At the end of the winter transfer period, the Ostrava footballers received two reinforcements until the end of the season. Baník hired midfielder Dominik Janošek from Pilsen, and the defensive universal Ladislav Takács from Slavia. Both agreements include a transfer option. The clubs reported on transfers on their websites.
With the arrival of Janoška, Baník reacted to the injuries of middle midfielders Lukáš Budínský and Daniel Tetour, who has been suffering from an injured knee for two months now. Ostrava is the sixth league club after Slovakia’s Brno, Brno, Mladá Boleslav, Zlín and Pilsen. The 23-year-old midfielder has played 101 matches in the highest competition so far.
According to the agency, he had three more offers. “It’s true that we already bought tickets to Norway when Baník called. This offer makes sense to me, so I didn’t hesitate to accept it at all. It’s an honor to be here.” Janošek said.
“Dominik belongs to the circle of players that Baník has been following for a long time, and we have now intensified our negotiations after the players dropped out for a long time on Wednesday due to health reasons and it was necessary to react. We believe that Dominik will use his potential with us, ” said the sports director of Ostrava Alois Grussmann.
Takács has recently struggled with health problems. After the departure of David Zima, he returned to the Slavia team in September, but had to take turns in a match on the Bohemians 1905 pitch. He later injured his meniscus during training and had to have two operations. “But he is now in the final stages of convalescence and there are all assumptions that he will soon jump back into the training process,” Grussmann said.
Takács has 150 starts and 14 goals in the league. In addition to Slavia, he worked in Mladá Boleslav, Teplice and the second-league Sokolov. He is a former under-21 representative. “He is a player who was a valid member of the Slavia team at the time of her great dominance. He played heavy cup matches, including the Champions League, and since he is only 25, he has been active in the highest competition for the ninth season. He is very experienced for his age. moreover, as well usable as a stopper and as a defensive midfielder, “ added Grussmann.
