Catenaccio a la Drnovice or Journey to the Beginning of the Time of Economic Transformation

Overview

In the middle of the village of Drnovice, with a population of two thousand, near Vyškov in South Moravia, stands a football stadium for eight thousand spectators. It is a pyramid of a defunct football civilization, once ruled by famous names such as Karel Brückner and Radek Drulák. The rise and fall of the Drnovice football club is typical of Czech football, politics, and business in the 1990s—behind it lie not only beautiful goals, but also mysterious sponsors, corruption, and doping. Let's travel back to a time when even the highest-ranking government officials couldn't tell heating oil from gasoline, and when Czech footballers were playing for the European title.
