Arsenal goalie, Petr Cech is relishing facing his former club, Chelsea in the Europa League final, which can give him a befitting end to his amazing career.
He assisted his team to get to the final in Baku on May 29 after a remarkable 7-3 aggregate victory over Valencia days back, as Chelsea struggled to beat Eintracht Frankfurt on penalties to set up an all English final.
His words, “It would be a remarkable end to my career if I play a European final against my former team,”
“You have days when you play well and you think you could continue but I’ve made the decision to retire with a lot of thought. I could possibly go on another two years but I’d rather retire too early than too late. I wanted to do it on my terms.”
“With all my experience I can compensate for the match rhythm with my preparation,”
“The key is always how you prepare in training and I always behave the same whether I am starting or on the bench. I always feel confident that I’m ready to play.
“The last dream was to play this European final and it has come true. Now the dream is to win it.”
