Vladimir Smicer attends the Lens-Slavia Prague match in the Champions League

This European evening has a special flavor for Vladimir Smicer. The former Czech international (80 caps, 27 goals) knows both clubs perfectly. After discovering the high level with Slavia Prague in the early 1990s, he then joined Lens, where he played from 1996 to 1999. His career subsequently took him to Liverpool then Bordeaux, before a return to his roots at Slavia between 2007 and 2009. Faithful to his history with the two teams, Smicer came to witness this display from the stands!

Beaten in their last two outings in Ligue 1, the Sang et Or are entering the heart of their season with a trip to Slavia Prague, this Thursday evening, for the first day of C1. With the ambition of a prestigious victory on the Czech pitch. A decryption can be found below.
