Here, until May 26, the Czech hockey representatives will really feel at home! The spartan changing room – the largest in the O2 Arena – is a luxurious facility for the players.
Custodians Zdeněk Šmíd, Oldřich Kopecký and Petr Šulan set to work to create the famous Czech cabin before the start of the home championship. On the entrance door of Červenka and spol. will be greeted by the national coat of arms, a flag with a blue wedge and the slogans »One country, one heart«, »Our country, our pride« or »Prepare to fight!« shine above the hangers.
In order for the warmth of the home to radiate to the hockey players at every corner, in addition to chimneys from the equipment, they also have a stuffed plastic bag ready at their places. Would such a fashionable addition to a hockey nation in the middle of Europe?
All that remains is to hang up the jerseys, sharpen the knives and hide the gold from the 2024 World Cup in your bag at the end of the tournament! “It’s certainly nicer to be here in the home booth and have the Czech flags there than to be in the guest booth as an opponent. It’s more interesting this way, after all.” praised newcomer Jáchym Kondelík (24) from České Budějovice.
You know that…The Czech cabin for the World Cup also includes a corner for coaches, a warm-up room, a relaxation room and a sauna and whirlpool. |
I wish Rulík’s team would last until the final!
