TV Thwarted Nomination of Kulič and Pecka
Were not for the fact that the management of the sports editorial office of Czech TV selected the match of the 14th round between FK Mladá Boleslav and Siad Most for Monday's live broadcast, Marek Kulič and Luboš Pecka would dress the shirts of the national team in the friendly match against Denmark. As the international match takes place on Wednesday, the head-coach of the national team Karel Brückner did not call up both players of Mladá Boleslav finally because of lack of time for their resting.
Karel Brückner revealed during official announcing nomination of the national team for the friendly match between the Czech Republic and Denmark that will take place on Wednesday, November 15, that he considered inviting also Pecka together with Kulič from the team of Mladá Boleslav in spite of the fact that he noticed a drop of his form resulting from enormous autumn load. "I talked about him with the coach Uhrin, whether he could play in other posts. Moreover we have also Matějovský there, Boleslav is a team from which we draw now," said the head-coach of the national team in front of journalists and continued in explaining nomination background. Where there was a week for a match of the national team formerly, the league matches were played on Saturday so that the players could have rest on Sunday. But is has changed. As I learnt, this was ordered by our management. Yes gentlemen, TV is a mighty sorceress. If it is in contract that they may select any match for broadcasting, I can do nothing with it," added Brückner. And confirmed in this way, that the nomination of Kulič and Pecka in the national team was thwarted by unhappy joint decision of the persons from the management of the Czech-Moravian Football Association and Czech TV. It would be confirmation of the trust of the national coach for Kulič while for Pecka, it would be a national team premiere. What a pity...
