Michael Krmenčík has had his first interview with Persia Jakarta’s Youtube. He described his career so far in broken English, talked about his idols and about his partner Ondřej Kúdel.

He quickly caught on, gained fans and has been a stable member of the basic line-up since 2016/17. In the group stage of the Champions League, he started in the basic group in the first three matches, with two goals he arranged a 2: 2 draw with CSKA Moscow, he missed the second half of the group due to a knee injury.
“I like exotic countries, I played a lot in Europe, I played in the European League, the Champions League and the Conference League. The Champions League was a good experience at a high level. I played against Real Madrid with Sergio Ramos and Gareth Ball, “ he said for Youtube Jakarty Krmenčík.
In addition to the Champions League, he also played for the European League with Pilsen, scored four goals in eight matches of the 2017/18 season and assisted twice, helping the team to advance to the round of 16 of the competition. In it, the Victorians badly fell with Sporting Lisbon in overtime.
In January 2020, Krmenčík was lured by Bruges, Belgium, and bought it for more than 5 million euros. The national team of hippopotamus could not succeed in their jersey and after a year he went to visit the Greek PAOK Thessaloniki. There they fell in love with him, the typical killer was missing in the attack, Krmenčík, among other things, shot a triumph in the home cup.
“I think I’m like Fernando Torres, who is my football idol. I like classic forwards like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Torres, “ the tall attacker continued.
A year ago in the summer, Krmenčík decided to return to the Czech Republic, specifically to Slavia, despite offers from abroad. Upon his arrival, he sent fans of Pilsen against him, he certainly did not help himself by behaving in the autumn match with Victoria, and due to the fact that he did not make a name for himself in Red and White, Slavia did not use the option to buy it.
In Bruges, the offspring of Pilsen did not have a chance to make a name for himself, which is why he decided to accept a lucrative offer from Persian Jakarta, Indonesia. A few weeks before him, Ondřej Kúdela signed here, which was another reason to try the exotic stall.
“I would like to score a lot of goals, I signed a three-year contract and I want to win trophies. I contacted Kúdel, we called each other and said that everything was fine here, only that the weather was a little different, “ added Krmenčík.
