In addition, the visiting favorites had to catch up with the entire second half. “We played against an enthusiastically playing opponent. They have about twelve boys who have passed through the King’s Field and are fighting very hard. The enthusiasm lasted the whole match for them, they managed to escape. We are sorry, we wanted two points, “said Královopolský coach Pavel Hladík.
Maloměřice scored for the second time on the weekend. “It simply came to our notice then. There were a lot of exclusions on our side, some of which shouldn’t have been. That took our strength. Thirty seconds before the end came an insidious foul, which could have been a red card, but the referee let the play continue and we have to draw. A lot of things happened there, “said the home pilot František Urban, who, like Hladík, saw the yellow card.
It was only his second duel on the bench of the last team in the extra-league table. “It simply came to our notice then. For some ten seasons I have worked in women’s teams. I trained women and played for the title, now men are fighting for rescue. I still have to know, but I feel good in Brno. The club created very decent conditions for me and the assistant Jiří Řezník provides very good information, “said the Slovak coach.

The 36-year-old coach decided to jump into the unknown after the end in Slavia, Prague. “We had a problem finding a new sponsor, and after our agreement ended, I started looking for another job in November. In the middle of the season, it is difficult to find an engagement, but Mr. Kolář called me (club manager Aleš Kolář – editor’s note) with this offer. After Christmas I stopped in Brno, we talked for hours about everything and I accepted it. The dynamics and speed of decision-making among men is at a different level, which is new to me, “he compared the differences.
In the last few months, they have had to come to terms with the withdrawal of support in King’s Field. Among others, the Serbs Nikola Jezdimirovič and Nikola Sekulić left the club. “They were the players we relied on in both attack and defense, and their loss marked us. But we couldn’t hold on. Whether it was the health condition of Sekulič’s girlfriend, whom we had to let go of, or the amount of severance pay for Jezdimirovič, “admitted Hladík.
The club replaces the left clutch and former representative Michal Kasala, who was injured before the start of the spring season until the end of the season. “It is a very difficult time. We had to react and bring Luke Kikanovich. The team is not in tune. Luka has two matches behind him, he had to play, for example, three quarters of the match, and we have four training days with us. During that time, it is simply not possible to fit it as we imagine, “he added.

Hladík’s charges have seventh place in the 12-member table. However, due to the autumn quarantine, they have two or three good matches compared to other teams. “We are in a decent position for the playoffs. Now, however, we have a series of five difficult matches in quick succession, when it will be decided in what position and whether we will go to it at all. I can’t say that we are somehow satisfied, but we continue according to a long-term plan, which we manage to fulfill, “said Hladík.
Last year, the people of Brno narrowly escaped the elimination fights. It looks more promising this year. Thanks to the already traditional help of Balkan legionnaires. “We focus on the environment of Serbia and today, we can scout there. We already have about the sixth player from the region and we are satisfied with them. They will learn Czech very quickly and, in addition, they are economically acceptable for the extra league, “he said.
