Half a year was enough. Right-handed striker Tomáš Vracovský parted ways with Zlín in the middle of the season, heading back to familiar surroundings in Sokolov on loan. The clubs informed about it on their websites.
“We promised Tomáš that he would be one of the productive drivers of our team. Unfortunately, his tenure with us did not meet our expectations or his expectations,” Zlín sports manager Jan Srdínko pours clear wine.
Vracovský (28) will probably not remember the episode in Baťo’s city in a good light, in the colors of the Rams he did not confirm the reputation of a capable shooter or fighter who can support the team’s productivity with more than 30 Canadian points per year.
A business card from an engagement in Zlín? 29 matches, 4+3. With an average ice time of around 15 minutes, the coaches stuck to others in key moments, in addition, Vracovský fell to a negative value of -5 in the plus-minus statistics. In addition, he often jumped in as far as the fourth offensive command.
“We promised Tomas that he would be one of the productive drivers of our team.”
“On behalf of the entire club, I would like to thank him for the work he has done here and wish him only the best for the new career stage,” says Srdínko.
The author of 79 first league hits found a (old) new home in Baník. “When the possibility of acquiring Tomáš appeared, it was the number one option for us. We know what kind of player he is, we know what kind of relationship he has with Sokolov and we know how he did well here and how he helped the team. He is a scoring and team player,” commented the return of Sokol coach Tomáš Mariška.
“I firmly believe that even though he did not do well in the first part of the season, when he moves to a familiar environment, Tomáš will return in front of our fans to the performances he has performed for several seasons. We are definitely counting on him in the front part of the lineup, on the power play and weakening, because these are the strengths and roles in which he has always excelled here,” forwards Mariška.
“We’re definitely counting on him in the front of the lineup, on the power play as well as the fade.”
He will most likely make his renewed debut in the West Bohemians jersey on Saturday against Pardubice B. Sokolov has been on the market looking for a striker for a long time, especially considering the previous health problems of Vojtěch Tomeček, Sebastian Malát, Štěpán Csamang or Ľubomír Kupč.
