The grief also affected the Brno clubs Líšeň and Zbrojovka, in which he joined. “I had a nice half-year with him in Líšeň, then we both headed to Zbrojovka. We traveled together every way from Olomouc, where he lived with his girlfriend and children. They experienced, they said a lot of things to each other, “Jan Hladík described our Brno.

In Zbrojovka they tasted the first league together last year, Šustr jumped ten matches. On Wednesday, Hladík learned of his death. “I do not know what to say. It’s terrible news, it surprised me, I didn’t even want to believe it. I will remember him as a great boy and goalkeeper, “he said.

Although the goalkeepers are pensive, Šustr did not sit sideways in the cabin. “Of course, it is said that the goalkeepers have their world, which was basically true for him as well. However, as far as the boys’ party was concerned, he had fun with everyone and he was always funny, everyone liked him, “described the striker of Zbrojovka Brno.

A year ago, Šustr headed to the second-league Vyškov and in the winter to the divisional Kozlovice, where he commuted from his native Boskovice. “We were no longer in such contact, but we watched on Instagram, for example. He built a house, took care of three children, had enough and little time. I think that’s why he went to Kozlovice so that he wouldn’t have to train so much and could be more at home, “said Hladík.

In Boskovice, he had met Ondřej Paděra, another native of Prague. “We knew each other very well, we grew up together. He was two years below me, but we met at school matches or at various tournaments. I’ve been thinking about it since I heard the news. It is a huge shock and a great loss, “Paděra regretted.

He is the playing coach of the Blansko selection in the SuperLeague of small football and Šustr was to play for him in the quarterfinals of the playoffs against Most next Monday. “I was clearly counting on him. We have agreed in advance that he will help us. Unfortunately, it turned out like this, “he sighed.

They often meet as rivals, either in the Moravian-Silesian Football League or in divisions. “He always made a very calm impression on me, which he transferred to his team. When he had it in his back, whether it was a tournament or a championship match, it radiated peace, which passed to other players, “said Paděra, who replaces Boskovice in the regional championship.
