Slavia Prague are considering taking criminal action over the after-match attack on Ondrej Kudela.

 

The Czech champions came out on top in a stormy clash at Ibrox last night but it is the events after the match that has caused concern.

 

Kudela has come in for character assassination from those around Ibrox but Sparta have delivered a strong defence of their players character and reputation.

 

Additionally, they claim that after he was physically abused by Kamara the player and Steven Gerrard fled to the home changing room!

 

This afternoon Slavia stated:

Ond?ej Kúdela is one of the team captains elected in secret polls by the players who choose characters that enjoy their trust. He is a decent and modest person with a strong moral integrity, popular amongst the players and fans, a football gentleman. He categorically denies and refutes any allegations of racism. 

We are shocked that his reputation and the club’s reputation are being smeared without a single piece of evidence. The only “alleged” evidence is the player covering his mouth – which Ond?ej does on a regular basis when he talks to his teammates during our games. 

Under the patronage and in the presence of the UEFA delegation, the coaches of both teams, Ond?ej Kúdela and Glen Kamara met. After the arrival of Slavia representatives, Ond?ej was physically abused by the player of Rangers FC who then fled into the locker rooms followed by the manager Steven Gerrard without a single word of apology. The incident is thoroughly described in the match protocol and Slavia will consider filing a criminal complaint after their return to the Czech Republic. 

The movement of Slavia players and management was unprecedentedly restricted after the game. The players and staff were protected by the Czech Embassy in London and local police. We would like to express our gratitude for their professionalism.

We have felt a great respect to Rangers FC for their recent football performance and glorious history. However, we wish for a UEFA investigation into all incidents related to the recent match and will fully cooperate. 

That second last sentence seems over the top about the 2016 Petrofac Training Cup winners but it seems clear that Slavia expect strong action from UEFA with Gerrard and Kamara clearly viewed as the accused.
