Vladimír Šmicer - Můj druhý život – Filípek Štěpán (2024)

The eternal smile, the nickname Šmíca or Štístko, successes in clubs and the national team. This is how everyone knows Vladimír Šmicer. However, after the end of his rich playing career, he began to realize that this 'second life' is often more complicated. Paradoxically, the most so when he tries to help Czech football... In the second, expanded edition of his book confession from the Sport newspaper's edition on the occasion of his fiftieth birthday, Šmicer reflects mainly on the last fifteen years: he opens the door to the dressing room of Slavia, with which he won two titles after returning from abroad, discusses his role as the national team's manager, recalls how he helped save the red and white club in the first league, how he was involved with Jiří Šimáně and Jaroslav Tvrdík at the start of its new era, and how he sees the current state of Slavia, but he also describes the fight for changes in football conditions after the fall of Roman Berbr or the search for a new national team coach. In addition, he exclusively invites readers on journeys in the service of Liverpool, gives a glimpse into his private life, and shares his passion for collecting jerseys.
