Slavia Prague Coach Slams Olayinka for ‘Moment of Madness’

Head coach of Slavia Prague Jindřich Trpišovský is unhappy with Peter Olayinka following his sending off on Saturday.

Olayinka was given his matching order after headbutting Slovan Liberec defender, with two minutes left to play in the encounter.

The forward was having a great game until the incident, He scored and won a penalty that gave his side a 2-1 lead with two minutes left to play.

He quickly went from hero to villain as his dismissal changed the game and the Slavists conceded a late goal by his compatriot Victor Olatunji.

Reacting to Olayinka’s dismissal Slavia coach Trpišovský said, “We will deal with it clearly. It was when we were leading 2-1, there is no reason for such a reaction,” Trpišovský was quoted by Slavia’s official website.

“In addition, he was one of the best and most active players in the match, on the other hand, we should have an overview and finish it differently.

“There was no reason for such a reaction, whether he was fouled or not, that is a question, a matter for judgment, but he cannot react like that.

“It’s one thing that he sent us into, which caused how we finished, another thing is that we will miss him in the next games.

The coach however offers support to the striker, who is leaving the club when his contract expires at the end of the season.

“It’s an incomprehensible short circuit that has never happened to him in the entire five years he’s been here.

“We will definitely deal with it with him, I wonder what the reason is that he reacted like that in the first place,” He concluded.
