Slavia coach Trpišovský on derby: I had a blank in my head after the fan invasion

The highly anticipated Prague derby between Slavia and Sparta is set to take place on Sunday, marking a significant milestone for Slavia's coach, Jindřich Trpišovský. This will be his 30th time leading his team against their fierce rivals.

The upcoming match holds particular weight as it is the first encounter between the two clubs since a chaotic incident in May. During their previous meeting at Eden Arena, the game was disrupted when fans stormed the pitch, leading to its suspension.

Reflecting on the disruption, Trpišovský admitted to a feeling of disbelief and disorientation. "I had a blank in my head. I kept waiting for someone to come and say it didn't happen," he recalled, highlighting the surreal nature of the event. The fan invasion cast a shadow over the intense rivalry, leaving players and staff in a state of shock.

With the league resuming its traditional schedule, the upcoming derby on Sunday at Letná stadium is expected to draw significant attention. Fans and pundits alike will be watching closely to see how both teams perform, especially in the wake of the previous match's unsavory conclusion. The incident has undoubtedly added an extra layer of tension and anticipation to this already fierce contest.
