Some time ago, the Czech goalkeeper, Petr Cech began to decide he would retire. The decision was taken by the 36-year-old goalkeeper because in addition to his contract with Arsenal it will end this season, also because of his growing age.
One more reason is because his position as a goalkeeper is often replaced by Bernd Leno. He often sits on the bench.
However, Petr Cech is still given the trust of guarding Arsenal’s goal in the 2019 Europa League semifinals.
Apparently, it was precisely his team carving very beautiful memories. Arsenal with the placement of Cech under the crossbar toppled Valencia with an aggregate victory 7-3 (3-1 and 4-2).
The goalkeeper does have a dream before he retires. His dream was that he wanted to lift the trophy with the London’s Arsenal.
In the official Arsenal website, the goalkeeper who was formerly the Chelsea goalkeeper also said that he wanted to go to the European League final. And that according to him is appropriate for his team-mates. “So I hope to make it happen,” Cech said.
Cech said his words before clashing the second leg against Valencia.
Half of his dream has now materialized, his team goes to the final. And the unique of his opponent in the final is Chelsea, the team that raised his name as a legendary goalkeeper. Petr Cech defended Roman Abramovich’s club, along with Cech, the Blue won 13 titles, before Cech left for Arsenal.
This is the last chance for Arsenal to win the championship trophy, for the Premier League it’s impossible. At best, London Cannon was ranked fifth.
Cech suffered disappointment when in the last home game in the Premier League, the Gunners only drew 1-1.
He was sad, because the journey was over. “But there are still three weeks to Baku,” he said at the time. Baku, Azerbaijan is the place for the European League final this season, 30 May 2019.
Since joining the Gunners in 2015, Cech has been the main goalkeeper there. Before his place was often replaced since the entry of goalkeeper Bernd Leno at the start of the 2018-2019 season.
Since Leno was installed, Cech has often been stocked. He was only revealed in domestic and European League trophies. Unique, precisely Cech ushered the Gunners to the final.
“My dream came true,” he said after making sure the Gunners advanced to the final.
More strange than that, in the final on May 30 in Baku, Azerbaijan later, Cech will face Chelsea FC. The club that catapulted him as a legendary goalkeeper. 13 times Chelsea won the title.
Many happy memories with Chelsea, but he is now with Arsenal. He wanted to show his best performance with Arsenal. “This will be a perfect career closing,” Cech said.
What will Cech does after he retired?
Cech is still considering an offer from Chelsea to occupy the management structure at Roman Abramovich’s club. Arsenal also offered Cech to become a coaching staff at London Cannon.
Cech’s dream journey to close his career with the most beautiful memories has been fulfilled. Arsenal enter the final. More perfect can lift the championship trophy, beating his former team, Chelsea!
