Discover Tonda’s Astonishing Progress in Record Time Praises Provod Kinského
Lukáš Provod, a 29-year-old player, is looking forward to reuniting with his former teammate Antonín Kinský, who recently transferred from a Prague club to Tottenham. The two will meet on the field when Tottenham hosts Slavia Prague for their sixth match in the UEFA Champions League.
Antonín Kinský’s Rapid Rise
Provod praised Kinský’s quick ascent to becoming the goalkeeper for a top European team. Kinský’s journey can serve as an inspiration for upcoming Czech players. He had only six months of first-team experience with Slavia before receiving the offer from Tottenham, following a year and a half of playing time, which included a loan spell at Pardubice and prior to that, time at Vyškov in the second league.
Match Preview
- Provod acknowledged Kinský’s challenges at Tottenham under Coach Thomas Frank, noting that Kinský has only played two matches in the English Cup.
- Despite the stiff competition, Provod remains supportive, having not spoken with Kinský before the match but looking forward to reconnecting.
- Provod’s insights from the goalkeeping coach suggest Kinský is well-informed about his performance in London.
Provod realizes that breaking their 16-match winless streak in the Champions League will not be easy, particularly in a stadium where Tottenham has not lost in European competitions for 22 matches, dating back to February 2020.
Challenging Opponent
Provod explained the high caliber of Tottenham’s squad, stating there are minimal weaknesses. He emphasized the team’s goal to play confidently and successfully during the match.
Support for Slavia Prague
The Slavia contingent will have strong support, with a sold-out away section accommodating approximately 3,000 fans. Additional supporters of the Czech league leaders are expected to fill the surrounding areas.
Club owner Pavel Tykač and chairman Jaroslav Tvrdík are among those traveling to London for the match. Former teammate El Hadji Malick Diouf, who recently moved from Slavia to West Ham, also paid a visit to greet his old colleagues during their pre-match training at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
