„Být kapitánem je vždycky velká čest a samozřejmě i závazek. Máme tu hodně zkušených hráčů, pamětníků loňského zlata, což je výhoda. Všichni vědí, co se pro úspěch musí udělat. Věřím, že zase uděláme dobrou partu a potáhneme za jeden provaz. Jedině to nás dovede k úspěchu,“ připomíná Červenka, že v aktuálním kádru je hned 14 mistrů světa z Prahy 2024.
Na MS bude odchovanec Slavie už popáté. Céčko nosil poslední tři světové šampionáty, poprvé měl tu čest v roce 2018 právě v Dánsku, kde přišel čtvrtfinálových krach v Herningu proti USA, jejichž výhru 3:2 režíroval 3:2 hvězdný forvard Patrick Kane.
„Až teď, když mi to říkáte, jsem si na to zase vzpomněl. Ten zápas si samozřejmě pamatuju, nebyl to příjemný zážitek,“ konstatoval Červenka.

I letos na něj budou trenéři hodně spoléhat. Jeho útok s Pastrňákem a Sedlákem by měl být největší českou hrozbou. „S Pastou je vždycky radost hrát. Teď jde jen o to se pobavit o pár věcech, něco si během dvou tréninků vyzkoušet. Jak už říkal Radim Rulík: je důležité, abychom se během turnaje zlepšovali. Abychom ten nejlepší hokej hráli v těch nejdůležitějších zápasech,“ vyhlíží už Červenka páteční úvodní duel se Švýcary, který bude reprízou loňského finále MS.
„Tehdy to byl strašně těžký zápas a teď očekávám to samé. Nekoukám na to, jestli je dobré začínat turnaj proti silnému soupeři. Beru to tak, jak to je. Začínáme zostra a souboj se Švýcary může být důležitý s ohledem na to, jak nakonec ve skupině skončíme,“ uvědomuje si Červenka.
MS v hokeji 2025
88. ročník mistrovství světa v hokeji je na programu v termínu od 9. do 25. května 2025. Hostit jej bude Švédsko a Dánsko, konkrétně Stockholm a Herning.
„Věřím, že zase uděláme dobrou partu a potáhneme za jeden provaz. Jedině to nás dovede k úspěchu,“ uzavírá.

Cricket ‘less inclusive’ after ECB stance on transgender women
Hampshire's Nancy Harman believes cricket is "less inclusive" after the ECB banned transgender women from female competitions at all levels.The ECB said the policy change was "necessary" after the UK Supreme Court ruled on the status of transgender women under UK equality law on April 16, deciding that the definition of a "woman" and "sex" in the Equality Act 2010 refers to "a biological woman and biological sex" - the sex they were assigned at birth.Trans women were not permitted to take part in the top two tiers of elite women's cricket and The Hundred since the start of this year, but could still compete throughout recreational cricket and up to tier three of the women's game.However, this new ruling confirmed transgender women can no longer play women's cricket at any level with immediate effect."I'm disappointed by the [ECB's] ruling," […]
Chester May Festival headlines Thursday’s action
The Chester May Festival headlines our action on Thursday and we have some interesting racing from Brighton and Auteuil, live on Sky Sports Racing...3.05 Chester - Illinois, Absurde and Al Qareem feature in Ormonde StakesAidan O'Brien won the Ladbrokes Big-Value You Can Bet On Ormonde Stakes last year with Point Lonsdale and looks to do the same with Illinois. In nine starts he has never been out of the first three and got his head in-front on his last start in the Prix Chaudenay at ParisLongchamp. This looks a good starting spot for the St Leger runner-up with Ryan Moore taking the ride. Absurde was last seen bolting up in the Sussex Champion Hurdle and reverts to the flat for the first time since finishing fifth in the Melbourne Cup. He has previous course experience, winning the Chester Stakes, so […]
What was the real reason behind Hamilton’s Ferrari radio jibes?
Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari made headlines for the wrong reasons at the Miami Grand Prix as the seven-time world champion's infuriated radio messages attracted much attention.Running an alternative strategy that put him on a different tyre compound to his team-mate Charles Leclerc, Hamilton became frustrated when he quickly closed on the Monegasque shortly after the race's only round of pit stops and wasn't immediately let through to chase down the Mercedes of Kimi Antonelli for sixth. The seven-time world champion sent a series of transmissions expressing his dismay as the pit wall hesitated, rejected and then finally granted his request, by which point Hamilton felt too much life had been taken out of his tyres.His comments included the suggestion that the decision-making amounted to "not good teamwork", while he also referenced a situation during the Chinese Grand Prix when he […]
Time for Celtics to sound the alarm, though it’s never over in Boston-New York Border War
BOSTON — To the mob out there that believes Celtics-Knicks has generally been relegated to kitchen patrol in the century-old Boston-New York Border War, we give you Wednesday night, TD Garden, Game 2, Eastern Conference semifinals.In emerging with a 91-90 victory over the Celtics to take a two-zip lead in this series, the Knicks have muscled their way to the front lines of the Border War. This makes it two games in a row the Knicks have roared back from a 20-point deficit to smother the Celtics, which means they are two victories away from registering one of the biggest upsets in recent NBA history.AdvertisementSo much for the theory that the Celtics were merely rusty in Game 1, or that the outcome would surely awaken some sort of beast that lurks inside the defending NBA champions. Indeed, Game 2 began […]
A tired and incomplete squad almost took Arsenal to a Champions League final – now it’s time to strengthen
There are only so many times a promising squad can give everything of themselves throughout the slog of a season. The unrelenting schedule of prepare, play, recover, prepare, play, recover; the family sacrifices and time away; the psychological strain of being constantly and fiercely judged for every detail of your working output; the physical pain of injuries and rehab. Only so many times a squad can buy in, believe, and convince themselves they can lift silverware as reward for their efforts only to drop the prize and end up in tears.AdvertisementThat’s the general thinking anyway. Less than an hour after Arsenal’s road to Munich ended in Paris, in the bowels of the Parc des Princes Mikel Arteta fielded a number of loaded questions about the ramifications of another nearly attempt at landing an important trophy. The inference was that it […]
PSG deserve to be in the Champions League final – they are Europe’s most complete team
There is a danger, when it comes to Paris Saint-Germain, of going overboard on their status as plucky outsiders and untested youngsters, in this increasingly impressive post-Kylian Mbappe era.This is, after all, a club of staggering wealth who have dominated their domestic league to a downright tedious level over the past decade, who are capable of signing star players from Napoli, Milan and their final opponents Inter, amongst others. This is, more or less, the level they should be at. But it’s still difficult not to marvel at quite how complete PSG are, so soon after they were a side with some overwhelming strengths and quite pitiful weaknesses.AdvertisementWhich is not to say they are now perfect. At times they lack combination play in attack, they can be exposed in the right-back zone, and they have been indebted to goalkeeper Gianluigi […]
