Petr Cech

Petr Cech is recognized not only as one of the most expensive goalkeepers of our time, but also the best goalkeeper. More than once, thanks to the footballer, the gates of the club or the Czech national team remained intact. When a tall, stately Cech stands on guard, the opponent must work hard to score at least one goal.

Petr Cech was born in the small Czech town of Pilsen on May 20, 1982. This impressive build and height man is able to show wonders of agility at the team goal. Peter is 196 cm tall and weighs 90 kg. It is hard to believe that the baby, who was born, did not even reach two kilograms.

Mom was carrying triplets. Unfortunately, Peter's brother died at the age of two from an infectious disease. Parents raised Peter and daughter Sarka. In addition to them, the eldest daughter, Marketa, grew up in the family.

Paradoxically, as a child, the boy was not fond of football. Hockey became the passion of the future goalkeeper, and Dominik Hasek remained an idol. To the delight of the current fans, the parents of the young athlete did not financially support the purchase of a uniform and the rest of the hockey player's equipment.

Therefore, the boy had to change his priorities and preferences and go to the football sports section. But in football, he did not immediately find the purpose of the goalkeeper. Initially, on the field, the player played as a left striker. However, at the age of 10, Peter broke his leg.

After the injury, believing that the goalkeeper's position was less dangerous, the boy first entered the goal. As it turned out, Cech was the best at catching the ball.

The career of the legendary goalkeeper of our time began in the football club "Victoria", where Cech came as a boy. The young man played for the club until he was 16. Having distinguished himself at the youth tournament in Amsterdam, the athlete received an invitation and joined the Khmel team in 1999 at the age of 17.

Soon the talented goalkeeper was noticed by the managers of the successful Czech team of that time - the Prague "Sparta". In 2001, Cech signed a contract with the club, although he played one season for him. For the meetings held on the field, Cech managed to set the national record for time without goals scored - 855 minutes.

In 2002, the French “Rennes” paid for the transfer of a football player in the amount of € 5 million. The season was successful for “Rennes” - thanks to the confident goal defense, the club reached the semifinals of the French Cup.

In the same 2002, Peter made his debut in world international football. Cech plays in his usual goalkeeper position for the country's national team in a friendly against Hungary. The meeting ended with the victory of the Czech Republic, however, as well as the next six games in which the goalkeeper participated.

In 2004, having paid € 10.3 million, the English Chelsea received Petr Cech. By the way, once in the club, Cech did not immediately take the position of the first goalkeeper. Chelsea already had the best goalkeeper in the Premier League, Carlo Cudicini. Having made a number of irreparable mistakes in pre-season training, Cudicini soon gave up the place of the leading goalkeeper of the club to Cech.

During his career with Chelsea, Peter's biography was supplemented by the nicknames "Mister Zero" and "Tankman". The goalkeeper was nicknamed "Mr. Zero" for the record set by a football player during a brilliant goal defense. Cech did not concede a single goal in 1,025 minutes, that is, 11 games and 35 minutes.

The second nickname is associated with much less pleasant events in the life of the goalkeeper. In 2006, while participating in the English Championship, the goalkeeper faced the Reading midfielder. The result was a severe head injury - a depressed skull fracture.

The athlete's career was in jeopardy, doctors predicted a return to the field no earlier than a year after the operation, and premature training threatened with death. However, the footballer began training in a gentle mode a week after returning from the clinic. And less than a year later, Cech stood at the gates of the club at the match against Liverpool.

From the moment of injury, when entering the field, the goalkeeper does not take off a special helmet that protects his head from possible complications. The equipment was made according to the individual order by the German "Adidas".

By the way, this is not the last serious injury that ended for a football player with surgery. At the club's training session in 2008, the goalkeeper receives a severe dissection of his lips and chin. Doctors put 50 stitches, and also made a face plastic to restore the contour. After being discharged, Peter wore a mask for rehabilitation for the Champions League games.

In addition to playing for the English club, the goalkeeper continues to enter the field as part of the national team. During his career as a goalkeeper of the national team, Cech played 124 matches. This number of games per country is also a record one. For the football honor of the Czech Republic, the goalkeeper played 6 times during the year. Participation in four European championships in a row, as well as the world championship as the main goalkeeper - on account of Peter.

In 2016, the goalkeeper decided to end his international career.

On June 25, 2015, Cech's cooperation with Chelsea ended. The goalkeeper's transfer to Arsenal has been officially announced.

The goalkeeper's style of play is due to the excellent technique as well as the goalkeeper's physique. Tall, agile and swift, Cech manages to get the ball from any corner of the goal. Perfected technique, attentiveness and instant reaction become an insurmountable obstacle to penalties and free throws.

The goalkeeper tries not to advertise the details of his personal life. At the same time, Cech does not like secrets and secrets. The fact is that a football player, like his wife, does not give rise to gossip and scandals, so the press has nothing to profit from.

Happy marriage with the same age as Martina Cech was concluded in 2003. The girl was engaged in artistic gymnastics and won achievements in narrow professional circles. Both spouses are exemplary family men and excellent parents. The couple are raising two children - Adela and Domiana.

Photos of a happy married couple often flash on the Web and in the press - Martina regularly visits her husband during the game season. Lovers invariably attend social events together.

In addition to his career as a football player, Peter received a law degree. The goalkeeper speaks four foreign languages ​​- fluently speaks English, German, French and Spanish.

Music remains a passionate hobby of an athlete. Cech plays drums well and has a YouTube channel. In 2012, an amateur drummer even performed at a concert in Wroclaw.

In addition to music, the star goalkeeper loves traveling and collects rare stamps and coins.

In 2018, the footballer continues to play for Arsenal. Playing for the honor of the club, along with his teammates, Cech wins the FA Cup, which was 13 for Arsenal and the fifth for a goalkeeper during his career. Thanks to the trophy received, the team was recognized as the best in the history of the tournament.

In the 2017-2018 season, he was honored to wear the club captain's armband. At the moment, he is one of the best goalkeepers in modern football. The goalkeeper has numerous awards and achievements in his piggy bank.
