No, he didn’t shoot. Rather, he pierced the bottom completely. After the derby on Tehelné pole between Slovan and Trnava (0: 0) Martin Škrtel was missing from the field. Suddenly boom. The former national team captain received a verbal shower from a fan of the home team, which he had never encountered in his career.
“Let your whole family drip on cancer,” shouted the guy as senseless. “I am ashamed of that,” said Jaroslav Slamka, a former football player and coach behind these disgusting words. Paradoxically, his wife works in the oncology ward and encounters the most difficult cases.
How did you perceive the derby of the old rivals, which, unlike in the autumn, also played out?
“Finally, anti-epidemic measures were relaxed and a visit of almost 8,000 came to the stadium, which pleasantly surprised me. The two best teams of the competition met, there was quality on both sides. From the performances, I will highlight Vladimír Weiss Jr. on the one hand, Bukat and Martin Škrtel on the other, who cleaned it well in the Trnava defense, played excellently.
The course brought interesting situations and a pity that the spectators did not see the goals. A tie was born and the distance between the opponents remained unchanged. Of course, as a Slav fan, I would be happy to win, but I was not upset about the end result. ”
Then why the incomprehensible explosion after the match? And why did Martin Škrtel take it?
“It simply came to my notice then. It was a moment, a short, an eclipse. And that’s what I was going to do before the end of the house, that the goal won’t be scored, it will end in a draw. I sat, then stood, and from second to second I just started. If at the moment another player from Trnava passed into the bowels of the stadium, he would probably catch it. ”
But shouting at someone to make his whole family die of cancer is disgusting. Do you realize that?
“Of course. It started immediately, but it was too late. And to be honest, I’m so sorry and I’m ashamed of what I’ve done. I am not in the least surprised by Martin Škrtel’s reaction. Not even that he was properly dialed, he defended himself and cursed me. He had every right to do so. Like coach Vladimír Weiss Sr., who immediately responded to the situation and cleaned my stomach. ”

What happened to your head after the match when you came home?
“I think about it all the time. I asked myself where I had lost respect for a person, an athlete. It bothers me, I haven’t slept well since Saturday, I wake up at night and think. At the same time, I recognize Martin Škrtel for what he did, how he succeeded and how he did the best advertisement abroad for Slovak football. I have also been to Liverpool for his match in the past. And I will offend such a football player and his family in an incomprehensible way.
If you ever met Martin Škrtel in person, what would you tell him?
“First of all, I would apologize to him. But I don’t know if he would accept it. And I openly admit that if he gave me a papule during a personal meeting, I’m not surprised. ”
No club is interested in a fan who grossly insults the opponent’s players. Are you aware of that?
“Absolutely. I have some self-reflection. Slovan blocked my season ticket after the derby, which I understand. I will not come to Tehelné pole until the end of the season. I can only blame myself. I’m considering buying a season ticket for the new season and dedicating it to a handicapped fan. ”
In the first days, only a dog talked to me at home.

How does your family view all this?
“Uh, it’s hard for them. In the first days, only a dog talked to me at home. I realize that I disappointed my loved ones that it doesn’t shed a good light on me. I’m sorry and they also have my apology. ”
You ran in lower competitions as a player and later as a referee. Have you ever experienced such a disgusting insult as Martin Škrtel came out of your mouth on Saturday?
“Well, of course, they threatened to liquidate me, saying they would get me a loader after the match. But no one used the word cancer. Never in my life!”
What was behind the fact that after the derby you ended up as a coach in Kľačany, who play in the eighth league within ObFZ Trnava?
“I called the club boss and we talked openly. I made a negative advertisement not only for myself and my family, but also for the football Kľačan. I realize that, so I didn’t even go to Sunday’s preparatory duel. I helped the club as much as I could, we also redesigned the cabins together, but we are each going our own way. ”
Do you take anything from it, any lessons?
“In my case, I need to find out what happened, but especially the reason why I did so. Apparently it’s a signal of something I have to deal with. I have a family, children, my age and I can’t act like a fool who totally explodes. ”
