Vondrka: Me and the best player of Motor? I don't want to touch anyone, but not by accident<

It was Vondrka who was returning to the extra league in the Motor jersey after an injury that sidelined him for a long time. For several months. He had the word patience in his repertoire every day. "Physically, I feel good, but it's difficult. After the year-long injury, I'm patient, I have to keep going. I believe I'll repay the coaches' trust."

Motor coach Jaroslav Modrý doesn't think there are reserves in Vondrk's game at all. "These are not reserves," he responded to the question. "Not at all," he shook his head dismissively. "These are tiny reactions, a tiny step here or there. He has to work to be where he wants to be again." Blue highlighted Vondrk's capacity for self-reflection. "He is a veteran. He knows his game, his performances, he knows when he is playing well. He is a smart boy," says the coach about Michal Vondrk. Also in his eyes, this attacker is an important link of the Engine. "He's an excellent hockey player, he helps us in many details, it's nice to have him on the team."

Vondrka, in addition to being declared the best player, experienced one more paradox. After Gulaš's assist, he scored a goal, but did not shoot at all. "I don't know at all," he responded. "I told Gulim right away. I didn't feel the puck touch me." Will the video bring proof? "I won't even look at it. If someone fixes it, they fix it. I told the referees that I didn't even know that the puck touched me. I didn't report this shot at all."
