Czech fans are satisfied with the victory against Kryvbas, as they faced a worthy opponent, which could, under different circumstances, get a confident victory over Victoria.
Photo: denik.czEveryone notes the contribution to the victory of the 16-year-old player, who dared to take a long-range shot, scoring a beautiful goal and making his team believe in success. The Czechs consider Kryvbas a stronger opponent than Hearts, with whom they can play in the next round of qualification, so they are confident that to reach the group stage they need to pass the Ukrainians, and the Scots will not give Victoria any problems.
Parisek: All's well that ends well. Because the start of this match was terrible for Victoria. And it could have ended much worse for our club, if not for a small miracle from Panosh.
Jindr: That goal was great! What a shot, what a goal! That little guy did well, he saved the team from going down. I don't think we could have won if it wasn't for Panosh's amazing goal.
Ales: Well, it was enough not to let Kryvbas play freely and apply high pressure to them, as they collapsed like a house of cards. And it was not quite what I understand, because the game of the team should have been analyzed long ago, not analyzed in the locker room. Vashulin scored a goal, but otherwise he is probably the worst player who has ever played in Victoria's offense.
Kralik: The first half was disgusting for Victoria, Kryvbas played stronger and deservedly won before the break. Fortunately, the second half was great. I am glad that in the locker room the coaching staff found the right words for the players and inspired them to win.
Trexler: Sparta, Ostrava, Mlada... I'm glad that Victoria was not on that list of losers. Czech clubs have too often started to have serious problems with not the strongest opponents. After the first half, I had a feeling that Victoria would not be able to please us today either. It's good that they managed to correct the situation.
Ernest: Kryvbas has good players in the squad, but not enough of them to play at this level. This played in our favor. If the opponents had more high-class players, they would have defeated us today with an indecent score.
Hroch: Shakhtar play for the whole Ukraine. There are no strong clubs left there. What to say, if one of the best clubs of the last season decided not to even play in the European Cup and decided to end their existence.
Michal: If Ukrainians played soccer as well as they fight... They would be the best in Europe! Fortunately for us, Kryvbas players are obviously not the best in their profession.
Kvassay: I heard such an opinion that Ukrainians find it difficult to play soccer and win because they are worried about the war. I will say a bit harshly, but you either worry about the war and then do not play soccer, or go out on the field and do not make excuses.
Zdenek: It is said that the coach of "Kryvbas" after the beginning of the full-scale war went to the army and even visited the front. I respect such people, for whom honor and love for the country are not empty concepts. I wonder what it's like for him to work with players who obviously don't care much about the result?
Baca: I think that everything is already decided for Victoria in this confrontation. The first half was difficult, but we found an antidote to the attacks of Kryvbas. I do not think that they will be able to surprise us again in the second match.
Sedlak: For some reason, Victoria always have successful matches with teams that represent the eastern part of Europe. This is already some kind of a nice tradition for our club. The game with Kryvbas confirmed it.
Rohla: A moment ago, "Victoria" had a disgusting match, and then we saw this goal... I must admit that Panosh saved the team and managed to surprise the opponent. If not for this miracle goal, Victoria would have lost to Kryvbas today.
Pisko: There are no reasons to panic, but I just want to remind you that Betis is waiting for us in the 4th preliminary round of the Conference League. Therefore, we either pass Kryvbas and 99% end up in the Europa League, or lose to the Ukrainians and 99% say goodbye to the European Cup.
Tringela: As for me, a draw would be a fairer result of this match. I am afraid that our players do not relax too early and believe in their way to the next round. "Kryvbas" is a dangerous opponent, we should not underestimate them even after the victory.
Ladinec: Well, after the first half it was horror and misery, and the second half was a little better, but still I didn`t really like Victoria`s game. There are some things to work on.
Vojta: Decent idea and courage to give 16-year-old Panos a chance. Coach's intuition worked. If not for this young guy, today everything would have ended very badly for Victoria and very well for Kryvbas.
Benes: I will not rush to praise the team, because Kryvbas created enough chances for a confident victory. We were lucky to some extent, but I can not say that it was an easy victory on class.
Vaculik: Classic - Victoria and Slavia will move forward in the European Cup tournaments, gain points, and the rest will confirm how desperately clumsy Czech soccer is.
Oslanec: The match consisted of two different halves. The first one was embarrassingly tragic. Fortunately, we only lost it 0:1. The second half - with a lot of chances for both teams, beautiful goals of "Victoria" and will be remembered for our victory. But "Kryvbas" was not worse, so it would be foolish to underestimate them before the return match.
