How they play

Sabah's coach on Slavia: the moment they win the ball it goes straight forward, where their attackers are already waiting.

“To znamená, že jakmile získají míč, balon jde okamžitě nahoru, kde jsou hráči připraveni útočit.”

That means that as soon as they win the ball, it goes straight forward, where players are ready to attack. our translation

They defend man-to-man all over the pitch. Whoever you are, someone is going with you.

“Neviděl jsem žádný jiný tým hrát takovým způsobem v defenzivě. Ať už je to pod vysokým tlakem, nebo v bloku. Prostě brání jeden na jednoho.”

I haven't seen any other team defend like that. Whether it's pressing high or sitting in a block. They simply defend one-on-one. our translation

In the derby they picked four centre-backs and simply man-marked the dangerous players out of the game.

Slavia run you into the ground: they press again and again, and the moment they win it they go.

Their defence plays right up near the halfway line, marking man for man, and opponents lose the ball under it.

“Zároveň 37 defenzivních akcí do 40 metrů od branky soupeře naznačily, že obhájce titulu bude opět hrát vysokou obranu, a to stylem jeden na jednoho. Slovácko mělo s tímto přístupem obrovský problém a ztrácelo míče. Grafika pak krásně vykresluje průměrné pozice kontaktů s míčem slávistických hráčů – dokonce celá obrana je téměř u půlící čáry.”

At the same time, 37 defensive actions within 40 metres of the opponent's goal suggested the champions will again defend high, man to man. Slovácko had huge trouble with this and kept losing the ball. The graphic shows the average positions of Slavia's touches: the whole defence is almost on the halfway line. our translation

This season's Slavia keep the ball more: long passing moves, not the long balls they were known for.

“Slavia měla ohromných 15 sekvencí s alespoň 10 pasy, což bylo nejen opět nejvíc ze všech, nýbrž také číslo, kterému se v minulé sezoně ani nepřiblížila.”

Slavia had a huge 15 sequences of at least 10 passes, not only the most of anyone again but a number they did not come close to last season. our translation
