Provod stated that Arsenal prepared for set pieces for a long time, suggesting that they were trying to waste time. He also felt that the referee did not rush them to restart play when they were leading, which he saw as a compliment to Slavia Prague's defensive efforts.

Provod also discussed the penalty awarded to Arsenal in the first half, which was scored by Bukayo Saka. He believed that the penalty should not have been given, claiming that the ball went from Gabriel's head to his hand, and not the other way around.

Arsenal has had a strong start to the Champions League, beating Athletic Bilbao, Olympiacos, and Atletico Madrid without conceding a goal. However, Provod's comments may prompt officials to take a closer look at the team's time-wasting tactics.
