Hradec Králové advanced to the highest competition after four years spent in the second league. The beginning of the season did not look very good, but then the Votrocs started to prosper, thanks to which they are on the beautiful seventh place after the autumn. In an interview with Ruik, a successful autumn commented on Captain Adam Vlkanova, who was one of the league’s most productive players.
Hradec finally succeeded and returned to the Fortuna League, which he last played in the 2016/17 season. The return is so far successful, after nineteen laps the Votroci have 25 points and hold on to seventh place, a point from the group for the title.
“To tell you the truth, I expected us to be in tenth place, and we are doing well so far,” says Vlkanova in an interview with Ruik. What are the club’s goals for the rest of the season?
“Our goal is clear, to stay in the worst 10th place, but of course we would like to go back to the 6th place, where we stayed for a long time,” added.
Vlkanova is one of the most productive players in the entire league. He has already scored five goals, to which he added five assists. This number was his seasonal goal, which he has already fulfilled after the autumn.
“I’ve even exceeded my expectations, so why not do so much again?” The popular “Vlčák” played the league with Hradec already in the 2015/15 season, when he managed to play only one match, but in the 2016/17 season he played relatively stably.
“I wouldn’t count the first season much, the second season wasn’t bad at all, but then there were a lot of injuries in the team and in the end we lost the score, which was definitely sorry, but I still enjoyed it and of course this season is both team and personally, the best. Hopefully it will stay that way and we will all continue to enjoy it, “ he said.
Vlkanova has been interested in league teams that have been trying to catch him for a long time. But it never happened, so is there a chance that the transfer will ever happen?
“If there’s something really interesting, I’d like to try it, but I’m not going anywhere at any cost,” explains. If he stays in Hradec, he will be able to play at the new stadium, which should be completed no later than the turn of the spring and summer of 2023.
“It’s one of the biggest motivations for me. It would be nice to open a new stadium in Hradec and bring the team there as a captain. I hope and believe that if there is a new stadium, there will be a much bigger backdrop and that thanks to that Hradec will be able to play even better and attack a higher position in the table than it is now, “ the 27-year-old winger finished.
