Rokas Pukštas and Hajduk: Bicycle Mishap or Sporting Drama?
Have you ever heard of a footballer who literally fell off a bike on the way to training? Meet Rokas Pukštas, a young Hajduk player whose bicycle mishap grabbed more attention than some goals on the pitch!
Tough Training and a Coach Who Inspires
Pukštas revealed in an interview with Hajduk TV that the preparations for the season are tough, but coach Gonzalo Garcia is a real star. “He is the kind of coach you always want by your side, always there to explain and help,” says the young footballer. His goal is to be better this season, contributing more goals and assists, as last season he wasn’t at his best.
The Bicycle Adventure That Went Viral
But the real drama happened off the pitch. One morning, Pukštas got stuck in traffic and decided to take his bike out of the car and continue to Poljud on two wheels. However, things didn’t go as planned – he fell into a manhole! Luckily, there were no serious injuries, but the bike was destroyed, and he ran the rest of the way.
“Have You Ever Fallen Off a Bike?” – The Question That Made Everyone Laugh
The Hajduk journalist couldn’t miss the chance to ask if he had ever fallen off a bike. Pukštas smiled and replied, “I don’t remember, that’s the past. Now I’m better!” Clearly, this fall is just extra motivation for him to be stronger on the pitch.
Hajduk in Preparations and New Challenges
Hajduk is in the preparation phase, playing matches against Slovenian Kalcer Radomlje and Bulgarian CSKA Sofia. New coach Garcia is leading the team through tough training, and players like Pukštas want to show their best. Michele Šego has already shown great form by scoring a 20-meter goal against Radomlje.
Conclusion: Falling Off a Bike as a Metaphor for the Struggle
Pukštas’s fall off the bike is not just a funny anecdote but a symbol of the fight and persistence of a young athlete. As he prepares for the new season, he shows that falls cannot stop those determined to succeed.
