Football: Gladiators vs. Modern Players – Skuhravý

According to former representative Tomáš Skuhravý, not only in Czech football is something fundamentally bad.

According to him, he should start with youth. The contemporary football seems to him a womanish. In an interview with journalists, he also said he enjoyed the role of grandfather.

Skuhravý entered the history of Czech football indelibly at the World Championship in Italy in 1990, where five goals helped Czechoslovakia to advance to the quarterfinals and became the second best scorer of the tournament. The independent Czech Republic made it to the World Championship only in 2006.

“It’s hard, but we’re probably doing something wrong. We have to start from youth. My heart is crying when I see an attacker in front, has a defender ahead, turns and puts backwards. You need to risk a little more, afford and push for more.

“Especially whether those players playing, whether they are in our league or abroad, do not care anymore. Let them not play just because they have a name and are in Leverkusen. It’s hard for the coach.

Today, the former coach of twenty -one Jan Suchopárek, after being eliminated in the group at the June European Championship in Slovakia, said he regularly received excuses from players during his youth team.

“It’s so sad. For us it has always been the icing on the cake, showing and pushing through the Czech Republic or representing the Czech Republic, Czechoslovakia. Whether they do the sport they want to do and not just because of money.

He has a view of contemporary football.

“I wouldn’t want to offend anyone, but maybe I offend a lot of people. I don’t want to offend mainly female sex, but I find it such a womanish. He is crying on the pitch. It’s football, guys, they are gladiators. So let them be what they want to prove.

He cooperates with the Football International Foundation.

“There are enough meetings. I also go to Slovakia, even here in the Czech Republic. They are pleasant events where we meet after a long time and most of all there is something for former players,” said Skuhravý.

Recently he became grandfather. “I enjoy it a lot. I am mainly glad that they are healthy, it is the most important.

Today’s exhibition on the occasion of the celebrations of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Lower Chabry football club only participated as a spectator. “I am after the endoprosthesis, I have to rehabilitate a month. But in a month you will see me on the pitch,” said Skuhravý.
