Could you imagine such a debut in Europe?
"I dreamt about it (laughs). I´m thrilled, both about the win and the goal. It´s a big thing, the first match in Europe and immediately a winning goal for my team. I´m truly excited."

How did your winning goal from Petr Ševčík´s corner happen?
"To be honest, we practiced that. It´s a normal process for the team."

Increasing the lead in extra time could be a crucial moment for the second leg, do you agree?
"It´s very important, the second goal means a lot for us. A better position, it could be a step towards the Europa League. So yes, it was indeed a very important moment for us."

What can you say to the fans? 18,522 of them came to Eden.
"As always, I highly appreciate the fans. I love them for how they support us. Once again, they put everything into it. It´s amazing, they support us in every game."

What do you expect from the second leg?
"I think it will be very tough. But we are Slavia, so we can win it. We have to."
