"So Pelé played for the star Santos, so you played against him too?" - "Of course, but there were five players in the team who were world champions. It's a real bummer on your lungs when you're playing at two thousand two hundred meters high. It's true that we had ozone in the cabin... we breathed ozone, I mean, they gave us oxygen. We were fed up with it. You got the impression on the field that if you did three sprints, if you tried to breathe, you'd have nothing in you. But we broke them and we didn't even believe it ourselves. But we broke them. Jarda Borovička scored once a year and he scored too. It was awfully nice, people would have given us what we wanted."

"The goals in the quarter-final against the Japanese... so I remember scoring twice, but I don't remember them. But the goal in the final, you can't forget that one because it's a huge experience. I don't know how many of our footballers scored a goal in the final at the Olympics, because I think there were two. I'm not sure, because in the 80's they won 1-0, so one scored, and otherwise there were virtually no finals. So that's a rarity in a way. But I still see that goal to this day and I'll probably always see it. Because I know how the centre from one side went into the penalty area and I knew 100% that the defender would run it down. It's interesting that it turned out that way. And yeah, he underran it and I took it on my chest on that run. That was between the 10 and the big whitewash, but I knew I couldn't let it - the ball - go to the ground because if I let it go to the ground, the running back that was there would kick it away. All that was in my head at that moment. It ran through me. So I took it off my chest, I got a hooker - if I would have let go, it would have been gone. I got hooked, but I scored with my left. Well, I'm not very good with my left, but there was no time for that, it had to be done there quickly. I say I can't forget that one."
