He began his football career at the academies of his home town, and then moved to\u00a0<strong>Banik Sokolov<\/strong>. The scouts at\u00a0<strong>Viktoria Plzen<\/strong>\u00a0were alerted to his talent, and moved quickly to sign him, initially for the club\u2019s development squad.<\/p>\n<p>In 2011 he was promoted to the first team and in\u00a0<strong>April<\/strong>\u00a0of the same year he made his debut in a game against Pribram. In the 2011-12 season, he was loaned out to\u00a0<strong>Banik Sokolov<\/strong>, where he scored his first professional goal.<\/p>\n<p>In the following four seasons, he went on loan spells at\u00a0<strong>Zenit Czaslav<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Vlasim<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Banik<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Ostrava<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Dukla<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Prague<\/strong>\u00a0in the\u00a0<strong>Czech<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>leagues<\/strong>. He returned to\u00a0<strong>Victoria<\/strong>\u00a0in the second half of the 2015-16 season and his career began to gain momentum.<\/p>\n<p>In nine games he scored three times, winning a place in the team\u2019s starting XI. The opportunity he had been waiting for so long for came, and he made sure to take full advantage of it.<\/p>\n<p>By\u00a0<strong>January<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>2020<\/strong>, he managed to impress many in a\u00a0<strong>Victoria<\/strong>\u00a0shirt. In 124 games he scored 62 goals, served up 16 assists, and won a total of four championships, while he was also the league\u2019s top scorer in the 2017-18 season.<\/p>\n<p>A ligament rupture in the\u00a0<strong>2018-19<\/strong>\u00a0season kept him out of action for a long time, but on his return he remained impressive and his displays convinced\u00a0<strong>Club Brugge<\/strong>\u00a0of his potential.<\/p>\n<p>In January 2020, the\u00a0<strong>Belgians<\/strong>\u00a0spent six million euros to make him their own. The adjustment was difficult for the Czech forward, who scored just three times in 19 games, also contributing three assists.<\/p>\n<p>In January 2021 <strong>PAOK <\/strong>were in the market for a forward and signed him on a six-month loan deal.<\/p>\n<p>He has been a full\u00a0<strong>Czech<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Republic<\/strong>\u00a0international since 2016, and counts 26 appearances to his name, as well as nine goals. Previously he also represented his country at every youth level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Our striker Michael Krmencik turns 28 today, and PAOK FC would like to wish him many years of health, happiness and successes on both a personal and professional level.","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":625386,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1520,5],"tags":[2378,2457,2534,3766,14135],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.5.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Happy Birthday Michael!
