Friendlies: Parma conquer Spain Friday 10 August, 2007

Parma celebrated capturing the Trofeo Colombino by signing Czech international goalkeeper Radek Petr.

Petr was first choice for the Czech Republic in the Under-20 World Cup played this summer.

The 20-year-old had been plying his trade with club side Banik Ostrava, but is now contracted until June 30, 2011 at the Stadio Tardini.

Petr has chosen shirt Number 1 for his first Serie A experience and has already undergone his first training session at the Collecchio ground.

It was a positive day all round for Parma, who became the first Italian club ever to win the prestigious Trofeo Colombino.

They drew 1-1 with home side Recreativo Huelva and beat Real Zaragoza 2-0, but the final match between the two Spanish sides ended 2-2, so Parma emerge as the victors.

This is one of the oldest friendly tournaments in Europe and has been played almost every summer since 1965.
