The era of unquestioned dominance for DHC Slavia Most in Czech handball appears to be over. After years of securing the league title, the team experienced a significant shift last season, losing its previous certainty. This unexpected challenge, however, might be the catalyst the team needs to rediscover its winning edge.
Veteran player Adéla Stříšková expressed optimism about the team's current situation. "Let them be afraid!" she stated, referring to their rivals. "Certainty is gone, it will be a fight." Stříšková believes this newfound uncertainty could reignite the team's hunger for victory, a crucial element for sustained success in a competitive league.

This shift from being the hunted to potentially being the underdog could foster a renewed sense of determination. Stříšková hopes this will bring back the drive that defined their earlier successes, pushing them to fight harder for every point and ultimately, for the title.
I hope it brings back our hunger!
