Both players retired after Euro 2004, but the defender opted to make himself available again to the French national side earlier this month. The Czech Republic were hoping to tempt Nedved to do the same, but the midfielder has no desire to add to his previous 83 caps. "Pavel hasn't changed his decision. Pavel will not play international games due to his fitness concerns," Czech boss Karel Bruckner told CTK. "I spoke with him on Wednesday. He confirmed to me his previous statement that he has given up playing for his country." The former Golden Ball winner's agent has also confirmed that Nedved will not appear for his country again – even with the 2006 World Cup Finals on the horizon. "Pavel considered a return," stated Zdenek Nehoda. "But his decision is final and he hopes that there will be no more speculation on the matter." －－－ http://www.juventus.com/uk/news/ detail.aspx?lml_language_id=0&trs_id=1370000&ID=5451 〔http://tinyurl.com/b9aqz〕 Nedved, Juventus only “At my age, I had to make up my mind once for all; I thought it over and my final choice is that I'm not playing for the National team anymore.” After the Supercoppa match against Inter last Saturday night, Pavel Nedved had promised he would announce his decision on whether he would continue to play for coach Bruckner's team, informing the very coach first and then making it public. The midfielder kept his word and today he confirmed he's not playing with the Czech Republic National team outifit anymore: “I'm very sorry for the National team – he continued – but I think this is the right choice. I want to dedicate all my efforts to Juventus.” －－－ 谢谢你。 -- ＣＳＩ最讨厌『火柴小姐』。 --
