Jurásek? Former Benfica coach says he played better than expected | OneFootball

David Jurásek made his debut with an assist in the 1-1 draw of Slavia Prague on the field of FK Pardubice, precisely where he played his last game for the Czech club before heading to Benfica, and his coach, Jindrich Trpisovsky, expressed great satisfaction.

"He played better than I expected, immediately resumed our routines. It was clear that he knew exactly what to do on the field," praised the Slavia Prague coach, after the left side of the defense was vacated by Malick Diouf's departure to West Ham.

The arrival of the 25-year-old athlete brings dynamism to the Czech team. "We were practically attacking only on one side, so it's great to be able to count on the other flank again. The full-backs are extremely important to our game and this was proven. Almost all the great opportunities arose from the wings."

Despite this draw, Slavia Prague remains at the top of the Czech championship in the 20th round, with 46 points, 5 more than Sparta Prague. It's worth remembering that Jurásek cost 3 million euros, after being sold to Benfica in 2023, for 14 million.

This season, David Jurásek – valued at 4.5 million euros – played 18 games: 10 in the Turkish League, four in the Conference League qualification, two in the Europa League qualification, one in the Turkish Cup, and another in the Czech League. In the 1,124 minutes he was on the field, the defender did not score any goals and made one assist.
