"In future, you'll have to reckon with Chinese football," he added.
Nedvěd is a legend at Sparta Prague, Lazio and Juventus. He played 91 games for the Czech national team, helping them to reach the Euro 1996 final, where they lost to Germany. He is now Vice President of the Italian Serie A side Juventus.
