The Letna team won the league in Eden for the first time since 2014 after nine matches. The Slavists knew from Wednesday that they would not defend the title. Hovork’s team finished the league in second place with a seven-point gap to the championship Pilsen.

You won the basic part, but you only won once in the superstructure. Why didn’t you succeed so much?
–
Very difficult to evaluate like this. We had a speech in the cabin right after the derby, we will still look for reasons. We did not manage to enter with Hradec, then the match with Pilsen, which determined the character of the next rounds. Then it was more of a blanket, and now it’s underlined.
–
So how do you rate the whole season?
–
Taking it from my point of view, I’m happy to be able to come back and be healthy. I’m glad I can be with the boys on the field and take part in big matches. As a club, we wanted trophies and we don’t have one, so we have to say that we didn’t manage the season. I don’t want to insult everything, Europe was successful, then the season went to such an end …

Derby was a reflection of the superstructure matches at the end, wasn’t it?
–
I don’t want to blur everything after one match and evaluate the whole season according to him. Each match is specific, especially a derby. We’re sorry we didn’t make it, also because of the fans we wanted to win for. That didn’t work.
–
What did you miss from the last seasons?
–
Being probably hungrier at the most important moments. Unfortunately, this was confirmed in the superstructure. I think we managed the basic part, even though there were already some signs that caught up with us in the superstructure. It wasn’t a question of one match, we went down the road.
–
You didn’t finish the match, did you have a more serious health problem?
–
Fortunately, no. There was a change in movement and I had an overloaded back thigh muscle, nothing more.
