The President Josef Dufek Is Satisfied with 2006

05. 01. 2007 |  

Josef Dufek did not think about the question when he was most happy about Mladá Boleslav football too long. "I felt best in two unforgettable moments. The first one was in Liberec where we gained participation in a qualification round of the Champions League at five to twelve, and the other such moment was qualifying through Olympique Marseille in the UEFA Cup." And when you were, on the contrary, most disappointed? Somewhere around the fifty-ninth minute of the match on the pitch of Galatasaray Istanbul when we lost 0:4," said Josef Dufek.
The president of FK Mladá Boleslav stresses at every suitable opportunity that the primary goal of the Uhrin's team at the first appearance on European scene was qualifying through Valerenga Oslo in the third pre-round of the Champions League and thus also definite participation in the UEFA Cup in case of failure against Galatasaray. Qualifying through Marseille in the basic group of the UEFA Cup was unexpected achievement exceeding our initial plan. "We were equal rival of well established and reputable clubs and made maximum for promotion of both Mladá Boleslav and Czech football."
2006 is past now. "The players needed above all to have a rest as nobody of them has not undergone such stint like in the last year," means the president Dufek and he sees the main cause of the fact that the team of Mladá Boleslav lost close contact with the top of the league standings just in unusually increased fatigue. "I am convinced that we have set off a correct way with long-term building of the team. I will primarily drink a toast to 2007 to be as fantastic like 2006 on New Year's Eve." And all supporters of FK Mladá Boleslav will certainly join Dufek's toast.
