The people of Brno found a winner after three years of celebrating the title. “It bites bitterly, because the playoffs have grades, you are looking forward and you are preparing for the finals all the time, you want to manage it. We know that we had a line that is hard to beat, three titles in a row, unfortunately we didn’t make it this time. We led twice, we got a stupid goal twice and the penalty is lotteries. The Brňák family has not been doing well lately, “sighed Brno defender Patrik Levčík and hinted at the penalty classification of the Czech national team in the quarterfinals of the European Championship with Romania.

Nevertheless, the defending champions started well when Tomáš Pospiš sent them into the lead in the thirteenth minute. But in a minute David Pozníček leveled. In the eighteenth minute, Brno’s David Presl fired and the ball bounced from the crossbar into the Prague player David Baran and into his own net. “After our first goal, we got an unnecessary goal right from the start, that should not happen to such an experienced team. The second thing is that for the 2: 1 situation we may have run out of flashlights, we withdrew a bit and hid behind the players. We didn’t want a balloon, we played simple football upstairs and the opponent had breaks. We weren’t much on the balloon, “admitted Levčík.

In the 49th minute, the equalizer of the best player of the Superfinal, Daniel Žížala, came. “In the beginning, the Brňáci then found out that they were running out, and if we put a faster pass in the back, they wouldn’t catch when we ran out. I think the match was more balanced then and at the end we pulled by a shorter string. It was a match of nudity down and I think the spectators liked it, “said the Czech national team member Hakl.

The goal did not fall in overtime, although the Staropramen players hoped to score. “We knew we still had the strength to break it and maybe not only level it, but also score a winning goal. Holt had a penalty, which we won with luck, “Hakl breathed.

Jakub Dobšíček from Brno did not convert the first penalty kick. “Of course we wanted to start first, so we should have enough to get the opponent under pressure that he has to give. I know what it’s like not to give a penalty at such a level, it just happens, there’s nothing you can do. The player has to clear it from his head and has to go to the next match, “said Levčík.

All three executors Daniel Žížala, Stanislav Mařík and Tomáš Jelínek managed the penalty shootout for Staropramen. “I was a joker to four, if the fourth attempt came, I would be a joker to five,” Hakl smiled. “So I was waiting for the boys to go, they wanted to, so I didn’t block,” Hakl smirked.
