Good luck to Doosan-sponsored Viktoria Plzen when they make their Champion’s League debut tomorrow versus Belarusian side BATE Borisov. Although both teams are newcomers to the competition, the omens are in Plzen’s favour. Ten previous games have been played between sides from the two nations over the course of five two-legged ties. The Czech side has won five of those matches to the Belarusian club’s three.
To say qualification is a challenge is quite an understatement, as the footballing giants of Barcelona and AC Milan are the other two Group H sides competing for a place in the knockout rounds.
We’re hoping that our team can take inspiration from old boy, Pavel Nedved, widely regarded as one of the finest midfielders of the modern era and winner of numerous accolades with Lazio and Juventus, including the last ever Cup Winners’ Cup.

Visitors to Korea are often struck by two seemingly contrary national qualities – one is traffic; with Seoul in particular being one of the world’s most heavily congested cities. Second is the pace of life, which despite all those busy roads, is at breakneck speed. Little wonder then, Korea is considered the most innovative nation on the planet.
Piece together the world’s fastest internet infrastructure; a 24-hour shopping culture; the myriad of street vendors and small shops; the long working hours and a desire to quickly build a better, stronger and faster nation, and you get some idea of the environment in which delivery company, Kyung Dong Express operates.
An ingeniously designed product with a host of radical design technology, the ICF aims to push the boundaries of materials handling, whilst sticking to the Doosan belief of simple, powerful products with great performance.
Created by the award winning technologists at the Doosan Institute of Technology Industrial Design Centre, the ICF is, according to the design team, “Innovation that embodies efficiency & intelligence.”
