Milan Baroš (Czech pronunciation: [ˈmɪlan ˈbaroʃ]; born 28 October 1981) is a Czech football striker who currently plays for Mladá Boleslav in the Czech First League.

In 2005, he was part of the Liverpool team which won the UEFA Champions League. He went on to win Ligue 1 with Lyon in 2007, the FA Cup with Portsmouth in 2008 and the Süper Lig with Galatasaray in 2012. He has also had spells with Baník Ostrava, where he started his career, and English club Aston Villa.

Born in Valašské Meziříčí, Baroš represented the Czech Republic international team in 93 matches, scoring on 41 occasions. He won the Golden Boot as top scorer of the Euro 2004 tournament, where his nation reached the semi-finals. He went on to play in three more major international tournaments. His 41 goals for the Czech Republic is second behind only Jan Koller.

Personal life

Baroš was born in the Czech town of Valašské Meziříčí.[2] He grew up in the village of Vigantice.[3] In 2009 he married Tereza Franková,[4] who he started dating in 2005.[5] Their son Patrik was born on 1 September 2009.[6]

On 1 November 2007, Baroš was arrested in France while driving at 271 km/h (168 mph) in his black Ferrari F430, on a freeway limited to 130 km/h (81 mph). Stopped by French police between Lyon and Geneva in the region of Ain, the local authorities said the radar reading of 271 km/h was the fastest speed ever recorded in the region, surpassing the previous mark of 248 km/h (154 mph) set by a motorcyclist in 2000. As a result, Baroš had his car and licence confiscated and had to return to Lyon in a taxi.[7]

Club career

Early career

As a boy, Baroš played for youth clubs in Vigantice and Rožnov pod Radhoštěm before joining the youth team of Baník Ostrava at the age of 12.[8] In 1998 he made his debut for the club in the Czech First League, the top division of Czech football, becoming a regular over the next few seasons.[9] In 2000, he won the Talent of the Year award at the Czech Footballer of the Year awards.[10] He was described by the Czech News Agency in the 2000–01 season as "perhaps the biggest star of the [Czech] football league".[11] He played his last game for the club on 2 December 2001, in a 1–0 loss at Viktoria Žižkov.[12] During his time in Ostrava, he scored 23 league goals in 76 appearances.[12]

Liverpool

Baroš joined Liverpool in 2002 in a transfer worth £3.2 million,[13] although he did not move straight away due to delays in obtaining a work permit for him.[14] He made his club debut in a UEFA Champions League tie away to Barcelona on 13 March;[15] he played last 16 minutes in place of Emile Heskey as the match finished goalless.[16] It was his only appearance of the 2001–02 season.[15]

In the 2002–03 season, Baroš scored twice on his Premiership debut away to Bolton Wanderers on 14 September 2002, as Liverpool won 3–2 away.[17] Baroš was a substitute in the 2003 Football League Cup Final against Manchester United. He entered the game in the second half, but did not play to the end of the game, being substituted himself a minute before the end of the game.[2] Liverpool won the game 2–0 to win the cup, the first major trophy of Baroš' career.[2] Towards the end of the season, he scored twice in a 6–0 away win over already-relegated West Bromwich Albion in April 2003.[18] He ended his first season in the Premiership with 12 goals for the club.

Baroš broke his ankle in a September 2003 match against Blackburn Rovers, a match which also saw team-mate Jamie Carragher sustain a broken leg.[19] Baroš subsequently missed five months of football and scored just two goals in the 2003–04 season.[20] His first goal came in a league match against Leeds United in February 2004,[21] while his other goal was in March in a 1–1 Champions League draw against Marseille.[22] Baroš would later claim that had manager Gérard Houllier stayed at the club after the summer of 2004, he would have put in a transfer request.[20] As it was, Houllier left the club and was replaced by Rafael Benítez.[23]

Baroš entered the 2004–05 season having been the top goalscorer in the summer's Euro 2004[24] tournament. With Michael Owen and Emile Heskey having been sold and new signing Djibril Cissé out with a long-term injury, Baroš was now Liverpool's only senior striker.[24] Despite being the club's joint top scorer with 13 goals, including a hat-trick against Crystal Palace,[25] Spaniard Fernando Morientes was preferred to Baroš in Liverpool's starting lineup for the League Cup Final, a match they lost to Chelsea.[26] However, he did start the 2005 Champions League Final, being substituted after 85 minutes as the game finished 3–3 in normal time.[27] Liverpool went on to win the match on penalties. Baroš reportedly dropped the trophy during the team's celebration, leaving a dent, but Liverpool decided not to mend it because it "added to the character" of the trophy.[28] He finished the season with 13 goals, becoming the joint-top scorer for the club.[29] Baroš also received his first red card during the campaign, being sent off for a high challenge on Everton's Alan Stubbs in the Merseyside derby on 20 March.[30]

In June 2005, former manager Gérard Houllier, then with French club Lyon, made an approach to sign Baroš. The player rejected the approach,[31] but only made two substitute appearances for Liverpool in the 2005–06 season before leaving the club. He left Liverpool with league figures of 19 goals in 68 appearances.[32]

Aston Villa

Baroš moved to Premiership side Aston Villa for a fee of £6.5 million in August 2005, signing a four-year contract.[29] He was given the number 10 shirt.[33] Just ten minutes into his Aston Villa debut, he scored the only goal in his new team's league victory over Blackburn.[34] He played a crucial role in Villa's League Cup second round victory against Wycombe Wanderers in September.[35] With Villa trailing 3–1 at half time, Baroš scored shortly after the beginning of the second half and won a penalty, which Gareth Barry converted.[35] He also provided the cross for Barry's second goal of the game as Villa scored seven goals in the second half, resulting in a final score of 8–3, their biggest win in over 40 years.[35] He set up the first Aston Villa goal in a November match against Sunderland in dubious circumstances; back-heeling the ball, which "looked to have gone out of play" to Aaron Hughes.[36] Hughes' pass found Kevin Phillips, who opened the scoring against his old club. He later scored a goal himself in the same game, which ended 3–1 to Villa.[36]

In the Boxing Day match against Everton, Baroš was involved thoroughly in the proceedings. He opened the scoring in the 35th minute, having handled the ball immediately beforehand.[37] This was not punished and the referee awarded a goal.[37] Baroš subsequently celebrated in front of the travelling Everton fans, making a gesture as if to listen to them.[38] A number of missiles from the crowd were subsequently thrown in Baroš' direction.[38] The goal was just his third in what Glenn Moore of The Independent described as "an indifferent season" for Baroš.[39] He went on to score his second goal of the game, and Villa's fourth, earning him man of the match honours.[39] Baroš scored twice in January 2006's fourth round FA Cup win against Port Vale,[40] and added another in the following round's 1–1 draw with Manchester City.[41] Late in the season, he scored two goals in the Second City derby against Birmingham City at Villa Park, marking his 11th and 12th goals of the season and winning another man of the match award.[42][43] He would score no further goals that season.

Baroš failed to score at the start of the 2006–07 season, leading new manager Martin O'Neill to challenge him in October to prove himself before the January transfer window.[44] He subsequently scored his first goal of the season in December 2006, eight months since scoring his last one, with a close-range equaliser against Sheffield United in a 2–2 draw.[45] Although he also managed to score for Aston Villa in a 2–1 loss to Manchester United in the FA Cup,[46] he left the club in January 2007, having scored just once in 17 league matches that season.[47]

Lyon

On 22 January 2007, Baroš signed with French side Lyon, signing a three-and-a-half year contract and reuniting with former manager Gérard Houllier from his time at Liverpool.[48] The deal swapped Baroš with Lyon striker John Carew, who joined Aston Villa on a three-and-a-half-year deal.[49] Just two days after joining the club, he made his Lyon debut in a league match against Bordeaux. He appeared as a substitute, as league leaders Lyon lost 2–1 for their first home defeat of the season.[50] Baroš took part in that year's Champions League, featuring as a substitute in a 0–0 draw in Rome against Roma.[51] He played no further part in that season's Champions League campaign, as he remained on the bench in the return leg as Lyon were eliminated.[52]

In May 2007, Baroš was accused of making a racist gesture towards his Cameroonian opponent Stéphane Mbia during Lyon's match against Rennes on 18 April.[53] After having been fouled by Mbia several times, Baroš held his nose in front of Mbia and waved his hand as if to waft away an unpleasant smell.[53] In the ensuing controversy, Baroš insisted that his gesture was not intended to be racist in any way, and he was only trying to tell Mbia to get out of his face and leave him alone.[53] Baroš and Mbia were brought before an official disciplinary hearing of the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP), which ruled that Baroš was innocent of racist behaviour, but he was nevertheless suspended for the remaining three games of the season for unsportsmanlike conduct.[53] The end of the season saw Lyon win the league title, but nonetheless manager Houllier left the club.[54]

Baroš scored in Lyon's opening game of the 2007–08 season as his club won 2–0 against Auxerre.[55] However, he played significantly less under new manager Alain Perrin, making just six starts and scoring a total of three league goals.[56] In mid-November, Baroš revealed a break down in his relationship with Perrin and hinted at a move to another club.[57]

Portsmouth

Baroš joined Premier League side Portsmouth on loan from Lyon in January 2008 until the end of the season, with the option of making the move permanent at the end of the loan.[56] Baroš played a significant role in the club winning the 2008 FA Cup. He won Portsmouth's match-winning penalty kick in the quarter-final at Manchester United and assisted Nwankwo Kanu's deciding goal in the semi final match against West Bromwich Albion with a suspected handball that went unnoticed by both the referee and his assistant.[58][59] The final match of Baroš' loan spell was the 2008 FA Cup Final victory over Cardiff City at Wembley Stadium, where he appeared as an 87th-minute substitute for Kanu.[60] By the end of the season, Baroš had played 16 matches for Portsmouth, including seven as a substitute, although he failed to score.[60] He was one of a number of Portsmouth players to be absent at the team parade after the club won the FA Cup, leading to speculation he could have played his last game for the club.[61] At the end of the season, Baroš returned to Lyon.[62]

Galatasaray

Baroš playing for Galatasaray in 2011

In August 2008, Baroš joined Turkish champions Galatasaray from Lyon for a fee of €4.7 million.[62][63] He made his first appearance against Kayserispor, playing the last 15 minutes. Baroš scored his first two goals for the club in the UEFA Cup first round, first leg game against Bellinzona.[64] Three days later, in his first league start, he once again scored two goals against Kocaelispor, with Galatasaray going on to win the match 4–1.[65] On 21 December 2008, Baroš scored a hat-trick in the 4–2 Süper Lig derby win against Beşiktaş, converting two penalties and scoring one from open play.[66] He scored another hat-trick later in the season against Hacettepe.[67] He finished the 2008–09 season as the Süper Lig top scorer with 20 goals.[68]

Baroš scored his first goal of the 2009–10 season in his third league game when he scored twice in a 4–1 win against Kayserispor.[69] His next two goals came on 13 September where Galatasaray played rivals Beşiktaş. Galatasaray won the match 3–0, with Baroš scoring his third and fourth goals of the season.[70] He scored a total of five times in ten matches before breaking his left foot in two places after a tackle by Emre Belözoğlu in the Fenerbahçe–Galatasaray derby on 25 October 2009.[71] He returned to action four and a half months later on 14 March 2010 for a game against Ankaragücü, scoring a goal on his comeback.[72] During the season, he scored his third hat-trick for the club in a match against Diyarbakirspor.[67] He finished the season with league figures of 11 goals in 17 matches.[73]

In August 2010, a week before the start of the 2010–11 Süper Lig, he extended his contract with Galatasaray for two seasons, keeping him contracted to the club until the end of the 2012–13 season.[73] Although he had been injured during pre-season training,[73] Baroš appeared as a substitute in his club's UEFA Europa League qualification match against Karpaty Lviv, scoring twice as Galatasaray returned from 2–0 down to draw the match.[74] At the end of September, he scored his fourth hat-trick for the club against Istanbul Büyükşehir Belediyespor, although he failed to complete the game due to an injury.[67] He scored two more goals in a 4–2 loss against Ankaragücü on 17 October, but was injured again.[75] Baroš was suspended for three matches in March 2011 after insulting referee Fırat Aydınus in a match against Beşiktaş.[76] By the end of the season, Baroš had appeared in 17 league games and scored 9 goals.[77]

Galatasaray started the 2011–12 season well and were top of the league in January, having won eight consecutive league matches.[78] Baroš did not start a match for his club for four weeks,[79] but scored an important goal against Samsunspor in the eighth match of the streak.[78] The club won a ninth-straight game, with Baroš scoring his seventh goal of the season, in the 5–1 win against Kardemir Karabükspor, although he left the game with an injury.[80] He returned from injury in a February match against Antalyaspor, coming on as a substitute, but was on the field of play just 15 minutes before receiving a red card.[81] His dismissal resulted in a three-match suspension.[82] Baroš scored his last goal for the club in April 2012 in the last match of the regular season against Manisaspor.[83]

In 2012, Baroš was told by then-coach Fatih Terim that he would not play for the club any more.[84] He played no competitive football after Euro 2012 and finally left the club in February 2013.[12]

Return to Baník Ostrava

On 18 February 2013, Czech club Baník Ostrava announced that Baroš had rejoined the club where he started his career, signing a one-and-a-half-year contract.[85] Under the terms of the contract, his salary was donated to support the youth club of the team.[12] Having not played a competitive match since 21 June of the previous year,[12] he played his first match of the season on 23 February, coming on as a substitute in the 0–0 home draw with Dynamo České Budějovice.[86] He scored a hat-trick in Ostrava's 3–0 league victory against Hradec Králové on 9 March 2013, his first hat-trick in the top flight of Czech football.[87]

Antalyaspor

On 16 July 2013, Baroš agreed a one-year contract with Turkish club Antalyaspor.[88] He made his club debut in August, appearing as a substitute in a 0–0 Süper Lig draw against Kayseri Erciyesspor.[89] He scored his first goal for Antalyaspor against Bursaspor in August, then his second against Rizespor in October.[90] He suffered damage to his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in December 2013, ruling him out of action for the rest of the season. Baroš returned to the Czech Republic for treatment in January 2014.[91]

Third spell at Baník Ostrava and Mladá Boleslav

24 September 2014 saw Baroš re-join Ostrava; he signed a contract until the end of the 2014–15 season.[92] Following the end of the 2014–15 season, Baroš left Ostrava and signed a two-year contract with Mladá Boleslav.[93]

International career

Baroš started representing his county in 1997, at under-15 level.[9] Over the next three years he moved up to play at higher age groups, specifically under-16, 17 and 18.[9] Baroš played in the 2000 Olympic tournament, making three appearances for the team.[9] He took part in two other major tournaments at junior level: the 2000 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship, at which the Czech Republic placed second, and the 2002 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship, which the Czech Republic won.[9]

Baroš made his first appearance for the senior national side on 25 April 2001 in a friendly match against Belgium,[94] scoring on his debut.[95] Baroš and national teammate Pavel Nedvěd were both shown the red card in a November 2001 qualification match for the following year's World Cup, as the Czech Republic were eliminated by Belgium.[96]

At UEFA Euro 2004, Baroš scored the first goal for the Czech Republic in their first game of the tournament, a come-from-behind 2–1 victory over Latvia.[97] With the goal he became the youngest goalscorer at the European Championships for the Czech Republic.[97] His second goal of the tournament came against the Netherlands; the Dutch team had taken a two-goal lead over the Czechs before Jan Koller scored from a Baroš pass.[98] Baroš then scored before Vladimír Šmicer completed the scoring, as the Czechs won the game 3–2.[98] The third group match saw the Czech Republic make nine changes to their starting lineup, having already qualified for the quarter finals.[99] Baroš appeared as a substitute and scored the winning goal, as opponents Germany failed to advance to the next stage of the tournament.[99] Baroš added two goals in two minutes of the second half of the Czechs' quarter-final win over Denmark,[100] and finished as the tournament's Golden Boot winner with five goals.[101]

In qualification for the 2006 World Cup, Baroš scored five goals for his country, including four in consecutive matches in 2005.[102] An injury to his foot, picked up in a match on 3 June, kept him out of 2006 FIFA World Cup games against the United States and Ghana.[103] He did appear in the Czechs' final group game against Italy,[104] but appeared unfit and left the game after 64 minutes to be replaced by David Jarolím.[105][106]

In the run up to UEFA Euro 2008, Baroš had not scored an international goal since March 2007.[32] He started the Czech Republic's second group game against Portugal, but Portugal won 3–1 and Baroš failed to score.[32] Jan Koller was preferred to Baroš in the starting lineup for the next match, against Turkey.[107] Despite neither playing in the match nor even being on the pitch, Baroš suffered the indignity of receiving a yellow card during stoppage time at the end of the match.[107]

Baroš was banned indefinitely from playing for his national side in April 2009 after a breach of discipline, having attended a bar late at night.[108] However, he was recalled to the national side after the appointment of Ivan Hašek as head coach.[109] On 12 August 2009, he marked his return to international duty with a goal from the penalty spot in the 3–1 home win against Belgium in a friendly match.[110] The following month, Baroš scored a career high of four goals against San Marino, in a World Cup qualifier which the Czech Republic won 7–0.[111] In doing so, he became only the second player from the Czech Republic to score four goals in an international match.[111] He was selected as part of the squad for Euro 2012. After the tournament, during which he failed to score, Baroš announced his retirement from international football, having scored a total of 41 international goals in 93 matches.[112] His total of 41 international goals for his country is second only to strike partner Jan Koller, who holds the record with 55.[12]

Style of play

Baroš gained the nickname "the Ostravan Maradona" in his native Czech Republic due to perceived similarities with the Argentinian footballer of the same name.[113] He was noted particularly for being a quick player with good dribbling skill.[94]
