Hrdý kapitán Flek se dočkal: Strašný, nic mi tam nepadalo. Řešme jen hokej

Semifinále: Sparta – Brno (5. zápas)

Jak moc náročný to byl zápas po psychické stránce, když jste dvakrát prohrávali?

Celá ta série je taková džungle. Ve třech zápasech se jeden z týmů neprosadil, teď i v prvním utkání jsme se tahali o výsledek. Vyhrát na devět střel jako v prvním duelu, to jsem nezažil a už asi ani nikdy nezažiju. Teď jsme to taky urvali a získali jsme důležitý bod, ale nesmíme si myslet, že máme nějaký polštář. Nemáme.

Proti Spartě jste měl hromadu samostatných úniků, první jste proměnil až nyní. Je to úleva?

Už asi bylo na čase. Ale je to o týmu a srdíčku. Je úplně buřt, kdo dá v play off gól. Každopádně jsem rád, že mi to tam z úniku konečně padlo, protože jsem jich měl opravdu dost. Ale nechtěl jsem se srážet v hlavě nějakými krizemi. Možná tak bych to ani nenazval. Spíš šlo o období, kdy mi to tam nepadalo, jindy zase člověk skóruje ze všeho. Blbý, že zrovna v play off se stala ta první varianta. Ale to je hokej, hodil jsem to za hlavu a makal dál.

Jak vás těší, že se dokážete dostat do tolika brejků?

Mám na tom postavený svůj hokej. Vždycky to beru tak, že jsem rád, že se do těch šancí probojuju, že nejsem neviditelný. Protože kdybych se do šancí nedostával vůbec, byl by to úplný prů*er. Ale jasný, že je potřeba je proměňovat. Můžu být hero, nebo zero. Těší mě, že jsem svůj gól načasoval na nejdůležitější moment a snad to teď odšpuntuju.

Na začátku druhé části už jste si ale asi musel říkat, že prokletí neprolomíte. V tutovce vás na brankové čáře vychytal Jakub Kovář betonem.

Upřímně? Máte pravdu, měl jsem pocit, že mi tam nic nespadne. Bylo to strašný. Na druhou stranu Kovy tam dobře vystrčil beton a já to do něj pral ze dvou centimetrů, nepovedlo se mi ho přehodit.

Sparta – Brno, sparťanský Kovář skvěle vychytal FlekaVideo: Tipsport Extraliga / BPA

U gólu na 2:2 jste sice brejk neproměnil, ale z dorážky se prosadil Arttu Ilomäki, který v průběhu utkání na prvním centru zaskočil za zraněného Lukáše Cingela. Jak svou roli zvládl?

Odvedl skvělou práci, hrálo se mi s ním super. Uvidíme, jak na tom Cingy bude, snad v pátek naskočí. Ale Arttu ho zastoupil výborně. Přiznám se, že jsem jeho gól ani neviděl. Dostal jsem se mezi dva hráče, upadl jsem, doklouzal jsem do rohu a soustředil jsem se, abych se tam nezabil o mantinel. Trochu jsem si narazil kostrč, ještě teď mě bolí zadek. (usmívá se) Aspoň jsem zvládl vystřelit a pak už jen viděl, jak ke mně Arttu jede s rukama nahoře. Takže to asi dopadlo dobře.

Rozhodl gól Libora Zábranského v prodloužení z vaší první proměněné přesilovky v celém play off. Říkali jste si, že už to muselo přijít?

Jo, už jsme to asi všichni měli v hlavách. Asi i soupeř. Neodpovídá to naší kvalitě, ale vnímal jsem, že hru v početní výhodě zlepšujeme. S Vary se nám nedařilo, dostali jsme se pod deku a přenesli si to i do začátku téhle série. Měli jsme problém se založením, nedostali jsme se do pásma. Ale už v minulém zápase jsme měli dobré šance a střely. Chceme se nadále zlepšovat.

Na druhou stranu dvě využité přesilovky Sparty jsou také vaším prvním klopýtnutím v oslabení.

Je to varování. Musíme si to rozebrat a vyvarovat se faulům. Soupeř má obrovskou sílu a kvalitu v přesilovkách, což dokazoval v základní části. Taky disponují hokejisty, kteří hráli v nejlepších ligách. Je to znát.

Arttu Ilomäki z Brna (uprostřed) a Jakub Flek z Brna se radují z druhého gólu.

Cítíte, že i díky tomu kvalita extraligy a samotného play off nadále roste?

Samozřejmě. Sledoval jsem jiné série už od předkola. Věřím, že to lidi baví. Některé zápasy končí třeba 1:0, tak to není zrovna ofenzivní smršť. Ale celkově bych byl rád, kdyby se trochu víc řešil hokej, umění hráčů a co předvádíme na ledě. A ne na to, co se děje okolo. Snažím se sociální sítě nevnímat, od nich se odprošťuju, komunikuju jenom s rodinou, ale vidím, co se kde děje. Za mě je to kolikrát až trochu přehnané, ale víc se do toho nechci pouštět. Má to být víc o hokeji. Užívejme si ty skvělé hráče, které máme před očima, protože kvalita extraligy se v poslední době ohromně zvedla. Přišla jména, která vládla nejlepším evropským ligám, zahráli si v NHL.

Třeba kapitánem Komety je jakýsi mistr světa Flek…

(usměje se) Jednotlivec nikdy nic nevyhraje, což dokazujeme v play off. Upřímně řečeno. Ani před sezonou jsme nebyli favorit na to, že bychom mohli v semifinále trápit Spartu. O to víc jsem na tým hrdý, ale nechci mluvit dopředu.

Jakub Flek slaví třetí gól do sítě Sparty.

Cítíte, že se Sparta s vaším systémem trápí i více než proti mistrovskému Třinci?

Je to možné. Snažíme se tedy být aktivnější ve středním pásmu, Samozřejmě to nejde pokaždé, ale nechceme tam jenom stát a máchat kolem sebe hokejkami. Snažíme se nabrat rychlost se soupeři, ale musíme být pořád v pěti spolu. Zvlášť tady nám to na malém hřišti vyhovuje. Ač to lidem třeba opticky nepřijde, ten metr na každou stranu je strašně znát. Uděláte si tím prostor, hodíte si tam puk, což se nám dařilo i v prvním zápase doma.

Právě na vlastním ledě můžete v pátek sérii ukončit, jenže zatím jste vítězili jen v lichých zápasech. Ale předpokládám, že na tohle nekoukáte.

Vůbec si to nedáváme do hlavy. Věřím v sílu našeho týmu, věřím všem bratrům, co sedí vedle mě v kabině. Musíme to zvládnout. Na druhou stranu zrovna Sparta by mohla vyučovat, jak těžké je udělat ten poslední krok. Loni vedli s Třincem 3:0, měli největší polštář, co jde, a víme, jak to dopadlo. Všechen respekt k nim, jenom poukazuju na to, jak je ten poslední krok těžký. Nemůžeme se vedením uchlácholit. V kabině jsme si zabejkali, ale už se soustředíme na další utkání. Musíme do toho zase dát 150 procent.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are the most dominant team of the decade, and the numbers prove it

The Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees are like the rock stars of Major League Baseball (MLB), two teams with a history so big it's hard to top. Since moving from Brooklyn to LA in 1958, the Dodgers have been a force to reckon with, and now in 2025, they're gearing up for their 23rd World Series (26th pennants)-trailing only the Yankees' whopping 41 appearances, according to MLB.com. That's a pretty cool stat, showing they've been in the game for the long haul, racking up eight World Series wins, with their first coming back in 1955 as the Brooklyn Dodgers. Tonight, they're bringing that old-school vibe into a modern era, hitting their fifth World Series in the last nine years-all during the Wild Card era that kicked off in 1994, per ESPN. It's a sign they know how […]

4 Takeaways From the Dodgers’ NLCS Game 4 Win Over the Brewers

Another dominant pitching performance – and a three home run game – by the same superstar no less. That's certainly a way to earn a World Series berth. Behind a Shohei Ohtani performance for the ages, the Dodgers swept the Brewers in the National League Championship Series on Friday with a 5-1 win in Game 4 and are headed back to the World Series. Here are my takeaways:1. Oh My, Ohtani!A year ago, he became the first Major League Baseball player ever to hit 50 homers and steal 50 bases in a season. This year, he became the first player ever to hit 50 homers and record 50 strikeouts as a pitcher in a single season. With Shohei Ohtani, history is never far away. Friday night was no exception, as baseball’s unicorn illustrated what is quite possibly the most extraordinary single-game performance of […]

MLB playoffs 2025: John Schneider says Mariners fans ‘should take a look in the mirror’ after George Springer boos

A 95-mph sinker from Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo struck George Springer on his knee in the seventh inning of the Toronto Blue Jays' 6-2 defeat in Game 5 of the ALCS on Friday. Springer suffered a right-knee contusion, according to Blue Jays manager John Schneider, though Schneider noted that the four-time All-Star's X-rays were negative."George is about as tough as they come," Schneider said. "I think he'll have to really, really be hurting to not be in the lineup on Sunday. So we'll see how he is."AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementSchneider then called out Mariners fans who booed after Springer rose to his feet and tried to stay in the game.
