“Of course, the first thing people say is: You must have made a lot of money there. You will be above the standard here and you will have to prove it,” says the former West Ham player, who has his own experience of returning to the Czech top flight when he briefly played for Mlada Boleslav in the 2006/2007 season. However, he managed only seven league matches in the Central Bohemian team’s jersey , before he was sidelined by kidney problems, which subsequently led to two transplants.
Today, the 37-year-old football expert is looking for an explanation of the problems in returning to the Czech top league and in the style in which it is played. “The Czech league is extremely demanding… it is physically extremely demanding,” he says on the subject.

“It’s physically demanding because we lose a lot of balls, so we fight a lot of games, we run a lot of games,” he continues. “We don’t have technique and creativity and finesse, so we lose balls and that’s why we run so much,” he adds.
Among the recent unsuccessful returns, we can name, for example, Ladislav Krejčí Sr. in Sparta, Michael Krmenčík in Slavia or Tomáš Necid in Bohemians.
