He shrugged, coming back stronger. Twenty-two-year-old hiker Filip Čihák went through the Victorian youth, but last year he moved to Pardubice, where he had been a guest before. In the East Bohemian jersey, he experienced advancement to the Czech highest competition and during the next two seasons he played 46 first-league matches, in which he scored three goals from the position of middle defender and recorded four.
Now he is moving back to Victoria and on Wednesday, together with other charges of coach Michal Bílek, he will be involved in the preparation.

“In Pardubice I had the opportunity to look into the first league for the first time and it was the best experience for me. But my dream has always been to wear a Victorian jersey in a fierce match and I am very happy that I now have a chance to fight for it, “says Čihák on the club’s website after signing the three-year contract.

“Filip managed to make his mark in the first league, he is a very promising player who has gained the necessary experience and is now returning to fight for a place in the first team,” advises CEO Adolf Šádek.
“The Pilsen club applied a contractual clause on the repurchase of the player, which was his condition at the time we bought Filip to Pardubice,” explains Vít Zavřel, sports director of Pardubice. According to him, the return in the game was already in the winter. “Filip is really leaving this time. We understand his decision. He is returning to the club that raised him. In addition, where his father trains and his brother Adam joins the B-team,” he adds.
Instead of Čihák, Pardubice won the annual guest appearances from Pilsen of the same old stopper Václav Mík, who still has two league starts from last year. After a knee injury, he started in the second league behind Chrudim this spring. Before leaving for Pardubice, he extended his contract with Victoria for three years.
“Vašek Míka is one of our talented puppies, unfortunately his injury slowed him down a bit. But he managed to return to the lawn and had a very decent performance in the spring. I wish him to be able to stand out in the league team.
