In a few days he collected two thousand followers. Among them, for example, the Liberec rock fan Ladislav Hampl.
“You are really good, I really enjoy this,” said the actor known for example as Jarmil from the legendary series Okresní přebor, whose West Bohemian club had already invited him to the match and prepared a place for him with a seat cushion and a name tag.
“For 20 minutes today, we opened the A-team training to the media and the public. After 20 minutes, we left it open because no one came,” reads one of the posts.
How did the idea come about in the club? “The account is managed by one of our youth coaches, who wishes to remain anonymous. He wants to help with the promotion of the match with Liberec,” explained the secretary of the current sixth unit of division A, Václav Moulis.
In any case, the author is successful in advertising. When Liberec published the lineup for the sixth round match with Olomouc on Wednesday, Rokycany reacted. “We have the indisputable advantage over Liberec that we can watch their matches, the placement of the players on the pitch and so on. To make it completely fair, we’ll also reveal our cards.” And he posted a picture with the Rokycan layout.
If you read our lineup correctly, you probably understood that we have a quite logical team. On the wings, guys who feed on speed. In the gate, the construction manager who has access to the concrete. A locksmith at the tip to unlock every gate. And the stopwatch? This is college! https://t.co/YsRxKB5wYL

That’s a college!” continued the author from Rokycan, who were eliminated by FK Komárov in the preliminary round and SK Kladno in the first round. The club’s historical record in the national cup is the 2nd round.
We have so many fans now that we are really surprised. But if anything really pleased us, it was this. Being right next to the ace of hearts is an incredible honor. pic.twitter.com/DWTzPshMlV

Rival Rokycan from Liberec also supported the advertisement on Twitter. “We appreciate the creative way in which the Rokycans have approached the promotion of the upcoming cup match on Twitter, and we enjoy participating in this game from time to time. If our opponent will profit from this both in terms of entrance fee from the match and greater reach in the online environment, we will be only too happy. The first rounds of the domestic cup have their charm precisely in the possibility of amateur and professional teams clashing, which can contribute to greater interest in football even in smaller cities,” said Liberec’s press spokesman Tomáš Čarnogurský. The match of the 2nd round of the MOL Cup will be played on Wednesday, September 14 from 5 p.m.
