Attacking midfielder with a deadly left foot and dangerous from set pieces. Witness the goal against Germany in the final warm-up match before Euro 2000 - he had only been on the pitch for a matter of seconds when he struck.
Can capitalise on the smallest amount of space to create an opening.
Back home, his stock is so high he was voted Czech player of the Year in 1999. He's made more than a few friends on Merseyside, too, with his performances for Liverpool.
Missed the first two games through suspension and was only left with the wooden spoon game against Denmark. A disappointment he could do nothing about.
