Visiting Arsenal - how it is going in such a club

We began with the Emirates Stadium tour on Friday. „It was incredible experience I sat on Aubameyanga´s place in the dressing room“ says Matěj Polcar, the goalkeeper of SK Kladno, who became one of the best strikers in Premier League for a while.

Training centre from another world

On the second day we visited the Training centre of Arsenal FC. It is almost impossible to get there but thanks to Petr Čech we got the permission. „The training centre is a dream of every football player, it is like from another world“ evaluated Ondřej Kvapil, who plays for Valašské Meziříčí.

Eleven training playgrounds, one-football-playground big gym, room for analysing matches, one special room only for players´s boots. There was really everything.

After the tour we had a training with Jason Mason in Arsenal Hub. Jason Mason is one of the Arsenal youth coaches. „The training was dynamic and I really enjoyed it“ said Vojta Heřman.

Premier League – really great spectacle

On the third day we started by short sightseeing in London and then the most thrilling experience was to come. The highlight of the whole trip – the match between Arsenal FC and Manchester City.  

The mood was excellent, all the Arsenal fans were tuned for the victory under the lead of the new coach Unai Emery. We saw Petr Čech playing the whole match. He saved his team many times but unfortunately it was not enough. The match ended with a loss of Arsenal FC but we really enjoyed the atmosphere among 60 thousands of cheering fans.  

Of course we did not forgot to buy some souvenirs in the biggest Fanshop we have ever seen.

The final evaluation by Tadeáš Slovák, the player of Zbrojovka Brno: "It is so great that thanks to Petr we could experienced this trip. We all hope there will be a chance to come here next year for other participants of The Football Academy.”
