Of course, it was a better feeling when Moravek had stars as teammates. In the cabin, for example, he met Manuel Neuer at Schalke 04. “I met him thirteen years ago, immediately after transferring to Germany. He wasn’t a Superstar yet, but everyone saw potential in him. It was expected that he would be among the best goalkeepers in the world, and he did it,” states Morávek.
The number one goalkeeper of the German national team is said to have helped him a lot in the beginning. For example, when Moravek spoke only English at the beginning of the German engagement. “It wasn’t a problem for him. We had quite a lot of fun. He said that he has a lot of acquaintances and that he can help me with anything,” recalls the Czech footballer about his beginnings in the Bundesliga.

Last season, Morávek was in a team with three other footballers who are in the squads of World Cup participants in Qatar (Carlos Cruezo from Ecuador, Ruben Vargas from Switzerland and Robert Gumny from Poland). “It will probably be difficult for Robert to get minutes, but the first two will play. For example, Ruben had a great chance in the match against Switzerland,” the Czech footballer shows an overview of his former teammates.
