It is never easy when you spend almost your entire career at one club and then you have to make a switch to their rival team for rest of your playing time. Something similar has happened with 33-year old Goal Keeper Petr Cech.
After spending 11 SUCCESSFUL years at Chelsea, Cech is now at Arsenal where he will immediately be expected to deliver at the levels what he has been doing at Stamford Bridge. But one thing he must do before stepping out on the field as a Gunner and i.e – HE MUST LEAVE HIS LOVE FOR CHELSEA BEHIND.
At times, players are too attached to a club to let it go, something can be said about Cech and Chelsea love story. Cech’s relationship with the Stamford Bridge club can be seen from the fact that it was only his great service to the club which convinced Roman Abramovic to sell him to one of Chelsea’s direct rivals.
We know what Jose Mourinho thought of this transfer, he never wanted to happen but it happned because of Cech’s amazing relationship with the Blues.
He needs to win over the Arsenal fans and manager in the similar way he did at Chelsea. It will not be long when Arsenal would face Chelsea in perhaps title-deciding matches where Cech would be needed to get over his 11-year spell with his former club and win things for his new team.
Perhaps, it is almost a blessing in disguise that Arsenal will face Chelsea in their season’s curtain raise game in the Community Shield. A lot can be understood from how Cech would play against Chelsea. That night in Wembley can go a long way in shaping Petr Cech’s career at Arsenal’s.
