Former football goalkeeper Petr Čech was entered on the Chelsea roster for the English league. The 38-year-old famous “Blues” player, who now works at the London club as a consultant to the sports and technical department, ended his career in the Arsenal jersey last May.
The reason for listing is the coronavirus pandemic. “We saw for ourselves that the teams had to isolate positive players. Of course we have enough goalkeepers at the moment, but you never know. Since there was a place on the roster and I was ready as an emergency option, we decided to do so. that it will not be necessary, “the Czech Republic told Sport Invest, which represents him.
According to him, the probability that he would catch behind the team led by his former teammate Frank Lampard from the position of coach is small. “However, it may happen that some players get injured, others will have to isolate themselves, and these days, when there are a lot of matches and a lot of travel, there is a small probability,” said the Pilsen native.
“We do not want to risk that we will then have problems with finishing matches. Even though it is an emergency option and the probability is very small, we want to be insured,” added the former Czech representative. In addition to him, the list of the London team from the goalkeepers also includes Édouard Mendy, Kepa Arrizabalaga and Willy Caballero.
After the end of his Czech football career, he competed for Guildford several times in the lower English hockey competition. He would not be afraid of returning to the football goal. “I believe that I would have managed the match, because I train and keep fit, and moreover, during this year, when bubbles were forming and people could not mix, I trained with the team. If it really happened, I would have to I could play the match, so I could do it, “stated Čech.
He agreed to write on the list with Lampard. “It was actually his idea that if I am already training with the team, it would be wise to write me for an emergency. Although, of course, we hope that we will not need it,” said former goalkeeper Blšan, Sparta or Rennes.
The Czech spent the most successful period of his career in Chelsea. He won the Champions League and the European League with her, four times the Premier League, four times the English Cup and Super Cup and three times the English League Cup.
