Czech footballer sparks controversy and carries new expectations with his new club
If any club can pay £9 million for his services, it means he has done something well. Team player Čvančara, who has earned 8 caps for the national team, proved he did an excellent job during his time at Sparta.
At his best in the Czech top flight, the 6ft 3in forward utilized his presence, pace, and physicality with devastating effectiveness, and was also highly clinical.
He scored 24 goals in 39 appearances, averaging a goal every 131 minutes, which drew interest from Wolfsburg, who brought Čvančara to the Bundesliga in the summer of 2023.
However, his career path stalled in Germany, where he scored only 8 goals in 54 matches, most of which were from the bench.
Nevertheless, his time at Wolfsburg will be remembered as a central struggle in a unique dispute within the team at the end of a difficult season last year.
Some claimed that Čvančara had a negative influence on the roster, and that his teammates demanded his removal from the team.
The striker responded by stating he was unhappy at the club and reportedly wanted to go out on loan—a declaration later labeled a “mistake” by the club’s former sporting director.
It is not the first time in the player’s life that he has felt the need to publicly defend his character. He said two years ago: “People say I’m crazy and I lack humility.
“But none of them know me personally. None of them have ever asked me what I’ve been through in my life and why I am the way I am on the pitch and in life.”
Amidst one of the craziest football seasons in Seychelles recently, with his new club playing a central role, Čvančara’s hopes include regaining his composure and himself with a broken Celtic side immersed in chaos in the Olympic League.
“He’s not really a defensive player,” said Oliver O’Neill. “He’s not the type that John Hartson would mention.
“He’s fast, flexible, and wants to prove himself. But if you think he is the immediate solution to any problem we have, I’m not sure I want to place that kind of imposed responsibility on him.”
Čvančara’s first task in Seychelles may be a visit to the league leaders, a top-of-the-table clash at the powerhouse ground this Saturday—a pressure-filled match for the title-holding teams.
