Moderator Honzo Homolka asked the guests whether Sparta should have done something different in the final. Martin Kézr, editor-in-chief of the sports editorial staff of Práva and Sport.cz, sees the answer as very difficult. “It was the little things that mattered. If the series had been played a month earlier or later, maybe it would have turned out differently,” the seasoned journalist shakes his head, saying that it is difficult to find a move that, for example, deprived Prague of the title.
He will probably remember one of the last duels on ice in Třinec, when Sparta had chances and looked to be closer to victory. But in the end, he didn’t win the duel in favor of him. Again, Kézr is not convinced that this was the defining moment of the final series. “I don’t think Sparta missed a significant step towards success, it was more a step,” he thinks. Nothing can change the pain of the Spartans. “History knows only winners,” he adds.
According to the expert it is understandable that with the passage of time the pain for the final lost in the heart of the Spartans is different. “The immediate pain after the final is sharp, stabbing, now over time the pain is dull, but stronger,” Kézr believes. And moderator Homolka jokes that it’s the same after breaking up with my partner. “I don’t know, I’ve had one all my life, a woman,” replies Jandač. “Everyone was sorry. But I think this is not a topic today in the Sparta booth, what would someone else do in April,” the journalist adds.

The former national team coach confirms his words. He thought a lot about the final even after it was over, analyzing many things from a distance. “But many things wouldn’t have been done otherwise,” he convinces, adding that factors that he couldn’t influence must also be perceived, citing for example Tomášek’s injury, absent from power games, or the virus. , which caused many players to lose up to five kilos, maybe Sparta lacked some strength against the Steelers: “Maybe that’s why we weren’t able to overturn the final, but obviously you have to recognize the strength of the opponent “, he adds. sportingly.
At the same time, Jandač thinks Sparta can turn their experience into success this season. The experienced coach admits it, even though he didn’t agree on a signing with the Prague club. “Sparta will have an advantage. They are beaten in the playoffs. ‘Sparta have gone through something in the last two years and there is an upward trend,’ suggests the coach, hinting that in 2023 the capital’s team could expect to win medals from the ‘gold. And adds another reason. goalkeeper factor, for a long time this place has been very well secured for years,” he believes.
When the coach mentioned a problem in the form of a virus, Příklep Homolka’s moderator reminded him that the people of Prague had such problems in the past. “Do you think it attracts those problems?” smiles Jandač. “I used to dig through nonsense and nonsense, but now I try not to fix things you just can’t influence. It’s a fact and I believe in life balance.”
