They got through to the Champions League, but they were not the better team doing it — their football in the deciding tie was ragged and they needed luck.
“Jeho herný prejav v Slovinsku kríval na obe nohy. Všetci sme čakali niečo lepšie.”Its display in Slovenia limped on both legs. We had all expected something better. our translation
Touré has Slovan trying to dominate games with the ball.
“„Vniesol do Slovana modernú futbalovú dominanciu – aktívny štýl hry.”"He brought modern football dominance to Slovan: an active style of play. our translation
Yaya Touré keeps changing the eleven, and he throws in teenagers from the club's own academy. Do not assume the players you saw last time will start.
“Fanúšik Slovana sa zároveň môže pravidelne tešiť na novú tvár v zostave, ktorej dá Yaya Touré priestor ukázať sa a presvedčiť o svojich kvalitách.”At the same time, a Slovan fan can regularly look forward to a new face in the line-up, to whom Yaya Touré gives room to show himself and prove his qualities. our translation
Turan's own plan: keep the ball and make you chase it until you tire, then send on fresh attackers for the last half-hour.
“План полягав у тому, що ми випустили атакувальну лінію з Мендози, Траоре й Аліссона, щоб завдяки постійній грі з м’ячем вони втомили суперника, так ми планували більше розкрити їхні зони та вже в другому таймі випустити Невертона, Кауана Еліаса й Педріньйо, аби додати ще більше динаміки в останній третині поля.”The plan was that we started a front line of Mendoza, Traoré and Alisson so that through constant play with the ball they would tire the opponent, opening up their zones more, and then in the second half bring on Newerton, Kauã Elias and Pedrinho to add even more dynamism in the final third. our translation
Shakhtar are stubborn without the ball and dangerous the moment they win it.
“Sjachtar trok af en toe aan de noodrem (zes gele kaarten), maar voelde dat er met een omschakelmoment nog steeds wat te halen was.”Shakhtar pulled the emergency brake now and then (six yellow cards), but sensed there was still something to gain from a quick transition. our translation
Their Brazilians are the danger, but Ukrainian coaches think they have been coasting and taking opponents lightly. Watch whether they are actually running.
“Ще після матчу з «Харковом» я звернув увагу на те, що іноземці якось упереджено ставляться до суперника, працюють не на максимумі, – сказав Бабич.”Already after the match with Kharkiv I noticed that the foreign players are somehow dismissive towards the opponent, they are not working at their maximum, said Babych. our translation
