FC Viktoria Plzeň lost 2:1 in Olomouc. At the post-match press conference, coach Miroslav Koubek evaluated the team´s performance.

How much did Lukáš Kalvach miss today´s game and what is his health condition?

Lukáš had a high temperature, so a classic virus, which is a common theme these days. Today he was lacking in directing the positional play, in his overview and also in some way in creativity in the back line. Those are his strengths.

You scored both goals today after corners. How did you prepare for standard situations?

We knew Sigma had strong standard situations. We prepared for them, but unfortunately we reacted badly in the match. You can prepare, but you also have to show it on the pitch. We lost the game in a five-minute stoppage time. Otherwise, we entered the game great, we were active, energetic and we were leading 1-0. But then we threw everything away due to mishandled standard situations.

How do you explain the five-minute blackout?

That´s the question we have to answer. We behaved irresponsibly, we were lacking focus and inconsistency. In other games, this is not our problem. We need to be more concentrated and aggressive defensively, and we weren´t today.

Is today´s defeat a big blow for you?

It´s an unpleasant and mostly unnecessary defeat. We put our opponent on the back foot for nothing. Sigma did a great fighting performance. In some situations you need a little luck. We created pressure, but they defended well. We literally antagonized the football god with our approach to the standards and thus made the game worse. I´m sorry. I can´t fault the team for not fighting or playing tepidly. Everything was fine in that regard. But football has many variables and one of the key factors is the behaviour in standard situations and we failed in that today.
