Alois Hadamczik Quotations

Unfortunately we didn't score with the chances we had, and that's why we lost.

I didn't believe he could be able to return to skating so soon. His performance in the games he has played proved that he should be able to cope with the brief (Olympic) tournament.

We learned from our mistakes in the game against Sweden, where we played poorly. We knew Russia had good, quality offensive players, and the only way for us to have success was to play good defense and not give them space. It's a great success for us to win the bronze.

The shadow of this game is the foul on Jaromir Jagr.

Of course, it could influence the Olympics. We think the audience comes to see the stars and Jaromir Jagr is one of the stars. We should protect such players against such fouls.

The Czech people have the highest ambitions and we are aware of this. It would be nice to appear in the final game.

Jagr wants to show his best skills and be what he is (a great player).

We got scored on at the beginning of both periods and we made a lot of individual mistakes.
