Viktoria Plzeň coach Miroslav Koubek after the 9th round FORTUNA:LIGA match against Pardubice.

You broke the Pilsen record for most wins, what does that mean for you?

I don´t really follow statistics, but if that´s the case, it´s obviously a pleasing finding. It shows that the team is working well and is on the right track.

Did today´s game show the team´s confidence, as they were able to recover from the loss of Jindřich Stanek and the goal they received? 

It was a blow. I was a bit worried about the game because Thursday´s game cost us a lot of strength. We made some changes. As for the goal, it was a complication, but I believed that the team could handle it.

Both stoppers scored for the first time today, do they both deserve praise for their contribution to the team? 

It´s good when they can score after standard situations. If you look at it, we spread the goals between multiple players. We have scored twenty-six goals in the league and our variation is huge.

The game at Sparta is coming up, is the squad ideally tuned now? 

The way we are playing is promising. We are going there with respect for the opponent, but we are certainly not going to hide and crawl with too much respect. We´re looking forward to the game. 

What complication can the absence of Jindřich Stanek be for you? 

We´ll see what the result will be, I don´t want to get ahead of myself. If you have a member of the national team in goal and he couldn´t be available for health reasons, it´s a complication. But I believe in our goalkeepers that we have here, Marián Tvrdoň jumped in today, he did well with his feet. If Jindra doesn´t catch much, I have full confidence in Marián. 

Is Lukáš Kalvach in national team form? 

That is for the national team coach to decide. I would like him to be a member of the nomination at the next meeting. He´s showing very good form, he´s definitely in good shape.
