A Turk worse than a Turk? Former Czech football representative Milan Baroš (42) had a great time with Galatasaray supporters at the Spartan stadium.
Before the rematch of the European League playoff (4:1), Baroš did not hide much under the green coat that, as an Ostrava patriot, he does not love Sparta. All the more so when the away fans did not forget his time in the Turkish team from 2008 to 2013. »Bary« netted 61 goals for Galatasaray in 116 competitive matches, and is still the club’s top scorer in the European Cup number 2 (formerly the UEFA Cup). 12 years ago, he celebrated the league title with a frenetic audience.
Like Jackson
“A thousand people, Bengal lights, weaved me among the fans. I felt like Michael Jackson when he arrived somewhere,” Baroš once recalled with a smile the welcome in Istanbul. “I think people still like me there to this day,” added the author of 41 national team goals. And they will love Baroš for the »fist show« at Letná! Before kick-off, Milan gestured to the cauldron of visitors from Turkey, then waved. However, he saw a home promotion gala performance on the pitch, even if he silently wished Galatasaray. Maybe he will repeat something similar against Liverpool!
Ujfaluš was also a confectioner
Another former mainstay of the national team, Tomáš Ujfaluši (45), also smeared Turkish honey around the mouths of Galatasaray’s team before the duel at Letná. »Ujfi« celebrated the league triumph with Baroš in 2012, but also as a former Spartan now it was fifty-fifty. “I can’t lose,” he knew.
