Back to EpisodesEx-Slavia player joins Sparta
Description
Matěj Jurásek has crossed the biggest divide in Czech football.
The former Slavia Prague player has joined Sparta Prague on loan — but his arrival hasn't exactly been welcomed with open arms. On his Sparta debut against Teplice, some fans made their feelings very clear, chanting “My tě tu nechceme!” — “We don't want you here!”
And then things got even more interesting after the final whistle, when Jurásek went over to speak to the Sparta ultras. In this episode of the Footglish Podcast, we tell the story of Jurásek's controversial move from Slavia to Sparta and use it to learn useful English expressions related to football rivalries, conflict, and reconciliation. You'll learn expressions including:
⚽ cross the divide ⚽ antagonise someone ⚽ wind someone up ⚽ make amends ⚽ put the past behind you ⚽ win someone over ⚽ earn someone's trust ⚽ prove your critics wrong
A real football story. Real English. Footglish.
