A peasant in a comet? Good choice, Brno needs to work, experts agree
Hiring Sedláček is a good decision. He is experienced and caught well in Olomouc. Tomek and Klimez still lack experience. Neither was convinced that he could hold the cuff for a long time. If Kometa wants to play for the top positions, it needs such a goalkeeper, “said the legendary Brno defender Jaromír Meixner.
The 31-year-old pupil of Zlín hockey Sedláček spent the years in the prestigious KHL for the Latvian team Dinamo Riga.
A native of Zlín, he also has extensive experience from the Czech extra league, in which he caught two hundred and seventy matches. For comparison, Tomek and Klimeš have a total of about fifty starts. “It simply came to our notice then. He is a stable goalkeeper. The comet mainly had to react to the situation in the goal area and reached for a free goalkeeper, “added TV expert Milan Antoš.
In recent seasons, Sedláček has been a hockey traveler. Since leaving Riga in 2017, he has replaced eight clubs, Kometa will be ninth. “There is definitely a warning signal that he is changing teams. But when you’re under pressure to fail like a Comet and need to get up, you have to take risks and you don’t have much choice. Brno now needs a goalkeeper who will have a good success rate and after it, “thought Antoš.
Sedláček succeeded in a short engagement in Olomouc, where he came as a replacement for the long-term injured Branislav Konrád. In seven matches, it was enough to catch two net accounts and the percentage of success was 92.2 percent. “Of course, it also depends on whether the players in front of him help him in the Comet. The defense is a crazy mistake, sometimes it makes my hair stand on end, “says Meixner of the permeable Brno defense, which collected fifty-nine gates in nineteen duels.
Tomek, who appeared in fourteen games, got more space between the three poles, Klimeš jumped to seven, he caught the last three. “The comet probably thought Tomek could handle the role of number one, but it doesn’t work out. Brno has nineteen matches played, during which time something has already been shown. It’s not an impulsive decision from Kometa that someone would wake up in the morning and say that they will bring a goalkeeper, such a decision will be born for a long time, “Antoš remarked.
The following two duels before the national team break, the people of Brno will play with the original goalkeeper pair Tomek and Klimeš. On Friday from six o’clock in the evening, Kometa will welcome the fifth Pilsen at the home stadium, and on Sunday in a traditionally sparkling duel ten minutes before half past four in the afternoon, Prague’s Sparta.
