Chapter 87

Desperate sortie, the "tank helmet" on the head forever

It's all his hallmark

He won the Champions League, the Europa League, the Premier League, the FA Cup

He has won almost all the club trophies that a Premier League player can get

He is a favourite of the Bridge, but he is also able to be cheered on at the Emirates Stadium

He is the Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech

Image

On 20 May 1982, Petr Cech was born into an ordinary Czech working family

Ice sports have always been popular in this Eastern European country

As a child, Cech also had a dream of becoming an ice hockey star

However, the cost of ice hockey equipment is not something Cech's parents can afford

Under the pressure of reality, the sensible Cech gave up ice hockey in favour of football

At the age of seven, Cech was spotted by Viktoria Plzen's academy and started his football journey without a hitch

At that time he was still a winger

But as Cech grew taller, he began to move further back on the pitch

Eventually settled in the goalkeeper position

Maybe it's because I've been exposed to ice hockey training since I was a child

As a goalkeeper, Cech moves in front of goal with a much faster rate and anticipation than other goalkeepers of his age

It made him a small star very quickly

Image

However, Cech did not start his career with Plzen Victory

His first career match was played at České Bursani FC

In October 1999, at the age of 17, Petr Cech made his league debut in the Czech First Division

Interestingly, although the goal of Petr Cech was scored by Sparta Prague in that game

However, his potential was spotted by the opponent's coach and added to the "to-buy list"

In 2001, Cech made his first career break with Sparta Prague

Despite his short spell in the Czech First Division, the youngster managed to break the record for the longest clean sheet in a Czech professional league held by his predecessor Theodore Lehmann with a clean sheet for 903 consecutive minutes

His outstanding performance has also attracted the attention of scouts from all walks of life

Arsenal had thought about bringing him back to the arsenal, but the labour certification prevented Petr Cech from joining

It also made Cech's Gunners a long time late......
