Nedved's contact with the tough Serie A championship wasn't as big of a shock as it was for other players, mostly because he fit right in, with his enthusiastic, battle-prone playing style.

After the 2005-2006 Serie A match fixing scandals, Juventus got relegated to the second division and Nedved, along with other Juve long-timers such as Del Piero or Gianluigi Buffon, agreed to stay with the club even during these hard times and managed to bring Juventus back in the first league the following season. For his loyalty to the club and for his commitment to winning every match through a fight, he is considered a legendary player in the Czech Republic and at Torino.
