Kdy jindy než teď? Češky chtějí psát historii, v cestě stojí sok s hvězdnými dvojčaty

SPORTIVO
Article arrow_drop_down

Statistiky mluví proti ambicím týmu kouče Lukáše Procházky. Na mistrovství světa se oba týmy střetnuly třináctkrát, všechny souboje vyhrály seveřanky. Ty už si finále mistrovství světa zahrály jedenáctkrát ze čtrnácti šampionátů, Češky ani jednou. Ale kdy jindy tuto sérii prolomit než v domácím prostředí?

Češky zatím turnajem procházejí suverénně, když neztratily ani bod. Finky v základní skupiny remizovaly se Švédskem v souboji dvou papírově nejsilnějších týmů světa 3:3.

Teď si Česko a Finsko zopakují semifinále z posledních dvou šampionátů. Předloni v Singapuru se zápas proměnil v jasnou záležitost Suomi po výhře 8:2. „Tam jsme měli jiný tým a jinou hru, věřím, že teď to bude rozdílné. S výkonem na našem maximu s nimi můžeme hrát vyrovnané semifinále,“ je přesvědčený kouč Procházka.

Podíval se na čtvrteční finské čtvrtfinále proti Dánsku, ale příliš se z něj čerpat nedá. „Budou úplně jinak nastavené. Ve čtvrtfinále hrály naplno 25 minut v sestavě, která bude hrát proti nám. Ale v ostrém zápase se Švédskem ukázaly, že budou jinak připravené než v Churu, zlehka změnily systém i sestavu,“ postřehl reprezentační trenér.

Ve švýcarském Churu jeho tým porazil Finky vysoko 7:2 a ukončil tak sérii čtrnácti porážek v řadě. „Jenže Finsko je soupeř, který může na Euro Floorball Tour prohrát všechny zápasy, ale pak přijet na turnaj připravené,“ upozorňuje finská rodačka Kati Eteläpääová, Procházkova asistentka.

Pro český tým, který hrál v Churu ve stejném složení jako na mistrovství světa, vítězství ale psychickou vzpruhou bylo. „Porazily jsme Finky po nějakých devíti letech, přišlo to ve správnou dobu. Pro sebevědomí to byl důležitý faktor,“ věří Nela Jiráková, dirigentka nejproduktivnější české formace.

Není těžké odhalit, kdo bude pro defenzívu domácího týmu největší hrozbou. Osmadvacetiletá dvojčata Veera a Oona Kauppiovy, která v Churu chyběla. dlouhodobě okupují vedoucí příčky anket o nejlepší hráčky světa. V posledních třech vzájemných zápasech na MS obstaraly 16 z 18 gólů do české sítě.

Veera se v Ostravě stala nejlepší střelkyní historie světových šampionátů se 63 trefami, Dánkám dala čtyři góly a to ji švédský kouč Andreas Harnesk v závěru šetřil.

Jak na ně? „Přijde mi, že v mé kariéře už jsme zkusily úplně všechno, co jde, ale nikdy to moc nefungovalo. Tak snad v sobotu,“ pousmála se Jiráková, která se s finskými dvojčaty potkává v elitní švédské lize.

„Obě mají zase skvělou sezonu. Ale myslím, že už to není jen o tom, že my se musíme připravit na soupeře, ale že i oni musí na nás. Není to tak, že jdeme do semifinále s tím, že to zkusíme a uvidíme,“ hlásí obránkyně Jiráková.

Kauppiovy by v zápase mohly poměřit síly se svojí klubovou spoluhráčkou, brankářkou Janou Christianovou, pokud mezi tyčemi dostane důvěru.

Ranking the 25 best players in the College Football Playoff: Ohio State, Miami standouts lead the way

The College Football Playoff has arrived, and with it a smaller stage where a handful of elite players can decide games. This list is pulled directly from our full Top 150 player rankings -- which will be published later this week -- and narrows that broader evaluation to the best players still competing for a national championship.That approach produces some telling results. Group of Five representatives Tulane and James Madison do not place a single player in the Top 150 or on this list. Oklahoma, despite hosting a playoff game Friday night, has just two players in the Top 150 and none among the top 25. Ohio State accounts for seven of the 25 players ranked here, while seven more will be on the field when Miami plays Texas A&M on Saturday afternoon, a matchup guaranteed to eliminate one of the […]

NFL Week 16 picks and score predictions: Rams top Seahawks in Thursday thriller, Packers get sweep of Bears

Happy Holidays to everyone, except for the commissioner of my fantasy league, who knocked me out of our playoffs over the weekend. Did I mention that I hate fantasy football? Last week, I think I said that I love fantasy football, but I've changed my mind after losing in the playoffs by 1.42 points. I only lost because Brandon Aubrey missed two field goals. If he makes just one of of those kicks, I win. And this is the part where I remind you that Aubrey has NEVER MISSED TWO FIELD GOALS IN ANY HOME GAME IN HIS ENTIRE CAREER, but the minute I need him to perform for my team, he falls apart. It's fitting that a Cowboys player let me down, because now I know how their fans have felt for the past 30 years. Cowboys players and the […]

Fastest NFL game of the century: Eagles win over Raiders was the shortest game the league has seen in decades

With temperatures hovering around 30 degrees at kickoff on Sunday, it was a cold day in Philadelphia, but the good news for Eagles fans is that they didn't have to sit around in the cold weather for very long because they got to watch their team pull out a dominant win in what turned out to be one of the fastest games in NFL history.The Eagles destroyed the Raiders, 31-0, in a game that took just two hours and 31 minutes, which made it the shortest game of the century. Since 2000, there have only been two other games that even clocked in at under two hours and 35 minutes. The last one came in 2008 when the Titans beat the Colts in a game that lasted just two hours and 33 minutes. In 2007, the Buccaneers took down the […]

NFL Panic Meter: Packers’ championship dreams might be done after Micah Parsons’ injury

After last season ended well short of a Super Bowl, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst spoke of the franchise operating with more urgency."I think it's time that we start competing for championships, right?" Gutekunst said, via NFL.com.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThat's why the Packers traded for Micah Parsons. It was a push to going from good to great. And Parsons transformed the Packers defense with his 12.5 sacks.And now, with Parsons done for the season with a torn ACL, the worry has to be that the Packers go from a potentially great season and revert to being good.The Packers aren't going to go away without Parsons. There's still a lot of talent. But Super Bowl dreams are much less realistic without their best player, and one of the best players in the entire NFL. Even beating the Chicago Bears for the NFC […]

Colston Loveland has become an important weapon in Chicago: He earned an outstanding 89.7 PFF receiving grade in the Bears’ lopsided victory over the Browns.
