Mlada Boleslav say no — this time

One of our own: Jakub Brabec joins the Mlada Boleslav first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Jakub Brabec is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

In brief
