Ústí banned from joint press conferences, Oulehla fumes over soft penalty: “Put VAR in the second division”

Ústí nad Labem coach David Oulehla had to face reporters alone after his team’s 1-1 draw with Slavia Prague’s reserve side, despite the club’s recent attempt to bring opposing coaches together for post-match press conferences.

The idea had attracted attention after the previous match against Dukla. But the initiative ran into resistance from the football association’s leadership, and the joint format was not repeated after the second-division clash between Viagem and Slavia’s reserve team.

“

We are not allowed to be together, we received a reprimand, and it is punishable by a fine. Strange, in my view.

Oulehla said the club had been reprimanded and warned that a joint appearance could lead to a fine. “We are not allowed to be together, we received a reprimand, and it is punishable by a fine. Strange, in my view,” he said.

He was also frustrated by a soft penalty awarded during the match and used the occasion to renew his call for video assistance. “Let there be VAR in the second division,” he said.
