The league has barely started and the referees fail again. Weird verdicts are annoying, but they also leave injured players behind. Sparta won for the first time, its attacking star Jan Kuchta was responsible for a brutal save on the Liberec goalkeeper. Dutch striker Mick Van Buren is on a rampage in the Liberec jersey. Brno legend Rostislav Václavíček has passed away. Sigfried Held, a native of Bruntál, celebrated his 80th birthday.
Black does not know red
Only the second round and a huge shame and disappointment from the performance of the referees. Dalibor Černý did not rule out Zlín defender Martin Cedidla, who slashed and seriously injured Slavist Brazilian legionnaire Ewerton. His colleague at VAR, Vít Ondráš, mistakenly kept him.
Černý has a stalled delegation until the end of September, Ondráš until the end of autumn, Ewerton will be out of action for several weeks.
In the first round, two brutal tackles by the Spartan striker Jan Kuchta on the Liberec goalkeeper (for the second he received a five-game suspension, the first was omitted by the disciplinary committee), now two injuries to the Slavs (also the representative Petr Ševčík limped off).
The league started well for us.
Sparta is catching its breath
It was without the biggest reinforcement of Jan Kuchta that Sparta Prague took over and won for the first time under the Danish coach Brian Prisk, when they won in České Budějovice. Olomouc’s Kryštof Daněk turns out to be a successful purchase.
The noise around the player does not mean that he will be able to perform well on the field.
Who will stop Van Buren. Maybe Slavia
And again, the Czech league has a goal-scoring foreigner who could be thinking about crowning the king of scorers. Dutch striker Mick Van Buren, who is on loan at Slovan Liberec from Slavia Prague, scored a hat-trick against Teplice.
If his shooting form lasts, he could think about the crown, but with the threat that Slavia will take him back after the fall and put him on the bench.
The legend of Zbrojovka Brno has passed away
At the age of 75, the legend of Brno football defender Rostislav Václavíček, captain of the 1977/1978 championship team, 1980 Olympic champion from Moscow, holder of the record for the number of matches without interruption worth 280 matches, died.
After the end of his career, he briefly devoted himself to the coaching profession, he was also in charge of Zbrojovka Brno, which has now returned to the first league elite and entered the competition with promising results. A big club heartthrob would be very happy about that.
Celebrating a forgotten native
The respectable jubilee of 80 years was celebrated by one of the best attackers of the Federal Republic of Germany, vice-champion of the world in 1966, bronze medalist from the World Cup in 1970, Sigfried ´Sigi´ Held. Later, a coach who led three national teams of Iceland, Malta and Thailand.
He is also related to the Czech state, as he was born in 1942 in Moravian Bruntál (German Freudenthal) and at the age of three he and his family were moved to Germany as part of post-war political decisions. There he started a great football career.
He also deserves congratulations from his hometown.
