Šíma

their striker is very good. he uses his body well and his first touch is sharp and I don't like how he finds space behind the midfield line

Hájek

we've handled good strikers before

Šíma

we have. I'm saying this one requires attention

Novotný

Mareš will handle him

Šíma

Mareš will handle him. yes

Mareš

I've watched the film. his movement off the ball is good. his aerial game is average

Šíma

the tower has assessed the target. the aerial game is average. the target has been measured and found shorter than required

Mareš

I didn't say shorter. I said average

Šíma

for you, average IS shorter

Polášek

are we ready?

Hájek

we're ready

Šíma

Hájek says we're ready. that settles it. the captain who is not the captain has declared readiness

Hájek

I'm not the captain

Šíma

you have been the captain of every room you've walked into since you were sixteen. the armband is a formality you have never needed

Kovár

that's actually true
