Pavel Nedvěd (pronounced Cs-Pavel Nedved.ogg [ˈpavɛl ˈnɛdvjɛt] (help·info); born August 30, 1972 in Cheb) is a former Czech football midfielder. He was the recipient of the prestigious Ballon d'Or in 2003.

[edit] Club career

Nedvěd got his international breakthrough when he was part of the Czech national team which went to the final of Euro 96, where they lost to Germany. Nedvěd's performance did not go unnoticed; despite having a verbal agreement with PSV, Nedvěd decided to move from Sparta Prague to SS Lazio in the Serie A in 1996.

[edit] Lazio

At Lazio, Nedvěd won the Coppa Italia in 1997-98, and the last international Cup Winners' Cup tournament in 1999 against RCD Mallorca, where he scored the last ever goal of the tournament in a 2-1 win for Lazio.

[edit] Juventus

Nedvěd eventually moved to Juventus in 2001 for a fee of €41 million as a replacement for Zinédine Zidane, who had transferred to Spain's Real Madrid the same summer. He proved to be one of the few midfielders capable of assuming the playmaking role of his French predecessor. Nedved played frequently in Juventus' Scudetto-winning teams of 2001-02, 2002-03, 2004-05, and 2005-06.

Nedvěd was available in leading Juventus into the 2003 Champions League final against Milan, but he was forced to sit out the final because of accumulation of yellow cards, after being booked in the semifinal for tackling Real Madrid midfielder Steve McManaman. At the end of the year, he won the European Footballer of the Year award.

Following the 2005-06 season, and Juventus's relegation from Serie A due to the Calciopoli scandal, the future of Pavel Nedvěd as a Juventus player was heavily discussed. Nedvěd dispelled those rumors by vowing to return to Juventus in order to return the club to Serie A. However, the season was somewhat tumultuous for the Czech international. With only a one-year contract, he hinted he might retire from football altogether at the end of the season. He repeated this threat after a 5-game ban stemming from a red card on December 1. Nedvěd persisted, and Juventus won the Serie B title, securing promotion to Serie A.

During the 2007-08 season, Nedvěd played frequently for the Bianconeri, providing contributions while being Juve's first-choice left winger. However, he has not been free from controversy. Nedvěd came under negative spotlight recently for his tackle on Internazionale midfielder Luís Figo, which resulted in a broken fibula for the Portuguese player.[1]

Nedvěd had a fair season during Juve's return, but only scored twice. During Serie A 2007-08, Nedvěd acquired a slight concussion that kept him off of the pitch for about a month. He was linked with a move to Japanese side Jubilo Iwata during the 2008-09 summer transfer window, but the rumours were quickly scotched when Pavel committed his future to Juventus for another year after signing a new one year contract extension which will expire in June 2009.

[edit] 2008-09 season

Nedvěd scored Juventus's first league goal of the 2008-09 season in a 1-1 away draw with Fiorentina. He also netted twice against Bologna FC (2-1) in a match he captained Juve. On 26 February 2009, Nedvěd announced that he would retire at the end of 2008–09 season.[2]. On 10 March 2009, Nedved was substituted due to injury in the first half of the UEFA Champions League 2nd round game against Chelsea, which due to his impending retirement, turned out to be his last European game for Juventus (who lost 3-2 on aggregate).

[edit] Personal life

Nedved married his girlfriend Ivana when he was 21, and the couple have two children who carry their same names: Ivana and Pavel. He holds a qualified surveyor diploma. He was contracted to Uhlsport, but changed his sportswear favourite to Adidas.
