Prague – The Slavia footballers will enter the home cup today, playing in the third round in the third-league team Venétky nad Jizerou. Slavia is the only one remaining undefeated in the top competition, and players from the wider squad, including substitute goalkeeper Aleš Mandous, will also get a chance in the cup. The red and white coach Jindřich Trpišovský is looking forward to meeting the home coach Tomáš Staňek.
“I played with him in the juniors and then he helped me train. He trained with me in the youth categories for about 10 years, we drove to Cologne for two years in his company car. So I am very obliged and grateful to him,” said Trpišovský.
