At the initiative of Novák, the 201-centimeter Bunny measuring the last two months was working on a jumping service, and it paid off. “I tended to serve with a tarpaulin for a long time, but the coach convinced me that I had a technical service for jumping service. It didn’t go from day to day, the beginnings were rough, but the basis is to force your head, then diligence and hard work pay off. I already know where to stand, with what force to inflate the balloon and how far to the field. Soot exploded in me at the right time, maybe it wasn’t a one-day affair, “he said.
Also thanks to Zajíček’s great shots, the Czech team sensationally defeated the reigning European vice-champions 3: 1 on Friday night. “The joy was great, but the morning awakening had to end. Belarus, a new opponent, awaits us on Saturday and we must stay on our feet and be humble. No match here will be a mess. After all, we are a small figure in volleyball Europe, but we want to play against every opponent with similar enthusiasm as with Slovenia, “said the 28-year-old.

Zajíček also survived the exciting moments of the premiere match. “I’ve always had a problem with that, my psyche knocked me down. But I didn’t think of it now. I did everything as it should. I didn’t solve anything around, I didn’t look from right to left and I automated my movements. I only played and lived in that moment, that’s exactly what the coach wants from us, “he revealed.

He is playing at the European Championships for the third time, but he was pleasantly surprised by how quickly the representatives knocked out of the third lost shit. “We did not take into account at all that we managed to play only fourteen points in it. We threw it behind our heads and flew at our opponents again, and in some Slovenians you could see how close they are that they don’t stick to them, which played into our cards, “Zajíček thought.
The spectators also helped the volleyball players to sensation in a significant way. In the Ostravar Arena, they were chased by almost three thousand fans. “People made a beautiful atmosphere. We enjoyed it, even more could come on the weekend. I hope that our performance against the Slovenes was the best attraction for the fans. It was impossible to pull out more, “Zajíček hoped that even today, from 7 pm against the Belarusians, the volleyball players would have a raging audience on their side.
