Jiri Yaroshik - Czech in Russia

Jiri Yaroshik is a footballer who is familiar to many Russian football fans, especially fans of CSKA Moscow. Now he has already completed his career, so you can safely consider his career in general. Jiri Jaroszek played for many clubs in different countries, thereby collecting a sufficient number of trophies.

Carier start

Jiri Yaroshik did not immediately find himself in his first club - he changed several football schools in various Czech cities before he found himself in Prague's Sparta. Then the promising junior was 13 years old, and he gradually developed in the club, which offered him his first professional contract in 1996.

The first season for the young central defender was far from being the best way - he practically did not get a practice game, which was unprofitable for him and his club. Therefore, at the age of 20, Jiri Yaroshik went on lease to the club "Slovan", which was much less eminent than "Sparta", so he was given a play there. Football player spent two years in the club, for which he managed to play 39 matches.

He returned to Sparta as a ready-made football player and immediately began to receive the practice game, becoming the key player in the club. Being a player of Sparta, acting on loan, he was able to collect six league titles in seven years (the only time in 2002, the champion of "Sparta" selected the same "Slovan" in which his first years spent Jiri).

Transition to Russia

In the winter of 2003, the best club of Russia CSKA turned to Sparta with a transfer request - for Yaroshik was paid three million euros, and he signed a contract with the Moscow club. However, one can not say that he spent a lot of time there - only two years, during which he developed at an impressive pace, which led to the fact that in the winter of 2005, after 56 matches and 12 goals, many leading clubs in Europe interested in such a football player as Jiří Yaroshik. Photos of this defender were already in all sports magazines, so it is not surprising that in the winter of 2005 he was in one of the strongest clubs in England and Europe, "Chelsea". With CSKA Yaroshik managed to win one championship title, and also won in the Russian Super Cup.

Development in Britain

28-year-old defender, of course, wanted to play at the highest level, but in the "Chelsea" he had no place. Then the club was only bought by Roman Abramovich, so Chelsea could afford to pay 12 million for a player who was not particularly eager to use. As a result, six months later Yaroshik left for rent at Birmingham. There for a year he played in 24 games and scored five goals. Performances of the Czech in a club of a lower order did not convince the leadership of the London club, so Yaroshik was decided to get rid of. As a result, in 2006, the 29-year-old defender moved to the Scottish "Celtic", who paid him three and a half million euros - Chelsea on this player lost eight and a half million euros.

Sunset career

It became clear that Jiří's career came to an end - in Celtic he came out at the base and even played 33 games in a year and a half, but still was not as necessary as both sides would have liked. Therefore, in the winter of 2008, Yaroshik returned to where he was best able to play - to Russia. Naturally, the age defender was not interested in his former club CSKA, but one million euros for the player agreed to lay out "Wings of the Soviets." There, Yaroshik spent two years, becoming an important part of the team, but in the winter of 2010 he went to conquer Spain together with Real Madrid from Zaragoza.

As a result, in the summer of 2011, Yaroshik decided to return to his homeland in the Czech Republic, where he was gladly received by Sparta. There an experienced defender spent two more years before throwing himself a last challenge - in 2013, 36-year-old Yaroshik signed a two-year contract with the Spanish "Deportivo". But for the last clubs he could not win a single trophy, so the last of his conquests can be considered the title and the Scottish Cup in 2007 for Celtic.

Personal life

His wife Zlatou Irzhi found in Russia, when he spoke there. And the reason that he completed his football career in 2015 was the fact that they had a daughter. Jiri Yaroshik and his wife now want to spend more time together. And now the football career does not prevent a Czech from doing it. Jiri Yaroshik, whose wife is extremely happy that her husband can be with her all the time, has finally committed suicide and does not plan any activity in this sphere.
