| Nedvěd pens Juve contract |
[May. 14th, 2008|12:33 pm] |
Another contract saga has ended at Juventus with official news Pavel Nedved has signed on until 2009.
“My decision was based on the seven extraordinary years here and my desire to again experience a European campaign with a team I am deeply tied to,” said the 2003 Ballon d’Or winner.
There were fears the Czech legend would be leaving Turin at the end of this season after renegotiations hit several stumbling blocks.
He would have been a free agent in the summer with interest from Japan or even possible retirement, but he put pen to paper on a new contract tying him to Juve until June 20, 2009.
However, this evening general manager Jean Claude Blanc made the announcement at the end of the training session.
“This is the best way to begin our plan to strengthen the squad next season,” said Blanc.
News from Channel 4 - similar articles are also at Pavel's Official Site and Juventus.com, which means that this is actually A FACT!!!
I am happier than words could ever express! |

NEDVED GETS NEW DEAL
Juventus veteran Pavel Nedved is close to signing a new deal with the Turin giants according to reports in Italy.
The midfielder's agent Mino Raiola has reportedly met with the Bianconeri directors at Corso Galileo Ferraris to iron out a one-year extension to his current deal.
The new arrangement would keep the Czech legend at Juventus until June 2009, earning £2.8m for his services next season.
Nedved, who was awarded the Ballon d'Or in 2003, had been expected to retire after a couple of frustrating seasons in Italy.
The former Lazio star has been with La Vecchia Signora since 2001, making 208 appearances and winning, amongst other things, two Scudetti and the Serie B crown.
Juventus have been eager to tie down their veteran stars in recent months, also lengthening the contracts of both Alessandro Del Piero and Gianluigi Buffon.
The Bianconeri have also been boosted by the return from injury of Momo Sissoko, Giorgio Chiellini and Jonathan Zebina ahead of this week's match with Nedved's former employers Lazio.

I've been a hopeless mod lately, and haven't updated this community for ages and ages. I'm very sorry about the lack of updates. I'll try to fix that now, though, and try to update at least sort of regularly from now on.
So, I guess we are in need of a little picspam? Therefore, I decided to repost something I did at my journal recently. So, those of you who are on my flist will have seen this before, but I hope there will be new stuff in here for everyone else.
Enjoy!
( Pavel Nedvĕd is Czech L♥VE - didn't you know yet? ) |

| Pavel's birthday |
[Aug. 30th, 2007|06:01 pm] |
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAVEL!!!
Well - not that he'll ever read this, but in my fangirl-mind, it doesn't matter. The important thing is just that we should have a birthday post for him here. And of course, it doesn't hurt that the picture above is one of the cutest ones of him ever. Honestly - that pic made me squee like mad...
How cute can he get?!
Oh, and if you want to send him your greetings, too, you can do so here, just so you know.
By the way, there is a special with him on Juventus Channel today, so if any of you have access to it, it would be very nice if you could record it and share it with us here...but it's probably just one of my insane dreams that anyone here would have access to Juve Channel? |

I just came across this picture in my Pavel pictures folder, and I thought it might be interesting for you, too. I always think it feels kind of strange to look at "old" pictures of him, because he looked so different back then. I would say he is one of those people who actually looks a thousand times better now than he did ten years ago...
( Or what do you think? ) |

| Pavel's interview |
[Jun. 12th, 2007|06:11 pm] |
So, there is a new interview at Pavel's website. If anyone here can actually read Czech, it might be better and more interesting for you to read the interview there. But for everyone else - this is my attempt at a translation. A warning first, though - my Czech is not that great, so I may not have everything down totally right. I hope I have at least the main point of things, though.
Also, I hope you'll enjoy!
Pavel, how valuable was the Serie B title, when compared to winning the scudetto?
I think it was very valuable. Of course, we don't have such a strong team as we had last year, but we showed good character.
How did you celebrate the goodbye with Serie B?
I can say that we almost didn't celebrate at all. Promotion was just compulsory for us.
Which positive and negative moments or experiences do you remember from this season?
The positive was the decent level of the teams in Serie B. The negative was that bad stadiums and bad quality of some fields.
The squad of the Old Lady changed very much before this season. Many stars left the club, and were replaced by less famous (less sharp?) players. How did the cooperation between the younger and the more experienced players work?
Perfectly. This is actually the main reason for our success.
Everyone who saw you play in the Serie B knows that you played with the same ferocity as always. You did not have any problems with the motivation while playing in the second league?
Football is still always football. Without motivation one cannot play, and I especially don't like losing. (??? I think this is what he says, but I'm not 100% sure).
Did Juventus change much compared to last year?
It's an entirely different team than it was last year. We were one of the best teams in Europe, but unfortunately, we're not anymore.
There are a lot of speculation about the new signings for the next season. Could you name someone you would have liked to see playing in the Juve shirt?
I don't want to say any names. Everything depends on the financial capacity of Juventus. We'll see who they can get, according to that (??? something like this, at least)
How do you adapt to playing at the highest level again?
Actually, it won't be easy. Serie A is a quality league. We'll see how we'll be able to cope with it.
What are your ambitions for the next season? As in, how fast and how much will Juventus be able to compete?
I don't know. That is something that will have to wait, and we'll see. At the present time, we'd be at the middle of the table.
(After this, there is one question I don't understand. I'm sorry.)
How do you plan to spend your holidays?
Like always...At home for some time, and then at the sea.
Okay - I just love him.
Do you agree with me? |

So, I've been bad at updating the picture of the "day" for a while now, so I should try to fix that. But more importantly, I can tell you that Juve has now secured the Serie B title, even with two games left to play. Of course, this also means we'll see them in Serie A again next year, so it's great news!
If only Pavel decides to play on for one more year, we might get to see him play more often than we did this year!
That's the important news, in very few sentences :)
As for the picture of today, it's apparently from the presentation of some sportswear last year. Enjoy!
( Pavel knows exactly how to look straight into the camera. I'm not sure he planned to make the fangirls swoon at the same time, though. ) |

Hello everyone, I'm new to this community and this is my first post.
It's a little tribute to two of my favorite players and the way they seem to flirt so much :P

Do you even recognize him here?
I must admit that I don't...not if I didn't know it was him. There's something about that smile, though. But I still think he is about a million times more gorgeous now.
( What do you think? ) |

As you may have heard already, Juve won 3:1 against Genoa yesterday! That's great, right? Even more great is the fact that Pavel scored the first goal! I also found a videoclip of the goal at Youtube, in case you're interested in that!
But, this was supposed to be a "Picture of the day" post, so of course I have to give you a picture from yesterday's game. Hope you'll like it!
( Such a lovely hug ) |

I've had a little break with posting pictures of the day. Sorry about that. I guess I should do something about that now, though.
In fact, I don't know much about this picture at all. I just found it somewhere on the net. I suppose it's not quite new, because Pavel doesn't look exactly like this anymore. But I think it's still a lovely picture.
( Do you agree with me? ) |

Just another picture. To be honest, I wanted to post this one already yesterday, because I found that and the one from yesterday almost at the same time, and I couldn't make up my mind about which one to post first. But I guess it's nice to post the sweet and innocent one first.
This one is not quite that innocent - even if he is supposed to be modeling for Steilmann clothes. Well, perhaps that's just me and my dirty mind, but I think the way he is posing here makes him look everything BUT innocent. And I love that very much.
( Hope you do, too! ) |

Just another, beautiful picture. This is apparently from some Chinese magazine, but I don't know much about the picture other than that. Either way, Pavel looks very cute - sweet, innocent and lovely.

Don't you agree? I hope so! |

| Icons |
[Mar. 27th, 2007|05:53 pm] |
I just made some icons. So, hope you'll enjoy, even though it's not many.
There is some Czech/Italian text on some of them, so I'll give you the translations, just for fun.
"Princ mých snů" - "Prince of my dreams"
"Vždy s úsměvem" - "Always with a smile"
"Juve nel cuore" - "Juve in the heart" (I think this should be correct?)
So - the icons are:
[4] Pavel Nedvěd
[1] Juventus
( Here you go! )
Feel free to take them if you like them, but please credit to zimena. Okay? |

If you look at the topic of this post, you might already have realized that I wanted to try something new. Even though I cannot promise to update the community with a new Pavel-pic every day, I'll try to do it at least quite often. Also, if you have pictures to share, that would be great, too!
Just to make it easier to find these posts, I'm creating a separate tag called "potd" (yes, an acronym for "picture of the day", because the phrase itself is too long to be convenient as a tag name). That way, you can always find the latest post of this kind. If you want to post a picture of the day, it's nice if you number the post, too - like I did in the topic of this one. That way, we'll always know how many POTD-posts we have.
So - have fun, and please don't hesitate to post pictures if you have some!

Good-looking, isn't he?! |

| Pavel's press conference |
[Mar. 18th, 2007|02:27 pm] |
It seems I have been quite bad at updating this community with news lately. I'm sorry about that, but I hope you have been keeping up with the latest Juve and Pavel news anyway? If not, I can tell you that the Serie B table is still a pleasant read for us, because Juve are still on top, after winning their last game 1:0 against Treviso last tuesday. The next game will be against Triestina tomorrow, on March 19th at 9pm Italian time.
As for something more interesting - yesterday, there was a press conference with Pavel! A few hours after the press conference, an article appeared on juventus.com, and I'm just going to repost the article here, since it's so full of lovely quotes and everything.
( Nedved: A great job done )
Also - this picture is very adorable - or at least I think so. Do you agree ;-) |
