The first zero against Baník is sweet, but progress through Pilsen is more, Lapeš admitted – Sport.cz

“Considering that Hlučín played then and still plays in the third league, progressing through the Pilsen league is a more valuable catch than a clean sheet against Baník. Although I am very happy with the nerve. I was already close to her in Teplice, but she is sweeter than Baník,” laughed the 25-year-old Ostrava football student.

In Baník, Lapeš never made it to the league team. He went on loan until Karviná saw him in Hlučín before last season. But he didn’t quite shine there at all. He caught the opening two games of the season against Zlín (4:1) and in Olomouc (1:3), where he was responsible for the third goal in Karviná’s goal with an unsuccessful kick-off and he was replaced by Jiří Ciupa. the next game.

Then Dominik Holec moved to Karviná and Lapeš became the number three goalkeeper. It was more surprising that the coach Martin Hyský replaced Milan Knobloch with summer reinforcements at the beginning of this season, after the debate in Pilsen (0:5).

“After Dominik (Holca) left for Baník, it was clear that the club would be looking for an experienced goalkeeper. After all, with Cipís (Jiří Ciupa), we don’t have so many catches in the league. But I’m trying to be ready. I’ve been waiting for that opportunity for over a year, and now that it came, I knew I had to grab it by the scruff of the neck. It’s working out so far,” Lapeš rejoiced.

It started with a home loss against Bohemians (1:2), during the weekend victory in Teplice he only conceded at the end of the game (3:1) and now in front of a sold out stadium out in Karviná he assisted in a goalless draw with Banik.

In the extra time, Ostrava played weak for a long time, because in the 38th minute they lost the suspended striker Erik Prekop. That is why the goalkeeper Karviné did not have as much work as he expected. “The miner shut down and tried to threaten from the breaks. The most difficult moment was when Tanko ran at me alone, luckily he hit my leg. And then at the end, when Jarda Svozil was sent off and Ewerton kicked a penalty,” said Lapeš.

Ewerton missed Karvina’s stoppage time goal and coach Martin Hyský’s side could celebrate their first home win of the season. “I’m very happy with it. He did a good job again and helped us,” Hyský praised the unexpected number one goalkeeper.
