Twenty-year-old football back or Sparta midfielder Daniel Horák made his league debut in the 3rd round of the group for the title against Pilsen. However, the premiere in the highest competition was ruined by Horák, who had previously worked in the B-team, not only a 1: 2 loss, but also a hard duel with Radim Řezník at the end of the match, after which he did not remember anything.
“I don’t remember it at all. Actually, the whole match. I’m completely black in my head after that blow, I don’t remember anything,” Horák told the media, who was given the opportunity after coach Vaclav Kotal decided to save most of the support for Wednesday’s domestic cup final. with Liberec.
Adam Hložek jumped into the match from the second half instead. He really appreciated his debut. “I appreciate it a lot, it’s a huge experience. I’ve been a Spartan since I was a child, so I really appreciate it. I’m very happy about it,” Horák said.
He felt a little nervous before the duel. “I think it’s part of it. It fell out of me on the field and I’m really happy that I got this chance,” said Horák.
According to him, the difference compared to the third highest competition is considerable. “Of course, it’s a huge change. Football is faster, fights are harder. It’s different in everything,” said Horák, who had played in the youth league for Hradec Králové in the past.
He was still training with the B-team, although his coronavirus season ended in March. “I was still in training with the B-team, so one is still under some strain. So from this point of view, there was no problem,” said Horák, who scored five goals in 15 matches in the prematurely completed year of the CFL.
Sparta lost in Pilsen after a series of eight competition wins in a row. “Although a few substitutes came here, but we definitely didn’t want to underestimate anything, we wanted to manage the match in this group as well. We also took it as a preparation for Liberec,” said Horák.
