5/1/2023 Daniel Ryl
Entering the new year, our team came out on top against Český Budějovice, but already on Friday, January 6, from 6:30 p.m., another challenging duel awaits us. Liberec will visit the home O2 arena, against whom we will also play with a new reinforcement, striker Pavle Kousal. Tickets for the match are selling out fast, so get your best seats early.
Will the young man go down in history?
Fans will especially look for number 61 in the lineup, which will be worn by the striker Pavel Kousalbut in the next matches he will already switch to his 23. “I only found out that I was going to Sparta on Wednesday evening, so I was a little late. I didn’t expect it to be so quick at all. I’m really looking forward to coming here.” she admitted in the first interview dispatch from Mladá Boleslav.
Already on Friday night, the Spartan striker will strive for a historical record Peter Hauser, who will fight with the Czech youngsters in the WC final against Canada. If he brings home the gold, he will become only the fourth Spartan to do so! In 2000, the trio rejoiced Tomáš Duba, Michael Sivek AND Martin Holywhile they also defended the first two titles a year later under the leadership of the then Spartan coach Pavel Hynka.
Bulls experts climb the charts
The end of the year went very well for the North Bohemians, as they won five matches out of nine in December and made them forget about the troubles of October. In the first game of the year, they thrashed Olomouc unequivocally 6:1, moving to seventh place in the table. “We skated well from the start, were strong on the puck and controlled the flow of the game,” he praised himself for the club website striker Jakub Rychlovský.
The position in the table also copies the team statistics. The White Tigers have a decent success rate of power-ups, their weakness is in the middle and at the same time they are among the most decent teams in the extra league. However, Pavel Augusta’s team dominates on throw-ins, which with a success rate of 56.91% are the best in the entire extra league.
Close battles, a good ending and six points!
Matches against Liberec are often balanced, which was confirmed this year as well. We turned the duel in Prague in our favor with two goals from David Němeček and Michal Řepík, but for the victory 3:1 David Tomášek’s goal in the 58th minute of the game decided the game. The battle under Ještěd was even poorer in terms of goals, as it was a three-point win 1:0 a single shot by David Dvořáček was enough.
On match day…
On January 6 we don’t remember well. It was on this day eight years ago that a member of the Club of Legends and a former national team defender and coach left us forever Karel Gutwho would have celebrated his 94th birthday this September.
Did you know that…
Even the third match will be in the spirit of a small duel between Roman Horák AND Tomas Filippi. In the extra league, you will find only 21 players who have at least four hundred face-offs behind them, and these two experienced fighters are the best in the entire competition! Our striker has a success rate of 60.46%, while the opponent leads the table with a success rate of 63.73%.
