It's not long since the US television station CNN selected Bojnice and Trenčín among the 11 biggest tourist attractions in Slovakia.

One Canadian TV again sent Matus a number of filmmakers to film a documentary about the famous "hockey" street Under Brezina, where side by side are the Slovak NHL hockey players.

The nearest Trenčín region can be the foreground again. This time Spanish soccer player Stanislav Lobotka could be lured by Spanish documentary filmmakers to the Great Castle.

"If they came, the whole village is sure about it. Our village bucks are sometimes faster than the internet. Even now, when we come home, they all know it right now. It's both fun and nice at the same time. I always like to go home, "Smile smiles from Stano's ear. "May the whole world know that it comes from the Great Castle and not from Trenčín, as often mentioned in the biography," the mayor of the village Anna Petríková smiled.

Just in the village with 700 inhabitants, Stanko made the first football steps. "We are proud of the fact that such a celebrity has roots in our country. Children love him. They always gratify them with some detail, hand out their signatures, take a shot, have a great pattern in it. It is rare for us to come home, "the mayor said.

It sounds a fairly fairy tale, but a stable member of the Slovak football team, and the soccer star, who was responsible for the first football in Veľká Hradná. "You do not have as many options as you can in the village. An acrylic playground where all the boys from the neighborhood are bouncing. And it serves not only football, but also tennis or hockey. When we were kicking our boots, I had to turn around all the boys, ring them at the house and agree what, where, when. There were no mobiles. It was a beautiful time, I was enjoying my childhood, "says 23-year-old football player Celty Vigo.

You sit with him at one table, ordering mint tea. No stellar manners, even though millions are turning around. "It's exaggerated. So much money for a football player's transfer. I remember well how much I received when I signed the first professional contract with Trencin in my sixteen. Exactly 333 euros. Even that was a big money for me. I did not know what to do with them. I was still going to school, "he continued.

"I'm still just a boy from a village trying to push. For six years, I woke up every morning to the bus from Veľká Hradná to Trenčín. That's what I remember today. I confess, there have been times when I was not afraid to feed a football once, "Lobotka said. "I know where I'm coming from. Parents were not particularly wealthy. I grew up in modest conditions and I want to stay modest, "says the former player of Trencin, Ajax Amsterdam and Danish Nordsjaelland. "Everything went away. We're watching his career, we're glad to let him go, "said the First Lady of the Great Castle.

His journey to the summit is definitely interesting. Perhaps once again it appears filthy. Like the Bojnice Castle, Trenčiansky Castle, or the famous hockey street Pod Brezinou. And if the filmmakers shoot this Lobotka story, they must be navigated to a branch between Trenčín and Bánovcami. Great Castle is sure to find ...
