She hit the bar with a hard shot with her left hand, and the goalie headed her attempt. But after changing sides, she got her taste. Twice now.

“Derby is always more nervous than another match, but we really wanted to dominate at home. For all of us, it is a great motivation and a wonderful feeling to play in Eden, moreover, before a record attendance. The atmosphere was captivating. When my hair fell out from the goal celebration, I waved my hair here and there,” Szewieczková grinned.

It was March 2019 when she played in Eden for the first time. Slavia – Bayern Munich, Champions League quarter-finals, 1:1 draw and 6,882 spectators. Biggest attendance for women’s football at Eden yet.

But the native of Havířov, who came to Prague for football at the age of 14, also experienced moments when she felt bad. Almost exactly a year ago, she shone in the national team with two goals against Morocco (2:0), participants in the last World Cup. And he seemed to be back from major knee surgery.

But the struggles with the knees did not end. At last April’s derby with Sparta (1:0), she was already among the marauders, returning to the pitch only after eight long months. She lost a successful fight for promotion to the Champions League against Cluj and a duel in Eden against Olympique Lyon.

“I know that everything is temporary in football. I enjoy days like this all the more. We feel comfortable in the cabin, we can rely on each other. But we’re not done with the winning derby yet,” she said after enjoying the traditional thanksgiving in front of Tribuna sever.

On Saturday, the petite blonde will celebrate her twenty-sixth birthday, a day later she can win the championship title, her third in a row. Slávistky will play against Slovácko. And “Ševi” will not be missing.
