Radek Bejbl

I have a soft spot for the understated, connoisseur's style of Czech football, and Radek Bejbl embodies it. A defensive midfielder from Nymburk, he anchored the midfield for the Czech side that reached the Euro 1996 final, a small nation that pushed mighty Germany to the brink in one of the tournament's great stories. Four seasons holding his own at Atlético Madrid proves the quality was real, not a one-off. He was never the flashy star, but teams collapse without the unglamorous runners who break up play and keep the engine turning. Now coaching, he strikes me as a true craftsman, and I admire that kind of player most.
