Brännström after the Historic Upset: “Creates a Belief

Triumphant Return: Mlada Boleslav Shocks Real Betis in Historic Win

Mlada Boleslav pulled off a monumental upset, defeating Spanish giants Real Betis 2-1 in a historic victory that marked the Czech club’s first ever triumph in the group stage of a European tournament.

After three consecutive losses in European play – against Noah, Lugano, and Vittoria – the victory was a much-needed morale booster for Brännström‘s team. Three months into his second foray abroad – after a spell with Hajduk Split in 2021 – Brännström, who has been leading Mlada Boleslav since late summer, couldn’t have been happier.

“It’s盘

a little easier to get up in the morning when you’ve won,” Brännström cheerfully declared. “This was a bit extra special.”

When questioned about what had clicked for his team against the La Liga powerhouse, Brännström remarked, “It was a bit like when Roma come to play on artificial grass in Borås. It’s clear that it’s not their dream match.

So it gives us a better chance when they go down a few percent. But then we were also very good, especially when we won the ball. We hit a lot of forward passes and made them run a bit more than they intended.”

The atmosphere in Mlada Boleslav was electric. “It was fun, I can say,” Brännstrom revealed. “Now I don’t have that many Czech friends, but the ones I talked to said it was pretty big overall around the country. There was talk of it being historic, so there were happy faces.”

Mlada Boleslav have been juggling the demands of European competition and domestic play.

Brännström acknowledged the tendency for European commitments to eat into valuable training time.

“When you come to a new club, you can wish that you get full weeks of training. So it has taken some time, but now it is starting to look good,” explained a focused Brännström.

Czech League Form Stumbles, But Belief Remains

Bulislav’s European

triumph provides a welcome boost as their domestic form has taken a dip. They currently sit in eleventh place in the Czech league, performing slightly below expectations. But they’re just three points away from sixth place, a position that could mean European qualification.

“We have had some really tough games where we should have won, so yesterday was much needed,”

admitted Brännström. “Our journey here is not yet over. Most confidently.

He continued:

“he kind of thing that helps when you’re fairly new to the club to create a belief.

Beyond the match results Brännström has been enjoying life in the Czech Republic.

“I’m having a good time, good people around the club, good staff and we have what we need, so it’s a good football existence. It’s not Split where you used to have a beach apartment
, so it’s on top, but it’s still very good,” he said with a chuckle.

Mlada Boleslav’s hopes of pushing for a playoff spot in the Europa conference League have been reignited after a mixed start that included several frustrating draws.

“We had a really heavy loss where we missed a penalty against Lugano, and we were in Portugal and played really well and should have got points. But those performances still made us feel like we have a chance. And now after the victory yesterday, we feel a little alive again,”

mused Brännström, reflecting on Lanzarote’s journey thus far in the competition.
