Pavel Nedved doesn’t have any injuries and is perfectly fit but announces he is no longer playing for the Czech National team to give younger players a chance and says it was a difficult decision for him.
I don’t think it was a difficult decision for him to make since he doesn’t really have any options, and the difficulty lies in his acceptance that he can no longer play and keep up with the younger players in the National Team. At 34 years old, it would be foolish for a coach to include him in the team and build plays together with him as he is already at the sunset of his career and most likely would not be a factor in Euro 2008, let alone FIFA World Cup in South Africa on 2010.
Pavel intends to continue playing but with the relegated Juventus in the second division, a pathetic move considering the stars and core of the team has already left for a better club in a higher division. This is another decision that Pavel Nedved has no control off whose place in Juventus is the only option he has.
Pavel won the 2003 European Footballer of the Year but was forced to retire in 2004 after he suffered a knee injury in Euro 2004. Footballer of the Year award will not help Pavel retain favorable status in the National Team and had it not been for the relegation of Juventus, he must be packing his bags home.
@colemdcpro Lampard's better than Gerrard.
@AtlanteBeatles random coz crouch isnt in the video
@pdennis1972 then who is that tall guy with the name CROUCH on his back and number 21
@colemdcpro 100th like :')
@colemdcpro How can you say that when Rooney hasn't scored a single goal in 2 World Cups?
@AtlanteBeatles oh sorry
crouch should have never been dropped. We'd be European champions by now.
@colemdcpro frank lampard is better than gerrard.
@thaN0s1993
Oh no…
@MetallicaSkz he scores way more and helps his team way more…gerrard is faster and stronger.only that way.but lampard has much better technique.
Haha rooney had all his hair in this vid
He is going bald amd fast haha
England really screwed up. How can they consistently play Gerrard in every other position except his strongest one. A player of this caliber may never come again.
@89SickSo he is the midfielder with the most goals in the premier league.so cry me a river.
not as good as his first with liverpool
@OwlBunei overrated like every other English player
@MrHelloProductions i am talking about the highest scoring midfielder in the history of premier league and you tell me that gerrard was injured.you think lampard has never been injured? also gerrard plays for liverpool's first team since he was 18 or 19 and still he hasnt scored the goals frankie has.
@MrHelloProductions true that..but let me remind you the fact that frank lampard also has more assists than steven gerrard. So how the fuck you say gerrard is better?
Steven Gerrard is the best english player in the last decade. Just look at this contributions in the 2001 treble, the 2003 league cup, champions league 2005 and fa cup 2006.
@thaN0s1993 lampard 5% better going forward, gerrard 95% better at everything else, leadership, workrate, tackling, marking, running, y'know the shit that don't make the papers. you could even dispute lamps being better going forward on the basis that he has better wingers and more physical strikers to take the playmaking burden off him. lamps could never drag a team forward single handedly like gerrard can/could
@casualastheycome really…do you believe that gerrard has the technique lampard does? not even close.
@thaN0s1993 but the extra 'technique' lampard supposeadly has only gets him a little bit more because he is half the athlete of gerrard, plus gerrard technique is not exactly far away. if i were going to defend lampard i would sayhe was cleverer. the fact that you haven't even mentioned that means you really don't know what your talking about and i can't be arsed to continue this arguement. good day
@casualastheycome do you remember lampard's goal against barcelona? one of the most outstanding goals i have seen in my life.
@thaN0s1993 so? i'm not saying lampard's shit, he has his moments, just that gerrard is twice the footballer. if lampard is the english version of totti then gerrard is the english version of totti, de rossi, camouranesi and del piero all rolled into one.
@casualastheycome gerrard is a player who can defend and can attack. truth is he is better at a defensive role.. like a ball winning midfielder. lampard is more creative and can score with many more ways than gerrard.
@thaN0s1993 exactly gerrards complete, but lampard is so attacking you can't really fit him into a 442
who needs rooney
Lampard is quality, there's no doubt about that.
Gerrard is just better.
As Smithy said so himself.
He can defend, he can attack, my god he can strike a ball, his passing range is better, he can head, he's far more agile than Frank, there's no one better at motivating a team, whether its Liverpool or England, than Stevie, he's a fantastic leader and role model.
Taking nothing away from Lampard though.
@thaN0s1993 Gerrard vs Olympiakos and West Ham United.
Not to mention the importance of those goals. 90th minute vs West Ham making it 3-3, going on to win in penalty shoot out.
Needing that extra goal against Olympiakos to go through the group stages of Champions League in 04, going on to win the competition.
Gerrard is the best midfielder in Premier Leauge!
i totally agree with the commentator
@cieren1995 LOL there are a few better than him. Don't get too excited.
wtf stewart downing was there !
