Viktoria Plzen Coach Pavel Vrba concedes Roma “quite simply were better than us” in a 5-0 Champions League thrashing.
The Czechs were pegged back at the last minute to draw 2-2 with CSKA Moscow in their opening game, but were never in the running at the Olimpico.
“The better team won and it was a thoroughly deserved result,” confessed the Coach in his Press conference.
Viktoria Plzen Coach Pavel Vrba concedes Roma “quite simply were better than us” in a 5-0 Champions League thrashing.
The Czechs were pegged back at the last minute to draw 2-2 with CSKA Moscow in their opening game, but were never in the running at the Olimpico.
“The better team won and it was a thoroughly deserved result,” confessed the Coach in his Press conference.
“Unfortunately, we conceded an early goal, but that wasn’t decisive, as quite simply Roma were better than us. We defended badly and Edin Dzeko scored three times.
“We did have two scoring opportunities in the first half and were unable to make the most of the counter-attacks. I hope next time against Real Madrid we will be more convincing, decisive and determined.”
The group has taken a very strange twist, as CSKA Moscow beat Real Madrid 1-0 to go top on four points.
