„Markuse sledujeme minimálně dvě sezony. V rámci možností na trhu jsme si ho vybrali pro jeho charakter, tvrdost v soubojích, odolnost a týmový přístup. Věříme, že právě v těchto směrech dodá našemu týmu potřebnou energii a posune ho dál,“ říká sportovní manažer Vervy Tomáš Vrábel.

„Přivádíme hráče, který má za sebou téměř sto zápasů v NHL a zkušenosti i ze silných evropských soutěží. Markus je komplexní útočník, který má jasně definovaný styl a zároveň přináší do týmu profesionální přístup a pracovní morálku,“ doplnil generální ředitel Pavel Hynek.

Hännikäinen během své kariéry působil čtyři sezony v NHL v Columbusu, vyzkoušel si i nejvyšší soutěže ve Finsku, Švédsku a Německu. Za Jokerit Helsinky si zahrál v KHL. V roce 2017 reprezentoval Finsko na mistrovství světa. V uplynulé sezoně odehrál za Mannheim 47 zápasů v základní části a připsal si 12 gólů a stejný počet asistencí.

„Jsem obousměrný útočník, kterého si na ledě všimnete především díky tvrdé práci. V každém střídání chci být vidět nejen pro své osobní statistiky, ale pro svůj přístup k týmu. Nejsem ‚nejblyštivější‘ hráč, ale snažím se být ten, kdo maká nejvíc a pomáhá spoluhráčům kolem sebe růst. To je to, co chci přinést,“ představuje se křídelní útočník.

Ještě před podpisem smlouvy mu osobně zavolala největší hvězda Litvínova Ondřej Kaše. „Byl to silný moment. Když vám volá takové jméno, jen aby vás přivítalo a řeklo, že vás v týmu chtějí – to není běžné. Cítil jsem z toho opravdový zájem, upřímnost. Takové gesto pro mě hodně znamenalo. Nebavili jsme se dlouho, ale to gesto, že se mi ozval, bylo obrovsky silné. Řekl mi, že tým hledá pracanty a že mě vítají. Vážím si toho,“ přiznává Hännikäinen.

Fin Litvínov hodně probíral i s odchovancem klubu Kristianem Reichlem, s nímž v minulé sezoně nastupoval v Mannheimu v jedné útočné formaci. „Bavili jsme se spolu o extralize, o týmu, o tom, jak to v Litvínově chodí. Vlastně i díky tomu jsem klub začal sledovat víc. Když pak znovu zazvonil telefon, všechno do sebe zapadlo. Bylo to správné načasování,“ pochvaluje si Hännikäinen.

„Když se podívám zpětně, tak jsem si kromě švýcarské ligy zahrál všechny nejlepší evropské soutěže. Teď chci poznat i tu českou. A v posledních pěti letech se podle mě extraliga opravdu zvedla. Z finského pohledu to vnímáme tak, že je otevřenější, silnější, víc mezinárodní. Dřív tu tolik Finů ani cizinců nebylo, dneska je to jinak,“ ví čerstvá posila Chemiků.

Muller em registro no programa "Gazeta Esportiva" (Reprodução - YouTube) Depois de um início ruim no Campeonato Brasileiro, com apenas quatro vitórias em 11 rodadas disputadas, o Corinthians pretende ir ao mercado da bola para fechar a contratação de alguns reforços para que o clube consiga mudar o atual panorama.

College football’s 25 most dynamic players of the past 25 years: Reggie Bush, Cam Newton lead memorable group

Settle in for a minute or two and try to recall the most memorable plays over the course of your college football fandom. Sure, many of these are likely team-specific, but a betting man would place odds on several highlights seared in your brain coming from a few of the greatest dynamos of all-time whose eye-popping flashes of individual talent won't soon be forgotten.For this summer exercise down memory lane, a look at the most dynamic players of the past 25 years begins with the 2000 season. Careers must have started from that point or thereafter. Therefore, Michael Vick and Ed Reed, among others, are not included on this list. This group is offense-heavy, but there were a pair of defenders over this stretch who changed games by simply being on the field. College football teams generating major buzz: Texas, […]

THE BAT X fantasy baseball cheat sheet: Add Ben Brown, stream Agustín Ramírez

Baseball season is well underway, and with a plethora of articles, statistics and metrics available, it can be challenging to know who to start, sit, fade and trade. Using Derek Carty’s THE BAT X projection system, The Athletic has developed a weekly program that helps fantasy managers with difficult roster decisions.AdvertisementTHE BAT X has been the most accurate original projection system in fantasy for five consecutive years and provides estimates based on a wide range of metrics, including Statcast metrics like exit velocity and barrels, as well as ballpark effects, weather conditions, matchups and much more. Another important concept to understand is regression to the mean, which means players performing above their typical level of play are likely to decline, while those underperforming are likely to improve.This week’s iteration suggests adding Ben Brown and streaming Agustín Ramírez.

Dillon Gabriel’s actual height is called into question when a picture of him with Shedeur Sanders opens an interesting debate

At Organized Team Activities (OTAs) for the Cleveland Browns, rookie quarterbacks Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel have been drawing attention for their on-field work but also for a viral photo that's caused a stir on social media. While the Browns quarterback room is packed with competition, it's not Gabriel's throwing motion or leadership that fans are suddenly dissecting. It's his height.Deion Sanders shocks sports fans with his opinion about which sport was the hardest to playListed at 5-foot-11 during the NFL Combine, Gabriel has long been considered "undersized" by traditional quarterback standards. But when a recent image showed him standing next to Shedeur Sanders, who was officially measured at 6-foot-1 inches, fans couldn't help but notice what appeared to be a much more significant height gap than just 2.5 inches."This size difference between Shedeur and Dillon is wild," one fan […]
