Pilsen makes no secret of the fact that due to the demanding program that awaits it at least at the beginning of the season (it will enter the preliminary rounds of the Champions League on July 19), it wants to bring another attacker to the pair Chorý-Kliment and young Trus.
“If he is an interesting and affordable player, we will definitely be interested in him. We do not give up this variant, “said assistant Pavel Horváth after Tuesday’s winning training with Slovan Bratislava (3: 1), in which Chorý scored twice. Quite possibly he will meet Cicilia soon in training.
The 27-year-old native of the Netherlands Antilles did not start training with Slovácko, he is reportedly only waiting for Thursday, when his contract expires and he becomes a free agent. At that moment, there would be nothing to stop him from getting involved in Victoria’s training.
“Pilsen is interested in the player, he has already passed physical tests there. The club will definitely test him, he will also undergo a medical examination, but the fact that his involvement would be a done deal, certainly not,” says a Sport.cz source regarding possible reinforcements of the West Bohemian club. Apparently, Cicilia did not come to the tests in perfect condition, which unpleasantly surprised the experienced coach Michal Bílek.
Given the physical parameters, Cicilia could be a suitable replacement for last year’s top scorer Jean-David Beauguel, who left after the championship season. He worked, for example, in Aachen, Roda Kerkrade or in the second league FC Eindhoven. Since the summer of 2020, he has played for Slovácko, for which he scored 9 goals in 41 league matches.
“But he didn’t break up with the club at best, and this is also a signal for Pilsen that the bosses of Victoria and the coaches must consider everything properly,” adds the source Sport.cz.

On the contrary, the numerous cadres of Viktoria will leave in the coming days the midfielders Káčer and Janošek, who no longer played against the Slavs. According to Sport.cz, Káčer is leaving for Dunajská Streda. Although the midfielder Mosquera did not intervene in the mentioned match, he flew to Barcelona to obtain a new passport.
“Certain changes in Viktoria’s staff will certainly take place, Gabriel is preparing with Jihlava, other young players are in Chrudim. However, due to the busy Pilsen program, it can be expected that the staff will remain wider for the autumn part,” adds source Sport.cz acquainted with the situation in the West Bohemian club.
