McDavid smekal před Jágrem, ten na oplátku mluvil o Bohu. A naznačil, jak dál s kariérou

V lednu prodal 80 procent kladenského klubu podnikateli Tomáši Drastilovi a sám si nechal jen pětinový podíl. Jaromír Jágr přiznal, že se mu ulevilo od tlaku a může se tak soustředit jen na to, co miluje nejvíc. Tedy na hokej.

„Hokej pořád miluju, rád trénuju a nechci ztloustnout. Chci zůstat zdravý. Zhrubnul jsem skoro deset kilo a cítím se trochu líp,“ vyprávěl Jágr před pár dny, a nyní v rozhovoru pro Sportsnet připustil, že může hrát dál. „Myslím, že ano. Doufám v to,“ prohlásila legenda Rytířů, kteří v létě procházejí razantní obměnou kádru.

Ústředním bodem rozhovoru pro Sportsnet však byla osoba Connora McDavida. Ten se s Jágrem minulý týden po čtvrtém finálovém zápase v play off NHL potkal na Floridě a několik minut spolu – i s McDavidovým otcem Brianem – diskutovali.

„Měl jsem možnost se s ním několikrát setkat, je to hokejová legenda. Jeden z nejlepších, kteří kdy hráli. Je skvělé s ním strávit nějaký čas,“ ocenil kapitán Oilers nejproduktivnějšího Evropana v dějinách.

A Jágr nyní majiteli tří Hart Trophy a pěti Art Ross Trophy komplimenty vracel. „Je radost se na něj dívat. Díky tomu, jak hraje, vypadají někdy velmi dobří hráči směšně. A to je výjimečné. Vždycky obdivuji lidi, kteří jsou lepší než ostatní. Věřím v Boha. A v něm (McDavidovi) vidím Boha. Je v tom něco velkého. Toho si vždycky vážím. Protože to musí být něco víc než my ostatní,“ uvažoval Jágr.

Osmadvacetiletou současnou hvězdu NHL přirovnává k nejlepším hráčům historie, jakými byli Mario Lemieux nebo Wayne Gretzky.

„Musíte mít něco výjimečného, abyste mohli dominovat na takové úrovni. Musíte být výjimeční. Když se podíváte na basketbal, máte Jordana. Musíte být jiný. A být takový jiný je něco výjimečného. Tak to vidím já. Oceňuji velikost lidí. Gretzky byl jiný. Mario Lemieux taky,“ míní Jágr.

Na svém facebooku pak dodával, že významnou roli u skvělých sportovců hrají jejich rodiče. Za příklad dával i svého otce. „V mých sedmi letech mi řekl, že budu každý den pracovat na farmě, čímž získám sílu do horní časti těla. A abych měl silné nohy, budu dělat 1000 dřepů denně. Táta Gretzkyho zase udělal na zahradě malé hokejové hřišťátko. Nechal ho v zimě zamrznout a Wayne tři až čtyři hodiny denně bruslil. Proto měl tak vynikající otočky,“ míní Jágr.

Proto jej při setkání s McDavidovým otcem Brianem zajímalo, jaký byl jeho recept, aby se Connor stal hvězdným hokejistou.

„Zeptal jsem se ho, jak trénovali, jaké cviky dělali. Co dělali jinak než ostatní hokejisté. A dostal jsem odpověď. Táta, máma i Connor se shodli na tom, proč má tak skvělé bruslení a obrovskou frekvenci pohybu nohou. Odpověď si nechám pro sebe, ale jsem rád, že jsem se znovu přesvědčil o tom, že když chceš být výjimečný, musíš dělat věci, co před tebou nikdo nedělal. Musíš jim věřit a být trpělivý, protože ani Praha nebyla postavena za jeden rok,“ uzavřel Jágr.

Rafael Devers Says He’ll Play ‘Wherever’ The Giants Want Him To Play

<!--> One of the greatest points of tension that spelled the end of Rafael Devers' tenure in Boston was his refusal to play first base for the Red Sox. But, after being traded to the San Francisco Giants on Sunday, it seems Devers has had a change of heart, and is willing to fill a need for his new team that he was unwilling to for his previous organization."I’m here to play wherever they want me to play," Devers said when speaking to the media ahead of his Giants' debut.On Tuesday, Devers will bat third and play designated hitter, but he will reportedly take ground balls to "get comfortable" at 1B. This is significant for the Giants as Devers' former and usual position in the field — third base — is manned by five-time Gold Glove winner Matt Chapman. If Devers can […]
