We cannot objectively separate the wheat from the chaff in Czech football. Here is a small comparison of the Czech Republic with the best – with France

For whom do we maintain an unparalleled, fearful and pressure-resistant pro-corruption environment, good only for uneducated coaches and money laundering? It’s strange that no one addresses this, it doesn’t bother agents or experts, and it doesn’t even bother the national team. So here is a little comparison of the Czech Republic with the best – France.

One of the answers why Czech football is getting worse and worse compared to the world and why not only we don’t take any trophies from international competitions for many years, but nowadays we almost don’t even get into those competitions anymore and drop out in far lesser qualifiers, this is the key and long-standing fact that the Czech football league does not in the slightest create a strategy or organisation of competitions for a healthy sporting competitive environment in which players could toughen up and separate themselves by comparing quality and also will.

On the contrary, the architecture of Czech football binds laziness, corruption and the potential for money laundering. Neither experts nor agents complain. The devastation of talent is the result.

There is no point in having a long discussion here; the consultancy 121 ELITE Sports has taken some basic information about the construction of the leagues in the best in Europe, seventy-million-man France, and compared it to one of the weakest, ten-million-man Czech Republic, and its competitive football setup, which has failed to develop or succeed for years, to support its claims.

We have verified that nowadays even the fourth French league N2 (France 4-National, or Championat National FFF N2), which is made up of four regional groups A, B, C and D, has an unnoticeably higher quality of play and better quality and more comprehensively equipped players than our top leagues. Why is this so?

A player in France has to work much harder on himself, maintain his lifestyle and fitness, discipline, dream of a professional career, coaches have to educate themselves diligently even in the seventh tier to keep anyone who wants to play top football, whereupon they often surpass even our footballers. The second to fourth French competition is then one big factory, but rather a workshop for world champions, but even in France a player needs luck to get into the “PRO”.
