During this period, he played 65 fights, in which he scored 4 goals. The greatest success came at the World Youth Championship (U-20), held in 2007 in Canada. The Czech team won silver medals in the competition, and Marek joined the symbolic team of the tournament (FIFA version).
The composition of the main team of the country Sukhi was first called in March 2009. These were the meetings of the qualifying tournament for the 2010 World Cup against the national teams of Slovenia and Slovakia. These fights he spent on the bench. The full-fledged debut match on the football field played only on the eighth of October 2010 in a meeting with the Scottish team. It was a group stage meeting for the 2012 European Championship.

Stages of a football career
Marek Suchi is a graduate of the Prague club Slavia, where he came at the age of six. After going through the composition of all the youth teams of the club, he held a debut match for the main team in May 2005. The rival of Slavia was the Marila club. In total that season, the young football player played three games in the Czech championship. In 2006, Suchi became the main player of the Prague team. He holds 21 matches in the national championship, debuts in the qualifying matches of the Champions League tournament, participates in the UEFA Cup matches.
Following the results of the championship, “Slavia” becomes the bronze medalist of the championship, and Marek receives his first personal award - “Discovery of the Year 2006”. The prize is awarded to the best young soccer player in the country who has shown himself most vividly in domestic and international competitions. The following season brings Suchi silver medals of the Czech Championship. The first success in the domestic championship comes in 2008. Marek becomes the champion of the country. In October 2007, he scored his first and last goal for Slavia in the Czech Championship.
At the end of 2008, the leading young players of the Prague club became increasingly interested in the best teams in European championships. Marek Suchi did not go unnoticed either. Manchester United, Everton, Anderlecht, Glasgow Rangers, Real Madrid and Chelsea were most active in acquiring a player. But either the player himself did not decide on the choice of the club, or the owners of the interested parties did not agree on the price (the cost varied within $ 3 million), the player remained in Slavia.
In the 2008/2009 season, Marek Suchi wins the second gold championship of the Czech Republic, holds the 100th match in the national championship, becomes the team captain. His “overseas” departure becomes almost inevitable. At this time, the Moscow Spartak was the first to take notice. He offers Slavia a one-year rental of a football player to the capital's club ($ 1.5 million) with a further right to redeem a player’s contract for 4 million green. The last match as part of the Prague team Marek played against the Genoa team (Italy) in the Europa League tournament match. It was the 110th entrance to the player’s football field as part of the Slavia club.
In the Spartak team, Marek Suchy played his first match on March 21, 2010 in a duel against Zenit in St. Petersburg. He scored the first goal scored in the new team in his next meeting with the Moscow Lokomotiv. Despite a number of unsuccessful matches, Marek managed to gain a foothold in the main team of Spartak. A year later, the capital club redeems his transfer. Unfortunately, the time a football player played at Spartak was not the best time in the team’s history. The tone in the Russian championship was set by CSKA, Zenit and Lokomotiv. All that Marek Suchi won with the Moscow club is the silver medals of the Russian championship in the 2011/2012 season.
In the 2013/2014 season, the team faced serious competition for a place in the defense line. The club acquired several new defenders, in particular Serdar Tusky and Joao Carlos. Marek began to appear less and less on the field and at the end of the championship he was leased to the Basel team. He played 84 matches for Spartak and scored 5 goals.
To date, the Swiss club Marek Suchi - the leading player in the team. Together with the team, he became the quarter-finalist of the Europa League and the champion of the national championship. Basel purchased the rights to a Moscow club player, signing a contract with him until 2017.
A family
And finally, a few words about the marital status of a football player. Marek Suchy and his wife Alena got married in 2011. In April 2012, the couple had a daughter, who was named Anna.
