Not football related but I'm also an ice hockey fan and when Cech signed for Belfast Giants, it was such a big moment for my club and for myself seeing a goalkeeper I idolised (despite being a Man United fan) sign for our small ice hockey team

Why hasn't anyone made a series of programs with Cech about the art of goalkeeping? And also about training? At least discuss with Cech the techniques and personal advantages of various outstanding goalkeepers. Gather outstanding goalkeepers and make a series of passes. Tell us about the art of goalkeeping and psychological preparation. Football is an international game, which is why it is very important now. Football should unite peoples, despite politics.

Petr talking about the training sessions and how high the intensity levels were is exactly the reason why the current Chelsea squad is where it is... the current squad needs to knuckle down and work hard and compete in training to bring it into the pitch. They can only get better if each player brings their highest intensity into training every day

@HenryWere-uk6qo 3 ай бұрын

It's crazy that the club always shows videos of the players laughing and joking at training. Kinda sends a different message to us fans especially now when the team is not performing well.

Petr you know how much I miss you, we as the Chelsea supporters for many decades are missing you. Since you left the club, no matter what it was Arsenal or even any other club that some of important part of the club was and is left forever. Seeing you between the goal posts for our beloved Chelsea team was always reliable and you Petr along with your fellow teammates brought all of us to the greatest glory that any other great clubs could possibly achieve. Thank you for all you did for.

Very intelligent guy. He could see the writing on the wall with the new owners and how many players they wanted to recruit in such a short space of time so decided to leave. The fact there looking to offload Conor Gallagher is just one example that the people at the top have no idea of a top player.

Chelsea people always exaggerate that team and their achievements. Barca weren't the best in the World that season Real Madrid were a better team won LaLiga and Chelsea were lucky to avoid them as they were in general so lucky to avoid Cristiano for 12 straight seasons when he'd only just become unplayable the last few times he played Chelsea before he went to Real Madrid and Bayern CERTAINLY weren't the best in the World and I knew they'd bottle it and that Chelsea just had their name on the trophy with how everything went before then. How many best in the World teams lose 5-2 in a cup final which was literally what Bayern had done just a few days earlier and they were trophyless. Also let's not forget Barca weren't 2-0 up they were half of 1 goal up on aggregate for an extremely short period of that match like 1 minute and then Chelsea undeservedly went back in front on aggregate due to lucky 1-0 home win somehow no away goal conceded when they conceded a million chances wasn't good defending on another day lose 0-4 easily another indicator that Chelsea avoided teams with killer instict that season Chelsea against the run of play had the aggregate lead in 2nd leg just before Half-time just like they did in the first leg and the away goal rule & other luck played a huge part in them progressing although they didn't technically win on away goals in the end due to Barca having everyone forward towards the end still losing by away goal rule and Cashley just desperately clearing the ball which turned out to create an assist.
