Did you watch the additional league?
Quite a lot of good gamers are again. The competitors is of nice high quality. Nothing simple awaits me or the staff, however I am trying ahead to it. It is a new problem.

And that can be in opposition to Kladno with Jaromír Jágr within the lineup.
That can be a ravishing begin. He threatens me that the primary substitution will include the ax. I’m trying ahead to Jarous, we’re coaching collectively in Prague and who is aware of if this can be his final season, as he says.

Did you cope with different groups as properly?
I spoke to somebody, however there is no level in discussing it now that I’ve signed for Pardubice. All the things fell into place. Once I knew I used to be going to be launched from Switzerland, I had an settlement with Dynamo. I’ll leap into the preparation with the staff from the start. I’ll a brand new setting, so it is essential for me to be within the cabin as quickly as attainable.
Will the captain of the nationwide staff even be the captain of Pardubice?
(Dynamo proprietor Petr Dědek enters the reply) That’s as much as the coaches, the administration is not going to intrude in any manner.
And what quantity will you play with? The ten in Pardubice was worn by Josef Paleček and Jiří Šejba and is hung close to the ceiling of the world.
That’s nonetheless being resolved. Hopefully it will likely be obtainable, or I will be blissful to decide on one thing else. (Grandpa takes the ground) We are going to attempt to negotiate with the legends who wore the quantity ten, if they’d lend the quantity to Roman. I believe there should not be an issue with that. If we don’t agree, we are going to cope with one other quantity.
