Sinisha Mykhailovych made a surprise for Zdenek Zeman

Despite the fact that he was fighting the disease, Mykhailovych left the hospital to surprise Zeman (age 75). Sinisha, who had never been trained by the Czech-born Italian coach, gave an emotional speech at the event in Rome.

“Zeman didn’t win trophies, but he actually won a lot more than those who did. He appreciated the young players, he always appreciated the show, made the fans happy.

He is one of the innovators of this sport, always bringing something new. When he came to Italy, he brought with him a special philosophy. We all started looking for ways to win matches. We used to think how not to lose” – Mykhailovych Sinyshaat the presentation of the book “Beauty is Priceless”.
