Slovan suffers fourth defeat in the Champions League in Linz

The match in Austria brought another significant problem in Slovan's defense. Linz exploited the shortcomings in defending and beat the Bratislava goalkeeper four times. The result followed on from the team's previous unconvincing performances in the league phase.

Criticism was also voiced directly from the dressing room after the match. One of Slovan's defenders pointed to the worsening situation and described the team's performances as problematic. After yet another defeat, the players thus opened up the question of the team's current level and its ability to compete with opponents in the most prestigious European competition. tnlive.sk (Markíza) ↗

Coach Yaya Touré also confirmed that Ukrainian footballer Danylo Ignatenko will not continue with Slovan's first team. The reason was said to be his behavior during preparation for the match, which the coach described as unacceptable. This freed up a spot on the team's roster. ta3.com ↗

After the four-goal defeat, Slovan will have to address above all the organization of its defense, discipline and the overall performance of the team. Further developments in the Champions League will show whether the team is able to improve in both results and play after a series of failures.
