Předposlední přání - Humorný román z fotbalového prostředí – Procházka Aleš (2021)

In Boubelice, a quite ordinary Czech village, a football club disappeared years ago, and now the local pub, which is struggling near the dilapidated pitch, faces the same fate. This is a heavy burden for the local retiree Lebeda. When his best friend, with whom he used to work and chat in his carpentry workshop, passes away, his patience runs out and he loses his will to live. He decides to sell the little house where he lives with his daughter, son-in-law, and grandson, and retreat to a senior home. Lebeda's completely unexpected idea shocks and frightens the young ones. For the son-in-law, it gradually becomes an urgent challenge to attempt the impossible. His stubborn effort to find kindred spirits around him and awaken their interest in the well-being of the slumbering village is accompanied by a series of blunders, comical situations, mistakes, partial victories, and defeats. However, he ultimately reaches a successful conclusion. This book aims to bring a smile to the reader's face, but it also wants to remind us that village football deserves its place in the sun.
