“We all know at home about that famous photo of my grandfather and brother Jirka after the victory over the Soviets and winning gold at the World Championships in Prague. It would be nice to build on something similar together after 49 years. We both want to fight for the nomination for the championship here, so that the whole family can be proud of us, “says David Musil, who was at the World Championships two years ago in Bratislava.

The sibling does not have much experience, he played only eight matches for the national team. “I will do my best, otherwise I can hardly influence if the coach will keep me on the team,” admits Adam Musil, who, unlike his brother, has already scored a goal for the national team. he asks, I’m always here for him and we’ll help each other. But I also know that I can count on him at any time and in anything, “David appreciates sibling solidarity.

They can celebrate with the Musils. Even before the finals, it was clear that we had the cup, František’s father was happy

“My brother and I are sitting next to each other in the cabin of the national team, which is great. I’m just sorry that Grandpa didn’t live to see that, “laments Adam, who reminds Holík a lot with his offensive speech on the ice.” I’m also sorry that he’s not here. “Whether on the way of life or with hockey, he helped. We will finally join the same team together, he would like to see that,” admits David.

In this year’s final of the extra league, both of Holík’s grandchildren stood against each other, and it was David who, after two years, once again experienced masterpieces with the Steelworkers. “The only thing that was different was that there were no fans in the auditorium and for me that Adam was on the other side behind the White Tigers,” he says. with good movement, it reaches everywhere and it’s really hard to go through it, “says Adam. “Well, your opponent will usually feel your game quite harshly, you go to the goal like a tank. It’s better to have you by your side than against you, “the older sibling said.

It was difficult for everyone in the family to watch the final duel. “As our father rightly said, this time only one Musil could win and for the other it was probably a bit sorry for the parents, but even so the whole final series must have been a great experience for them,” says the older of the offspring, who has hockey genes after Father František. The gold medalist at the 1985 World Cup then married Holík’s daughter Andrea, a former Wimbledon junior winner. “By playing, we try to repay our parents how much time and money they have invested in us. Dad has always been hard on us, now he can be proud now. , “the younger of Musil ‘s sons muses.

When the siblings finally met at home after the playoffs over the weekend, David certainly didn’t mess up that he was the champion. “We didn’t deal with hockey much,” says the Třinec defender. “My brother turned out to be a character. It’s still quite bitter for me, but he didn’t pour salt into sore wounds, he was modest,” says Adam. “Well, if he did pull himself out, he would get a banana. No, I’m just kidding, we don’t fight, and if I did, I don’t know if I would be the winner, “he smiles.
