Kinsky's Dream Debut: Tottenham Goalkeeper Reflects on Win Over Liverpool

Read

Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky discusses his dream debut against Liverpool, his experiences at Slavia, and his goals for the future.




Tottenham's new goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky is still basking in the glory of his “dream” debut against Liverpool. The 21-year-old Czech keeper joined Tottenham just days before the match and was thrown into the starting lineup against the Premier League leaders.


“This is what I always dreamed of,” Kinsky said in an interview with Sport Invest, the agency that represents him. When asked about when he knew he would be starting against Liverpool, Kinsky replied, “By only being here for three days, I didn't know completely long in advance. I sensed it from pre-match training and from the way the coaches spoke to me. Both during those three days and especially the goalkeeping coach the day before the game. I knew there.”


Kinsky's preparation for the match was far from ideal, having played his last game on December 15th. However, he revealed that he had been working on his conditioning with Lukas Stransky, which helped him feel strong and speedy. “I played my last game on December 15th and since then I've only had conditioning with Lukas Stransky. It made me feel great, in strength, in speed, which a goalkeeper needs. That was good, I was catching well. And I could just get into goalie mode, I got into it quickly.”


Tottenham's new goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky has revealed that he felt surprisingly calm during his debut against Liverpool, despite the high-pressure circumstances. When asked if he felt any inner uncertainty or jitters before the big game, Kinsky replied, “By the fact that I started the last game three weeks ago, that kind of anticipation of how it would look was there. Classically by the time I went to warm-up and then it was in the same mode as always. Concentrating on myself, on individual situations and trying not to notice the surroundings, which I think is the key to being able to give a good performance. Letting go of whether there are 60, 30,000 people in the stadium or nobody.”



Kinsky's calm demeanor was put to the test as Liverpool pushed forward more and more as time went on. However, the 21-year-old goalkeeper felt well-prepared for the challenge. “Good. During the aforementioned three-week break, I was in the gym almost every day, preparing physically. Then it was just about getting the goalkeeping moves in. And I did that. Thanks to the great conditions at the training centre and the great attitude of the coaches who helped me get up to speed quickly. Especially the goalkeeping coach, who talked to me a lot on the first day and took me to training.”


Despite having only three days to prepare with his new team, Kinsky felt that the club's supportive attitude made all the difference. “It was only three days, everything happened so fast, but thanks to the attitude of everyone in the club, it was manageable,” he said.


Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky made two crucial saves in the second half against Liverpool, denying Darwin Nunez on both occasions. When asked about the saves, Kinsky emphasized the importance of being a well-rounded goalkeeper. “It's not just about playing with my feet, but also about helping the team in moments when it needs it.”


Kinsky acknowledged that he was fortunate to be able to make the saves, but also credited his positioning and reaction time. “I was lucky that they were catchable shots and the ball didn't go straight into the net, which happens quite often in the Premier League. I concentrated on being well-positioned and being able to react in time.” The 21-year-old goalkeeper was thrilled with the outcome of the match, saying, “I'm delighted with the saves, the result and the whole club.”

Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky was asked about his experience with the atmosphere at the stadium during his debut against Liverpool. Kinsky revealed that his previous experience playing for Slavia helped him prepare for the energetic crowd. “The fact that I came from Slavia, where it is extremely noisy during the game, helped me a lot.”


Kinsky described the atmosphere at the Tottenham stadium as intense and exhilarating. “Here, of course, there were three times as many people and when the whole stadium started for the first time, I thought, 'Dude, this is crazy'.” He compared the atmosphere to that of his former club Slavia's home stadium, Eden, but ranked the Tottenham experience higher due to the circumstances of the match. “The atmosphere is comparable to Eden (Slavia's home), although I have to say I rank this one higher. Also because of the circumstances - for Tottenham, against Liverpool, winning at home, 60,000 people... I'm excited about it.”


Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky shared the first reactions of his teammates and club staff after his impressive debut against Liverpool. Kinsky described the atmosphere in the cabin as one of excitement and joy. “Everybody was excited. I'm very happy because I came a few days back.”


Kinsky expressed his gratitude to his teammates and the club staff for their warm welcome and support, which helped him settle in quickly. “The club is huge, there are so many people working here, but everyone is very nice and helpful. It wouldn't have been possible without that. You can't really settle down in three days. But the guys and everyone around me helped me.” Kinsky was thrilled to be able to repay their kindness with a strong performance on the pitch. “And I'm especially glad that I could give back to everyone with my performance in the match. Not by thanking them for every single thing.”


A heartwarming video of Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky sharing an emotional post-match hug with his sister has been making the rounds on social media. When asked about what was said during the emotional moment, Kinsky revealed that it was a brief but meaningful exchange. “A few words, it was emotional.”


Kinsky explained that seeing his family in the stands during the warm-up had brought him immense joy, and the victory only added to the special moment. “In the warm-up I saw they were in the stands, I was so happy. You don't always go to them. Now the result of the game helped. And it was nice that my sister was down like that and therefore the first one I could share it with.” Kinsky also took the opportunity to express his gratitude for his sister's unwavering support. “I've said it a few times: She's there for me, all the time, just like my parents. In the moments when I've been good, and when I haven't. I'm grateful for that and I appreciate it.”


Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky was asked about his long-term goals and aspirations, both for the current season and beyond. Kinsky admitted that he has thought about his future plans, but is keen to stay grounded and focused on the present. “Definitely. I have my plans and goals. Honestly, I've got four days and 90 minutes on the pitch now, so I want to keep my feet on the ground and not say I want to win this and that.”


Kinsky emphasized his commitment to hard work and preparation, recognizing that he still has much to prove. “I'm just going to go back to training tomorrow and work hard to be as prepared as I can for the next game.” He expressed his desire to be ready for the next opportunity to play, whenever that may be. “If the coaches point at me again, I want to be ready and give as good a performance as I showed against Liverpool now and as I always try to do.”


Tottenham's new goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky made a strong impression in his debut against Liverpool, showcasing his confidence and ability to play with the ball. When asked about his performance, Kinsky said, “I like to play with the ball and I would say I have enough confidence. But I don't like to take risks. There is a difference between being smart, confident and taking risks.”


Kinsky acknowledged that he wasn't at his best in the first half, but felt more confident as the game wore on. “The first half wasn't 100 per cent from me yet, in the second half I was confident. I want to keep playing like this,” he said. The 21-year-old goalkeeper also praised his teammates for their support, saying, “The other guys helped me a lot.”
