Zdeněk Šenkeřík critiques the recent lack of goals in the Czech football league, noting excessive caution in key matches.
In his regular commentary for Aktuálně.cz, former striker Zdeněk Šenkeřík highlights the disappointing scoring average in the recent round of the Czech football league, where only nine goals were scored across several matches. He expresses his frustration as a former forward, lamenting that both fans and players likely expected more excitement and goals from crucial matches involving top teams such as Slavia and Plzeň. Šenkeřík observes a trend of excessive caution among players leading to a lack of thrilling play, particularly in matches involving first-six teams.
He also reflects on other games, including the Prague derby between Bohemians and Dukla, which failed to deliver high-scoring action, and comments on Ostrava's ongoing struggles in the league. Moreover, he draws attention to standout performances by goalkeepers like Jakub Surovčík, who made crucial saves for Sparta, including a denied penalty, and praises various other keepers like Klemen Mihelak from Jablonec and Milan Heča from Slovácko for their exceptional skills displayed in recent fixtures.
Šenkeřík's analysis points to a broader trend in the league, where fear of defeat seems to outweigh the desire for attacking play, thereby affecting both the enjoyment of the matches and the overall competition. His insights underline the importance of bold strategies in football to rekindle excitement among players and fans alike, suggesting that the current tactics may not be conducive to what spectators hope to witness on the pitch.
