Although the weather was not so good during the first training, the coach Vrba was happy after it because they could use the natural lan. „It´s not so often in this time that we can use the natural grass so I´m satisfied with the conditions,“ Vrba says. The media interest was big because of the fresher Stanislav Tecl.

How did you feel about the transfer?
It was more or less in the authority of the owner Paclík and the COE Šádek. I´m glad we strenghtened our ofensive power where I think had some deficiency in autumn so I hope this will get better when Tecl came. I hope we´ll score more often than in the autumn part.

Could you describe Stanislav Tecl, the offender? Why is he so strong?

As you all know if he played and was healthy Jihlava was in the middle of the standings and I think he and Koloušek were the two decisive players in offence. After their leaving Jihlava weakened a bit. I can characterize him as an excellent scorer with a great potential. He is also very fast, which is a big plus and we want to build on it. Our team lost when Petržela and Pilař left so I hope this will change now.

Can you imagine him in the lineup with Bakoš or there is only one of them to play?
They can be together with Bakoš, Kolář and Ďuriš, too. Of course, we´ll consider this depending on the situation and on the players´ physical condition.

Tecl can play at several positions, either the centre forward, or on the sides. In your opinion, what suits him better?
We all know when he played in Jihlava his strongest position was the centre forward so I´m gonna go from this fact. I don´t say it´ll be the same here in Plzeň because the competition here is different than in Jihlava. We´ve got lots of tallented offenders such as Bakoš, Kolář, Ďuriš, Vaněček or  Adamov so the  competition is big but we all are convinced that Tecl is a high-quality player and that´s why we agreed on him.

Martin Fillo came back to the team. What´s his current position?
Martin had two options. Either continue playing in Mladá Boleslav or come back to Plzeň. He decided to fight for his position here in Viktoria so his situation is that everything depends on him and how he´ll make it. Of course, it´s a bit easier for him now than when he came from Viking because now he knows what the quality of the team is and he has to show some good performances.

A young player David Vaněček from Sokolov will get a chance to be a part of A team, too.
David Vaněček is another one from the offensive line and of course we find him showing a good football quality in Sokolov in autumn. He scored the goals, which helped Sokolov to certain points so we wanted him here during our winter training preparation so we´ll see how he works.

How satisfied are you with the programme of your winter trainings, the opponents etc.?
On the contrary to the last year we missed the Tipsport Cup. Finally we found out it was a good decision for us because we start the Europa League much sooner  then the home team start the Gambrinus League and this Cup is very busy at the end of January so that´s why we didn´t want to participate it. Another reason was that we met only the teams from the 2nd and 1st League and we didn´t want it – we wanted to meet also the teams of lower leagues. And of course I believe the Cyprus part will prepare us in order to manage the EL matches. We´ll meet the teams such as Levski Sofia, Lokomotiv Moskva or Slask Wroclav, it means the teams playing the EL as well. From this point of view I think we will be prepared well.

Napoli plays on Sunday evening against AS Rome, are you going to see it?
I´m not but there will be our man to watch the game so I´ll be informed.
