"Family is number one. As long as it's about family, everything goes aside," said OndrÃ¡à ¡ek. "Things happened pretty quickly this year. I had to decide quickly, and I did decide. I put the family in front of soccer. I would like to thank everybody here: in the club, around the club, in the city."
