Matěj Vydra in a Burnley jersey. But he could already play in Sparta.
An interesting transfer was looming. Matěj Vydra could run on the Letna lawn in the spring. However, the attacker did not arrive from England in the end.
“The otter was close to moving to us during the winter transfer period. It didn’t work out at the last moment after Burnley injured their striker. Otherwise, Matěj would probably come to Sparta for hosting,” sports director Tomáš Rosický recapitulates on the club’s website in an interview. was created based on questions from fans.

“I would be very interested in a typological player like Matěj. And Matěj’s qualities are great. He has a year until the end of the contract, they bought it for a large sum and we will see what the development will be. But Burnley’s requirements are unattainable for us at the moment.”
What else did he answer to the fans?
Why Sparta can’t work with players like Kanga – I don’t think we can’t work with players. The basis is already when we bring players to look at the character traits much more. When we bring in a player like Kanga, who is twenty-seven years old, we know what his ailments are and that it’s hard to change him here. It’s too late and then you don’t transform the player. The difference between players in world clubs is that they have huge egos, but also team thinking. They want to identify and integrate in the club in which they play. These are huge differences that Kanga doesn’t have.
He had been chopping Latin for the last three months. Sparta explains Kang’s departure
Whether it was a mistake not to meet all the requirements Kanga had – Based on the experience we have with Kanga in two and a half years, I think it was definitely not a mistake! We must divide Guélor’s actions before and after the coronavirus pause. After the break, he did everything we imagined, and we would like a Kang like that here. He was disciplined on and off the field. He did what the coach wanted him to do. We were convinced from the beginning that we would not offer him a new contract. Based on how it worked after the coronavirus pause, my trainer and I said that we would want such a Kang here, of course. Due to experience, we could only go to the 1 + 1 model. Guélor wanted a two-year contract. We said good, but only if you continue in the mode you are in.
Or Kangových negativech – He is an excellent football player, but he has a lot of negatives, which can be seen even now. A player as good as he has played in Russia, Serbia and the Czech Republic for his entire career and is now going back to Serbia. His negatives discourage clubs. I myself thought that if he left for free, some average team from the top five leagues would reach for him. You see, it didn’t happen. During the whole time he was with us, we did not have an adequate offer for him. We had two inquiries from the Arab world and in the winter a very small supply from Trabzonspor. We took all this into account.
Spartan Guélor Kanga is happy with a shot against Mladá Boleslav.

About the breakup with Martin Frýdek – He had several offers to extend the contract and unfortunately we did not agree. But Martin never hid that he wanted to try a foreign engagement. He did a good five years for Sparta. He has clearly left a mark here and will always be welcome. It is possible that if his foreign engagement comes out and then he will return, he will return to Sparta. He is a great Spartan, and his family is Spartan. He is at the best age to try his foreign engagement.
Why the early termination of contracts with expensive players was successful only in the case of Ben Chaim – Termination of the contract with players in this form is not an easy process at all. Tal and the players who have now left had huge contracts with us. They knew very well that they would not get so high elsewhere. Therefore, the team development process is slower. We couldn’t sell the players or leave sooner. It was not playable for us. There was no interest in them, and they knew they would not have such contracts elsewhere.
Leaving without fanfare. Stramaccioni’s other two boys leave Sparta
How difficult it was to arrange another guest appearance by Dávid Hanck – It’s free with us. Of course we pay his salary. The whole transfer was very complicated from the beginning. When the coach and I discussed the team’s composition towards the new season during the coronavirus break, Hanck’s stay was a clear priority for the coach. We’ve been working on it ever since. It was also very complicated due to the corona. Fiorentina didn’t want to deal with us at all in the beginning because she didn’t know what was going to happen. David showed potential and quality in the second part of the season. It turned out well and I’m very happy that he stays here.
