“Sparta Prague’s Key Striker Jan Kuchta Signs Multi-Year Contract, Team Gains Five-Point Lead”

With three laps to go, they gained an exclusive five-point lead. To add to the crunch in the cabin, the engagement of a key striker was added on a permanent basis. When Tomáš Rosický announced the news to the team, a half-dressed Jan Kuchta jumped on the table and the roar in the dressing room erupted again.

“The guys in the cabin had no idea that I was negotiating with Sparta and that there was any chance that we would come to an agreement. It was a nice surprise for them and I could feel that they were happy that I would be here for a while and that I would help them,” says the national team striker, who signed a multi-year contract at Letná.

For Priske, the team is irreplaceable, that’s why Sparta had to pat themselves on the back. It is assumed that Kucht’s hosting cost her around 25 million crowns. Now the total amount could be on the border of the investment that Lokomotiv spent when buying Kuchta from Slavia, i.e. approximately 100 million crowns.

“It was not easy. Considering the situation in Russia, any further transfer would be very difficult. But most importantly, we have started something in Sparta now. I believe that we can all do what is within our reach,” he points to the dream title after nine long years.

“It was the driving engine. The preliminaries of European competitions also played a role,” Kuchta also refers to cup Europe.

However, not all the news is good. A very sad one hit Sparta on Wednesday morning. Its longtime archivist and great Spartan Václav Boreček died at the age of 83.

He has been taking care of Sparta’s archives since 1989, but unofficially he started much earlier. Four years ago, he received the Václav Jíra Award at the Břevnov Monastery. It is awarded to personalities who have contributed significantly to the development of Czech football. And he appreciated the award very much.

“Of course it’s a great honor. Looking back, I’ve probably never been so publicly recognized or praised for my work. A really great honor,” the club website quotes Václav Boreček as saying.
