Cech stood in front of the door, silent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Born in the Czech town of Plzeň in Eastern Europe, he received systematic football training in his hometown team from an early age, and at the age of 19, he moved to Braxbada, a traditional giant in the Czech top league. It was from then that his illustrious career began.
After two seasons in Braxbada, Petr Cech moved to Ligue 1 side Rennes, also spending two seasons before arriving at Stamford Bridge. He has been with Chelsea for ten years since '04.
During that time, he won the Premier League, the FA Cup, the League Cup and the UEFA Champions League, which every professional player dreams of. He has been named in the Champions League Team of the Year and has won the Premier League's Golden Glove award on more than one occasion.
He is one of the best goalkeepers in world football today and is also hailed by Blues fans as the patron saint of Stamford Bridge.
But that all changed when Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois returned to Stamford Bridge, who had just won the Champions League at Atletico Madrid, was also a fantastic goalkeeper, and what gave him an advantage over Cech was that he was young and at least for the next decade or so, he was Chelsea's hope.
Jose Mourinho made it clear that he would start the goalkeeper position for the new season with Thibaut Courtois, and he could only play as the second goalkeeper.
Petr Cech can understand Mourinho and the club's decision, but he is still not reconciled. Yes, his youth is getting bigger, and his state may not be at his peak, but so what, he Peter. Petr Cech remains one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and most importantly, despite his age, his desire for glory and title ownership has not diminished in the slightest.
I've been a big part of the success of this stadium, I've dedicated my best years to Stamford Bridge, but now you're giving up on me because I have a younger and more potential option? Cech's heart was filled with a deep sense of reluctance and anger.
With this anger in mind, Cech opted not to renew his contract with the club and switched to the camp of local rivals Arsenal in the new season.
Since you think I'm old, since you've decided I'm worthless, well, he'll prove to you and the whole world with his deeds, Peter. Petr Cech remains the best goalkeeper in the world.
It's like the Chinese story that Qin Shou told him: Lao Ji is in the middle of nowhere, and his ambitions are thousands of miles!
Scenes from the past came to mind, and Cech clenched his fists, took a deep breath, slammed his gloved palms together, and then opened his arms in his territory.
A strong sense of self-confidence came from him.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Juventus have a number of players with outstanding footwork, Leonardo Bonucci, Paul Pogba, Carlos Tevez ...... These stars all have good shooting skills, but the old lady's first penalty taker is Andre. Andrea Pirlo, the midfielder's great quality has no need to prove to the world, he has not only passed the ball well, scored well and has a strong heart.
Pirlo walked into the penalty area with the football in his arms, gently placed the football on the penalty spot, lightly tapped the turf twice with his foot, and then slowly took a few steps back.
'Andrea Pirlo is in the box and the penalty will be taken by the midfielder!'
"The Italian's penalty success rate is extremely high, and he rarely misses!"
"It's a penalty that will decide the fate of both teams, and if you score, then Juventus will advance to the last four of the Champions League, which is tantamount to going to heaven. Otherwise, it is to fall into hell! ”
"At this moment, the Emirates Stadium is already silent, and the fans at home are so nervous that they are holding their breath, and many people have closed their eyes and dare not look again...... This is the most breathtaking moment! ”
'Cech was in front of goal, he looked confident, he was waving on the line, he was disrupting Pirlo'......'
The crisp and loud whistle finally sounded, and the moment that decided the fate of both teams finally came.
Pirlo took a deep breath and began to run, running very slowly and with small steps, his eyes fixed on Cech in front of him.
In this small space, although the penalty and the goalkeeper do not have too much direct contact, every look and every action seems to be a fierce confrontation in secret.
There is no shortage of players in world football with outstanding footwork and superb shooting skills, but when taking a penalty, they often miss, on the contrary, some players who are not obvious on weekdays can easily score a penalty, which is nothing more than the word "mentality".
Whoever has a stronger heart and is more resilient to pressure will undoubtedly have the upper hand in the penalty race.
Andrea Pirlo is a man of experience, and his slow run is actually putting pressure on the goalkeeper and creating the illusion that if Cech is not strong enough to move his body early, then Pirlo will immediately pick up the tempo and kick the ball in the opposite direction.
It's just that to Pirlo's disappointment, Cech never moved, he was still extremely calm, he also didn't look at the football lying quietly on the ground, his eyes were fixed on Pirlo's eyes.
"In a penalty shoot-out, you have to be calm and composed, no matter what the opponent does, no matter what he does, you can do it, you stare into his eyes, keep staring, and from the opponent's eyes, you know everything you want to know!"
It was a little trick that Cech's goalkeeper coach had told him a long time ago to save a penalty, and at the moment, the kind-faced coach seemed to be beside him, whispering softly in his ear.
Cech's composure and sharp eyes suddenly made Pirlo a little flustered, he didn't dare to delay any longer, if he continued to run like this, before the other party lost an inch, his own rhythm would be out of order.
Pirlo sprang up to speed, then took a steadied left foot and struck the ball with the arch of his right foot.
At the same time, Cech, who had been watching his opponent's eyes, finally made a move. His footsteps moved two steps to the right in advance, and then he threw himself straight out.
"Right!"
Cech yelled in his heart and leapt to his feet, stretching his arms as hard as he could.
'Pirlo runs, he's slow, he's quicker, and the shot – the ball goes to the top left, to the right hand of Cech!'
"The power is great, the angles are tricky, and the football is going to the dead end!"
'Very high quality penalty – oh oh, Cech moved his feet early, he judged the right direction, he flew!'
"God, Cech really flew, he jumped high, he stretched his arms......"
The narrators screamed.
Tens of thousands of fans involuntarily stood up at this moment, their clenched fists as if they were about to dig their nails into the flesh.
Arsene Wenger and Antonio Conte were also standing on the sidelines, the former looking nervous but always restraining his emotions, while the latter raised his arms and waited for the result with the same nervousness.
Arsenal in the box.
The soccer ball arcs in the air, from low to high, straight to the dead corner. And in the next moment, Cech's figure appeared suddenly, with a hideous expression on his face, and finally seemed to let out a silent roar, trying his best to stretch out his arm, but at the most critical moment, he finally touched the football.
It's just a little bit, but it's enough.
The ball was hit by Petr's fingers, lost the momentum to rush forward and fell straight down.
Petr's second reaction was quick, followed by a leap forward to crush the ball under him.
The stadium was silent, and after a while, the roar of the mountains and tsunamis filled the entire stadium, and countless fans waved their fists to vent their emotions for the rest of their lives, and some people cried with joy and tears.
"Pounce...... Pounced! Cech saves Pirlo's penalty! ”
"An incredible scene! Petr Cech saved Arsenal, saved the Emirates Stadium! Today, Peter. Petr Cech will be the hero of this stadium! ”
"If Gianluigi Buffon is the patron saint of Juventus, then the veteran Czech player who has moved in this season, Petr Brown. Petr Cech will be the new goalkeeper for this stadium! Cheers to him, Peter-Cech! ”
Cech got up from the ground with the football in his arms and yelled, frantically to the extreme.
See! All those who think I'm old, who think I'm useless, don't you see? I'm getting old, but I'm still the best goalkeeper in the world!
Because I'm Cech, the god of the door - Peter. Cech!
Jonas's whistle blew again, this time, the full-time whistle.
Andrea Pirlo stood in the penalty area in a daze, his face full of loss and pain, and the Juventus players behind him were all dazed, and when the whistle blew, everyone collapsed to the ground as if they had lost all their strength.
"We have won! We won! ”
"We're in the last four of the Champions League! We're going to play the semi-finals! ”
The Arsenal players had already reacted from their stunned, and a group of people ran into the penalty area with joy, Qin Shou threw Cech to the ground, and everyone yelled and pounced.
The Arsenal coaches and substitutes on the sidelines also waved their arms wildly and rushed into the pitch in unison.
The Emirates Stadium is destined to be a sea of joy tonight.
