Brückner je nesnášel. Červnové reprezentační zápasy jsou náročnější a divnější

„Nejnešťastnější datum,“ vykládal kdysi i slavný Petr Čech o červnových kvalifikacích. A brankářský přemýšlivec pokračoval: „Ten termín by vůbec neměl být. Někdo hrál o víkendu, jiní nehrají několik týdnů, další museli mít individuální tréninky. Lepší by bylo, kdyby se to posunulo o týden dříve a ligy se dohrály později.“

„Nelíbí se mi to, vždyť je po sezoně,“ remcal i pozdější kapitán reprezentace Vladimír Darida.

Také legendární Karel Brückner nesnášel kvalifikace po konci klubových sezon. Vadilo mu, že jeho vyvolení doráželi na sraz zmordovaní a vyčichlí. Pokud to šlo, reprezentační trenér se kvalifikacím v červnu vyhýbal jako čert kříži. A pokud se nedalo jinak, horoval alespoň za co nejsnadnějšího soupeře.

To nyní už nelze.

Od Brücknerovy éry se fotbal dost změnil. Na programu kvalifikace se nedomlouvají samotní účastníci skupin. Intenzita se zvedá, zátěž roste, rozšířily se evropské poháry. Přibyly nové soutěže jako Konferenční liga nebo Liga národů, která způsobila, že generacemi reprezentantů nenáviděný termín v červnu je rázem nejdůležitějším srazem roku.

Pokud Češi oba červnové zápasy proti Černé Hoře a Chorvatsku nezvládnou, podzimní srazy ztrácejí na významu a reprezentanti mohou v podstatě na jediné přímé postupové místo na mistrovství světa 2026 zapomenout.

„Střetneme se s lepšími týmy, moc dobře to víme,“ přemítá reprezentační křídlo Václav Černý. „I po náročné sezoně se pečlivě připravujeme. Když to zvládneme, tabulka bude vypadat moc dobře.“

Česko a Černá Hora po dvou duelech s outsidery jsou na šesti bodech. Na nule zůstávají Faerské ostrovy s Gibraltarem. Bez bodu jsou i favorizovaní Chorvaté, protože místo březnové kvalifikace kopali ještě v Lize národů. A až se zpožděním se nyní do zapojují do rozjeté skupiny.

Zvláštní, že?

Podivnost ještě umocňuje další výmysl, na který při rozpravě s novináři upozorňoval reprezentační zadák Vladimír Coufal: „Co asi tak mají říkat kluci z jiných zemí, které po kvalifikaci čeká ještě mistrovství světa klubů?“

FIFA pro liché roky vymyslela nový a kolosálně pojatý světový šampionát klubů, který natáhne sezonu ještě o další měsíc.

Třeba Chorvati mají v nominaci Modriče (Real Madrid) a obránce Stanišiče (Bayern Mnichov) s Gvardiolem (Manchester City), kteří se po pondělním utkání proti Čechům v Osijeku budou opět hlásit klubovým zaměstnavatelům.

Češi nehrají na špičkových adresách, turnaj je mine. Šampionát se může z našinců teoreticky týkat pouze Davida Juráska, který se po konci hostování v Hoffenheimu vrací do Benfiky Lisabon, která se americké akce účastní. Levonohý bek ale v červnové nominaci chybí.

Jeho krajany čeká poslední náročná fuška v sezoně. Třeba Slavia, největší zásobárna národního týmu, už s jistotou titulu ulevovala některým reprezentantům, aby jejich tělo i mysl vydržely. Například brankář Staněk ve volnu vyrazil na pár dnů k moři, rekreovali i jeho kolegové.

Vedení národního týmu už od poloviny minulého týdne pořádalo na Strahově neoficiální tréninky, aby se fotbalisté před zahájením srazu udrželi v zápřahu.

Dovolená se blíží. Ještě je ale třeba máknout. V sázce je mistrovství světa.
