A big disappointment, but we didn’t sell the match, Ševčík said after the defeat with Žižkov
On Saturday, the creative midfielder recorded the tenth start in need, he jumped into 118 first-league duels for Zbrojov, and together he accumulated 277 starts in the highest competition. “I really enjoyed it, my career was very long and I really squeezed out of it. I put everything into it, I project the beginnings where I have been everywhere. I like Brno a lot, when I came ten years ago, I felt at home here from the beginning. I’m glad I was able to come back for a year and see what happens next. I need to rest now, but I would like to stay with football, “added Zavadil.
Adrián Čermák, Peter Štepanovský, Jan Moravec and Damián Bariš also said goodbye to the Brno jersey. The first two jumped in the starting line-up, the next tandem they watched the duel only from the stands. “They are guys whose contracts have expired, they have already extended them, which does not go on indefinitely. If we do not make this decision, we are closing the door on the arrival of other players. We tried these guys in some way, they had the opportunity to make a name for themselves in the future. This is a completely normal thing in professional football, “said Brno coach Richard Dostálek.

At the start of training, he wants to welcome first-league reinforcements instead of outgoing footballers. “The idea of our implementation team is to start preparing for twenty-four players in the cabin. We know how many players are leaving, so we have to replace them, “said Dostálek.
Zbrojovka needs assemblies in several places, it has been solving problems with stoppers for a long time, but it must also reinforce the regions of defense or the advance. “We know that the first league will be much more challenging than the second, which means that we need to bring a quality player to the starting line-up in order to be competitive. Our players worked well for the second league, for which it clearly deserves praise. Now we have to evaluate what we can afford to go to the first league, “said the coach.
At the beginning of the duel with Tábor, Dostálek took over the award for the best coach of the season, chosen by the captains and coaches. They also chose the best player of the year, he became the Brno forward Řezníček, with the king of scorers of the second league with eighteen goals. “I was surprised, I won’t lie, would I? Everything went as it should, the season was fantastic. But a lot of guys ended up, we have to and well prepare for the first league. Maybe we can do it, “Captain Řezníček looked out.
Who will leave Zbrojovka? Zavadil, Moravec or Štepanovský ends
The only point of Saturday’s gala evening was a 1: 1 draw with Tábor. “We wanted to score seventy points, so we miss one to be satisfied. We went into the match in a difficult situation, it has not yet happened for us to play four trackers in the defensive four, but we did not want to take the risk of changing the position in the last round. There were three healthy players sitting on the bench, unfortunately the end of the competition affected us in unpleasant situations, but even so that we had to win the match, “added Dostálek.
