Milan Baroš
Encyclopedia
Milan Baroš (ˈmɪlan ˈbaroʃ) (born 28 October 1981) is a Czech
footballer who plays as a striker for Galatasaray
and the Czech national football team
.
In the 2008–09 season, Baroš scored 20 goals in Turkish Süper Lig, the highest total in the league. He was the winner of the Golden Boot at UEFA Euro 2004, where he scored five goals, and he has previously played for clubs including Liverpool
, Aston Villa
, and Olympique Lyonnais
.
. In 1998 he made his debut in the Gambrinus liga
, the top of Czech football, becoming a regular over the next few seasons. In 2000, he won the Talent of the Year award at the Czech Footballer of the Year
awards.
. It was his only appearance of the 2001–02 season. The following season, Baroš scored twice on his Premiership debut away to Bolton Wanderers
and ended the season with 12 goals for the club. This included a brace in a 6-0 away win over relegated West Bromwich Albion
on 26 April 2003.
For the 2003–04 season, Baroš was expected to feature more prominently but he broke his ankle in a match. He did not play again for six months and scored just two goals all season. Baroš would later claim that had manager Gérard Houllier
stayed at the club after the summer of 2004, he would have put in a transfer request. As it was, Houllier resigned and was replaced by Rafael Benítez
.
On returning from Euro 2004, where he had been the top goalscorer, Baroš hit his best form for his club early in the 2004–05 season
. With Michael Owen
and Emile Heskey
now sold and new signing Djibril Cissé
out with a long term injury, Baroš was now the club's senior striker. Despite being the club's joint top scorer with 13 goals, including a hat trick against Crystal Palace
, Baroš was surprisingly dropped for the Carling Cup final defeat to Chelsea
. However, he played an important role in Liverpool's run to the 2005 Champions League
, playing virtually all the in the competition as a lone striker as the club clinched their fifth title. Baroš reportedly dropped the trophy during the team's celebration, leaving a dent, but Liverpool decided not to mend it because it "added to the character" of the trophy.
In June 2005, Baroš' future at Liverpool looked bleak, with the player seemingly poised to leave Liverpool to rejoin former manager Gérard Houllier at Olympique Lyonnais
, who had expressed interest in bringing him to France. Baroš, however, rejected the move, saying that he wanted to prove himself at Liverpool. It was widely reported, however, that Liverpool would try to sell Baroš before the transfer window closed on 31 August. Adding fuel to these rumours was Liverpool's purchase of Peter Crouch
from Southampton
, along with the decision by manager Rafael Benítez not to play Baroš in any of Liverpool's Champions League
qualifying-round ties. By not playing Baroš, Benítez assured that Baroš would not be cup-tied
to Liverpool – cup-tied players are considerably less valuable – especially to teams that could reasonably afford the transfer fee that Liverpool would likely require for Baroš. Indeed, two clubs that had already qualified for the group phase, Lyon and Schalke 04
, strongly pursued Baroš, but he expressed a desire to stay in the Premiership or to move to Spain.
He played as a substitute in the first two games of Liverpool's 2005–06 season, but they were his last for the club.
for a fee of £
6.5 million in August 2005, signing a four year contract. He was given the number 10 shirt. Just ten minutes into his Aston Villa debut, he scored the only goal in his new team's victory over Blackburn Rovers
. He finished the season with 8 goals in 25 appearances. He also scored three goals in as many games in the FA Cup
that season, as well as one goal from two League Cup
appearances, but he never really won over the fans due to his perceived lack of effort on the playing field.
The following season proved to be difficult for Baroš. He began the season as first-choice striker under Martin O'Neill
and played alongside Juan Pablo Ángel
, but he soon got injured and lost his to Luke Moore
and the emerging Gabriel Agbonlahor
. Boss Martin O'Neill challenged Baroš to prove himself before the January transfer window
. He subsequently opened his account for the season on 11 December with a close range equalizer against Sheffield United
in a 2–2 draw. This did not prove good enough and he was soon dropped from the squad altogether and was given few opportunities following that. In the January transfer window
, Baroš left the club. Following his final goal for Aston Villa in a 2–1 loss to Manchester United
in the FA Cup
, he was sold to Lyon in a part exchange deal for John Carew
.
He finished his Aston Villa career with 14 goals from 51 appearances.
, reuniting with former manager Gérard Houllier
from his time at Liverpool. The deal swapped Baroš with Lyon striker John Carew
, who joined Aston Villa on a three-and-an-half-year deal. On 24 January 2007, he made his Lyon Ligue 1
debut against Bordeaux
.
On 18 April 2007, during Lyon's match against Rennes, Baroš was accused of making a racist gesture towards his Cameroon
ian opponent, Stéphane Mbia
. After having been fouled by Mbia several times, Baroš held his nose in front of Mbia and waved his hand as if to waft away an unpleasant smell. In the ensuing controversy, Baroš insisted that his gesture was not intended to be racist in any way, and he was only trying to tell Mbia to get out of his face and leave him alone. On 4 May, Baroš and Mbia were brought before an official disciplinary hearing of the LFP
. The jury ruled that Baroš was innocent of racist behavior, but he was nevertheless suspended for the remainder of the season for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Following the departure of Gérard Houllier
, Baroš played significantly less under new manager Alain Perrin in the 2007–08 season. On 1 November, Baroš was arrested in France while driving at 271 km/h in his black Ferrari F430
, on a freeway limited to 130 km/h. Stopped by French Police between Lyon and Geneva
in the region of Ain
, the local authorities said the radar reading of 271 km/h (168.4 mph) was the fastest speed ever recorded in the region, beating the 248 km/h (154 mph) set by a motorcyclist in 2000. Allegedly, Baroš claimed to the police that the reason he was going so fast was that he "wanted to hear what a Ferrari sounded like at 200km/h." As a result, Baroš had his car and licence confiscated and had to take a taxi back to Lyon. In the awaiting court case, his drivers licence may be suspended for up to three years and he will have to pay a significant fine.
. He won Portsmouth's match-winning penalty kick in the quarter-final at Manchester United
and assisted Nwankwo Kanu
's deciding goal in the semi final match against West Bromwich Albion
with a suspected hand-ball that went unnoticed by both the referee and his assistant. The final match of Baroš' loan spell was the 2008 FA Cup Final
victory over Cardiff City
at Wembley Stadium
, where he appeared as an 87th minute substitute for Kanu. At the end of the season, Pompey decided against making Baroš' signing permanent and he returned to Lyon.
from Olympique Lyonnais
for €5.5 million, linking up with former Liverpool
team-mate Harry Kewell
. He played his first match against Kayserispor
, playing the last 15 minutes. Baroš scored his 19th goal and made his 21st appearance on 8 January 2009.
Baroš scored his first goals as a double in the UEFA Cup
1st Round 1st Leg game against Bellinzona
. Three days later, in his first league start, he once again scored two goals against Kocaelispor
, with Galatasaray going on to win the match 4–1.
On 21 December 2008, 14 goals in total, Baroš became the top goalscorer in Süper Lig, scoring a hat-trick in the thrilling derby encounter with Beşiktaş
, converting two penalties and calmly finishing a one-two move with Lincoln
, as Galatasaray won the match 4–2. He became top scorer in the Süper Lig in 2008–2009 season with 20 goals.
. His next two goals came on 13 September where Galatasaray played rivals Beşiktaş. Galatasaray came out winner 3–0 with Baroš scoring his third and fourth goals of the season.
He broke his foot in two places after a tackle by Emre Belözoğlu
in the Fenerbahçe–Galatasaray derby's first minute. He returned to action 4.5 months later on 14 March 2010 for a game against Ankaragucu, scoring a goal on his comeback.
On 11 April 2010, he scored a hattrick at home against Diyarbakirspor
. On 17 April 2010, he scored the second goal in a 1–2 win at Manisaspor. He has scored five goals in three games since returning from his prolonged injury.
for two seasons, until the end of the 2012-13 season. Also this year injuries never left Baros alone. He started very good at the season scoring 2 goals in the UEFA Europa League qualification match against Karpaty Lviv. he scored is first league goal of the season against Eskisehirspor, which Galatasaray won with 3-1. 3 weeks later he scored a hattrick against Istanbul Buyuksehir Belediyespor, but didn't complete the game due to an injury later on. He scored 2 more goals in his comeback match against Ankaragucu on 17 October, but was unhappily injured again. He returned to the green fields 7 weeks later playing the last 10 minutes of the clash with Besiktas. However he got injured again in those 10 minutes closing the first half of the season. In the second half of the season, Baroš began recovering very fast and impressed everyone with his strong gameplay in his comeback match. By the end of the season Baros appeared in 17 league games and scored 9 goals.
On 29 July 2011, Baroš scored two goals against his former club Liverpool F.C.
in a friendly match.
in their first game of the tournament, a come-from-behind 2–1 victory over Latvia
. He went on to score goals in the Czechs' other two group matches. His second goal was an equalizer against the Netherlands
; the Dutch team had a two-goal lead over the Czechs until the 22nd minute, when Jan Koller
scored from a Baroš pass. The Czechs went on to win that game. The last was a game-winning goal against Germany
. Baroš and Dutch star Ruud van Nistelrooy
were the only two players in the tournament to score in all three of their group matches.
Baroš added two goals in two minutes of the second half of the Czechs' quarterfinal win over Denmark

At the 2006 FIFA World Cup
, a persistent foot injury kept him out of games against the United States and Ghana
. He did appear in the Czech's final group game against Italy
, but was considered unfit and was subsequently withdrawn after 65 minutes.
During UEFA Euro 2008, Baroš suffered the indignity of receiving a yellow card during stoppage time in the match against Turkey
, even though he was neither playing in the match or even on the pitch at the time of his booking.
Baroš was banned indefinitely, in April 2009, from playing for his national side after a breach of discipline. However, Baroš was recalled to the national side after the appointment of Ivan Hašek
as head coach and on 12 August 2009, he marked his return to international duty with a goal from the penalty spot in the 3–1 home win against Belgium in a friendly match.
