Bohemians Prague 1905

Dostal was injured in the second half of the duel against the South African team TS Galaxy (4:3). A hospital examination confirmed the suspicion of a facial fracture. “Unfortunately, Dosty has a broken cheekbone and will fly back to the Czech Republic today. He will have an operation at home and a long break from football,” the club stated. “Injuries are part of football, so we won’t make a tragedy out of it and we’ll definitely see each other soon,” said Dostál in a video message, whose face is “adorned” by a swelling and a bruise under his right eye. He should undergo surgery on Monday.

The 34-year-old Dostál missed only one of the 19 games of the currently ninth-placed team in the Czech league table in the fall, and also had a minimum of absences in the previous two seasons, making over 30 starts in each. He is only six games away from reaching the 300 mark in the top competition. The former Slavia and Ostrava player has been playing for Bohemians since 2016, scoring nine goals in the league.

Striker David Puskáč and midfielder Jan Matoušek were also injured in Saturday’s duel. According to the statement of Bohemians assistant coach Ivan Hašek, the first of them has problems with his abdominal muscle, the second suffered a “sprain” above the knee.

“Havlík’s goal at 3:2 was decisive for the development of the match. He shook us and after him Slovácko was already controlling the game,” lamented the slightly disappointed Prague coach Jaroslav Veselý. “It finished the match in an exhibition spirit. In the end, it was practically just a matter of not losing by an even bigger margin,” he was annoyed.

At the same time, his team took advantage of the joint fouls of Hradišť veterans Petržela and Kadlec just before the break and tied the score at 2:2. “It was a classic locker room goal. At that point we thought we had the upper hand after a crazy first half. The goal in the setup should have encouraged us. We believed he would help us. Unfortunately, it was the other way around,” said Veselého.

He was not comforted by the fact that Bohemka was not the first team that recently paid for the great shooting productivity of Slovácko’s significant support. “Havlík is a distinctive individual. He is currently in excellent athletic shape. He benefits a lot from the way of the game of the shapely striker Cicilia, who thanks to his tall stature, heads a lot of balls. If we are to eliminate Havlík, we cannot leave him so much space on the field. Or even stand apart in front of him,” he read to his charges.

Veselý was convinced that the vast majority of scoring situations were solvable from the point of view of his footballers. “We could have prevented at least four of the five goals we conceded. It wasn’t that difficult to avoid them. But we performed a performance that was far from our capabilities. Especially defensively. If we wanted to score points in Slovakia, we would have to present ourselves with a highly above-average game. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. I’m really upset about this. Mainly for our defense activities,” he relieved himself.

He tried to find at least some positive in a very unsuccessful duel. “We scored two goals after a long time. Of course, that is only a small consolation,” Veselý knew. The Kangaroos will have an opportunity to make amends in Wednesday’s home play-off against the wild Liberec.

“Is it for congratulations or condolences? Probably both,” Jindřišek smiled into the television camera. He had a big night: his Bohemians won 1:0 in Jablonec and he himself definitely became the king of the league’s veterans. The unusual guy once again fulfilled the cliché that age is just a number. On Sunday, he ran onto the league square at 42 years, 8 months and 8 days.

To clarify: we are talking about the Czech and Czechoslovakian leagues. We don’t have exact statistics until 1925, when the Association League began to be played, but… “Forty years and more used to be a rarity that would be generally known,” football historian and statistician Roman Jašek wrote on the X social network.

If you had tried to predict Jindřišk’s record 20 years ago, you would have been surprised. The honest man from the Jizera Mountains always had to work hard for everything, and he only got his first minutes in the league at the age of twenty-two. A few years before, he almost gave up on football and wanted to give priority to plumbing, as a boy from a modest background, he was used to living on a few thousand a month. By the way, he still does his craft in his spare time, which makes him stand out among football professionals.

“My wife scolds me a bit for my little ones, but what’s at home is what counts,” Jindřišek was amused. “I also have a coach’s B, so I’ll see if I will follow this path after my career. I believe that the Goddess will offer it to me. When that moment comes, I will decide.’

The energetic defensive midfielder, who can comfortably catch up with opponents a generation younger, has nowhere to rush. Bohemians fans adore the sprightly 40-year-old as one of the club’s legends, and the coaches also need him, currently as a joker. “In September, he had a very strong course of the virus, he was completely out of action for 14 days and took antibiotics. Then he played just over 60 minutes in the cup and had enough. Over time, however, he will get back in shape,” assured coach Jaroslav Veselý. “It’s unbelievable what a career he’s had. With Pepa, I have already experienced a record several times, and in this case, it is a reward for him that it happened in Jablonec, that is, almost at home. Plus with a win, it’s all the stronger.”

By the way, Jindřišek played league match number 436 in Jablonec and equaled the famous Spartan gunner Horst Siegel in seventh place in the historical ranking. He can still move into the elite five during the fall through goalkeeper icons Jaromír Blažek (439) and Martin Vaniak (440). The Slovak midfielder Milan Petržela (493), who turned forty in June, holds the record and continues to push it every weekend.

Will it be the holder of Petržel who eventually takes away from Jindřišek the honorary position of the league’s oldest player? There are three more 40-year-olds on the current roster: midfielders Tomáš Hübschman (Jablonec) and Marko Matějovský (Boleslav) and Teplice goalkeeper Tomáš Grigar. Now they are ruled by a natural phenomenon from Ďolíček.
