Roman Procházka’s Commentary

The score was opened in the 6th minute by Roman Procházka by a rebounded shot. “I began to make fun of that because I score most goals after a rebound,“ he is smiling. “I think the reason is that I often try to shoot from distance. I’m glad I succeed but my goals are not important, the main thing is the team’s victory,“ Roman Procházka knows. Jan Kopic linked to his teammate by two goals. “I think I needed them in order to get in a good mental mood,“ the midfielder is pleased.
