Mám trošku problém… Rulíka zmátla IIHF, pak smekal před absolutním profesionálem Červenkou

Herning (od našeho zpravodaje) – „Sílu mužstva ale teprve zjistíme. Přijdou zápasy, které nás prověří,“ ví Rulík před dvojbojem s Němci a Američany, po kterém už přijde čtvrteční čtvrtfinále.

Byl Kazachstán těžším soupeřem než Maďarsko?

Výsledek tomu neodpovídá, ale bylo to tak. První třetina byla trochu kostrbatá a bylo nám jasné, že musíme zlepšit hru. Postupně se nám to podařilo, byli jsme i produktivní a snad mimo jednoho úniku jsme soupeři žádné vyložené šance nenabídli. Zápas jsme měli s přibývajícím časem víc a víc pod kontrolou.

Kapitán Roman Červenka z Česka (druhý zprava) přijímá gratulaci ke gólu od trenéra Radima Rulíka.

Čemu přičítáte opakované pozvolné vstupy do zápasů?

Mám pro to vysvětlení, ale nevím, jestli to nebude znít jako alibi. Před šampionátem jsme nebyli na tomhle velkém rozměru hřiště, na tréninku v Herningu na něm taky nejsme. A potom hrajeme na širokém kluzišti. Myslím, že hráči si musejí trošku zvyknout.

Co říkáte na kapitána Červenku a jeho hattrick ve stém zápase na MS?

Mám trošku problém v tom, že IIHF uvádí 102. zápas. A pak někdo říká, že teď hrál stý. Tak já nevím… Beru statistiku IIHF jako danou.

Stovku dovršil opravdu až proti Maďarsku…

Gratuluju Romanovi k výkonu, svou produktivitou týmu pomohl. Odehrál velmi dobrý zápas.

Červenka říká, že s přibývajícím věkem se zklidnil a zápasy si užívá. Vidíte to taky tak?

To je asi spíš otázka pro hráče, ne pro trenéra. Hráč má nějaké pocity, cítí to.

Roman Červenka (vpravo) slaví se spoluhráči završení hattricku proti Kazachstánu.

Zajímá mě názor trenéra, který hráče vede.

Já je vedu, ale v jejich hlavách nejsem. Každopádně si myslím, že moment zklidnění napomůže výkonu. V letech, co Roman má a s jeho přístupem, neskutečně ukazuje mladším hráčům, jaká cesta ke zlepšení. Absolutní oddanost hokeji a profesionalismus. Pracovitost. Každý den věnuje přípravě. S klidem v duši a psychickým klidem se mu to vrací v tom, že si víc a víc věří a pomáhá mu to k výkonům.

Své první dva góly na šampionátu vstřelil Adam Klapka. Taky jej budete chválit?

Bavíme se o hráčích, kteří dali góly. Já bych se bavil o týmu. Je to práce celého mužstva, celé pětky. Je pravda, že první gól Adamovi vyšel. Prošel hřiště, odrazilo se to k němu. Byl důrazný. Pro jeho psychiku skvělý. Ale celkově bych nerad mluvil o střelcích, je to součinnost všech hráčů. Zmínil bych i hráče, kteří dali Kubovi Flekovi přihrávku přes celé hřiště a on jel sám na bránu (do úniku jej vyslali Klapka s Gazdou – pozn. aut.). To je pro mě víc než gól.

V posledních dnech se řešila formace Nečas, M. Špaček, Zadina. Jak jste viděl její výkon proti Kazachstánu?

Řešili to i trenéři?

Řešili to hráči. Sám Zadina říkal, že s parťáky z útoku o své hře mluví.

Tak se ho na to zeptejte, jak to vyřešili. My jsme to jako trenéři neřešili.

Těšíte se, že po dvou zápasech s outsidery teď přijdou na řadu těžší souboje s Němci a Američany?

Nemůžu říct, že bych se těšil, ale určitě nás trenéry to vyhecuje, abychom co nejlépe připravili tým a vyburcovali. Před čtvrtfinále jsou to těžší soupeři, což je za mě dobře. Skvěle to vyšlo, akorát je škoda, že jsou to dva zápasy ve dvou dnech. Nedá se ale nic dělat. Je daleko lepší hrát před čtvrtfinále s Německem a Amerikou, než s Maďarskem a Kazachstánem.

Sestřih utkání USA – NěmeckoVideo: Česká televize

Loni v Praze jste si pochvaloval, že tým rostl zápas od zápasu. Je tomu tak i teď?

To všechno ukáže další vývoj v turnaji. Určitě to není tak, že tendence je sestupná, ale jestli bude vzestupná, se teprve ukáže. Zápasy, které nás prověří, teprve přijdou.

Sledujete už s ohledem na čtvrtfinále skupinu ve Stockholmu?

Narovinu říkám, že ne. Máme ještě dva opravdu těžké zápasy, potom se budeme soustředit na soupeře, který na nás ve čtvrtfinále vyjde. Díváme se jenom na sebe.

Dodgers’ Clayton Kershaw allows five runs in 2025 debut vs. Angels following knee and toe surgeries

USATSI For a change, the Los Angeles Dodgers welcomed a starter back from the injured list Saturday. Left-hander Clayton Kershaw made his season debut against the Los Angeles Angels at Dodger Stadium (GameTracker) after having knee and toe surgeries last fall. This is Kershaw's 18th season with the Dodgers, tying Bill Russell's and Zack Wheat's franchise record. "I've been super grateful for the Dodgers to keep giving me these opportunities to come out and pitch," Kershaw said Friday (via MLB.com). "That's just what I want to do. I want to go out there and pitch. I think the longevity part is just about honoring your commitment more than anything." Kershaw announced his return in style Saturday by striking out the first batter he faced, Zach Neto, on a foul-tip slider: Things went downhill from there. The Angels tagged Kershaw for […]

Twins extend winning streak to 13 games, their longest since 1991 season
