The eighteen-year-old offspring of Brno has been in one of the best academies in the world in Salzburg for two years now. During the season, he was one of the mainstays of the under-18 team, but before the pandemic came and all competitions were interrupted. The youth classes were even abolished. Stejskal thus had to fight for a chance in adult football. She finally came at the end of the season.
“I have been preparing for the chance for a long time. And I was all the more pleased that I hadn’t played any matches since March, because the U18 league was canceled in Austria, “Stejskal said in an interview with Sport Invest, which represents him.” I feel that both matches have succeeded and I hope that I thought about getting a chance in the new season as well, “he adds.

He made his debut with a 5-0 win on the field of the ninth team of the Juniors OÖ table. “I didn’t have a very quiet match and a lot of work, mainly I played. The second match (3: 0 against the seventh Vorwärts Steyr) tested me more. I had two difficult procedures, I tried a lot to help in the air and overall I felt more confident than during the first duel, “describes Stejskal.
Chances are a reward for training
“In adult football, everything is faster and there is also a lot more tactics, where everything is solved in detail. Youth football is so distracted, everyone runs everywhere. Every little thing is solved here. For me, the difference is mainly in the passing, because the presink for the ball is much faster and more emphatic, so sometimes some situations are more difficult to solve, “he adds.
The chance was a reward for him, as he worked on himself mainly during the pandemic, when he had to train individually. “I tried to improve and strengthen a lot. Originally, I wasn’t even on the bench, then I moved among the substitutes, and finally I went to the goal. I tried in training and it paid off, “Stejskala is looking forward to.

“As the virus broke out in March, I went home to the Czech Republic, where I fulfilled an individual plan and we dealt a lot of tactical things with the coaches in group teleconferences. I returned to Salzburg at the beginning of May, where we trained for the first two weeks only in groups of five. And at the end of May, the competition, which has been played so far, started again, “he recapitulates.
Leisure, exams and driving school
He got 10 days off with his teammates after the season before he starts preparing for a new one. “I have to take school exams and also a driving school. Subsequently, we will prepare for the fights in the Youth League, where unfortunately I will probably not play, because there the coaches will bet on a boy two years older (Daniel Antosch), who is now preparing with an A. At the beginning of September, the second Austrian league begins, “announces Stejskal.
However, he believes that he could introduce himself in the Youth League this year and thus take another significant step within the hierarchy of Salzburg goalkeepers. “I will fight and hope to get a chance in Liefering again and catch in the second league, because I am too old for eighteen. And I’ll keep my fingers crossed for him to get into the Champions League group. This could open up a chance for me to jump into the Youth League if Daniel Antosch rides the Champions League with an A, “he wishes.
