Ondřej Smetana, Ružomberok: “I have to congratulate the whole team for the victory and promotion. Podbrezová played with quality. Paradoxically, the match changed for us after the scored goal. After that, as it happens with us, we fell a little bit. Plus there was the injury of Mojžiš and we had to regroup at the back , to change a bit. From then on, we allowed the opponent to have a bigger field, while our whole block moved lower. When Podbrezová had more room to combine, it was more difficult for us. Then Gerec’s activity and the second goal saved us. Otherwise we would not have advanced . I am glad that we have fulfilled our short-term goal. Now we may have an even bigger challenge ahead of us. Also connected with the work of moving the team further. I am glad that it will be with high-quality opponents, under more pressure. It is a commitment for us – even better and work better and catch up with the teams in front of us.”
Roman Skuhravý, Banská Bystrica: “We wanted to finish the last match successfully with our own strength and with full respect for the opponent. The anomalies that befell us during the week were not easy at all. By Wednesday, my colleagues and I put together a lineup. There were two options, either try to eliminate the home team by force, or to try to beat them on the ground. We chose the second option. Ružomberok, after the arrival of the new coach, has a wonderful journey behind it with a clear handwriting. And that is a safe defense, while they can patiently wait for their chance. They have succeeded in this now as well. We are they tried the whole match for us to be successful, to score a goal. In any case, this is the most cheerful loss for me. I dare say that we are deservedly in the top six. I appreciate it very much and congratulate Ružomberok on a great chase. After the winter break, almost no one expected that they could make it this far.”
