“We were too naive”

“We were too naive”

“It was not enough from the start,” said defender Marvin Potzmann. “In the end we were too naive.” It was by no means Slavia Prague’s best line-up that made LASK look bad 4-1 in the round of 16 first leg. Roughly sharing playing time on the wing, 16-year-old twins Adam and Milos Pudil made their debuts – because Slavia coach Jindrich Trpisovsky knew their speed would hurt athletes.

LASK only ran after them, but thanks to Husein Balic’s 1:2, they still had the chance of a good starting position for the second leg on Thursday in St. Pölten (9 p.m.). “I could have lived well with a 1-2 draw,” said coach Andreas Wieland, whose team was “too greedy to equalize” after the goal. When asked about the chance in St. Pölten, he paused meaningfully: “The fact that it ended up being 4-1 makes the situation for the second leg… difficult.”
