"It is the dream of every young player to fight for his future.
I am grateful to God for the opportunity to be in Jablonec. Now is the time to start working on a better future.
"I'm happy that I could see the match. It was a very good match, few people expected such a result from the boys and the boys left everything there.
It was difficult for them to even with the red card. I saw it as such a commitment that the boys were aggressive and they are hungry. Every club needs this.
After I saw it and I will give it my hundred per cent, we can prove this more often in the season", he said.
