Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech stresses on staying alert ahead of Arsenal clash
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ross-Turnbull-c31796 was sent off.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Czech-Republic-c2882 international made an instant impact on the match, saving a penalty shortly after coming on making sure his side did not concede any late goals. It was Cech’s contribution that undoubtedly ensured the Blues’ passage into the next round of the cup competition.
Cech said in an interview:
“Sometimes that is the way it is. You are sitting on the bench not even moving and then suddenly you have to get up.
When you go in and you are facing a penalty kick it is not an ideal situation, but I was ready.”
Chelsea were in the lead when Turnbull was shown a red card for a foul on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-Sturridge-c10076’s late goal.
He continued:
“I was watching the game and watching what was happening. I had an idea when I went on what was going to happen.”
According to Cech, the first penalty save had sharpened his senses and reflexes which is why he was able to act quickly to stop the rebound. Apart from the initial saves, Cech did well to make sure the Toffees did not find the back of the net towards the end of extra time.
Cech revealed:
“The first penalty save helps and the rebound helps even more. Then within 90 seconds there was another save, so then I said I was warm enough!”
While http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314, Cech revealed his side were now looking forward to the next Premier League match, the clash against London rivals Arsenal.
He added:
“The defeat at QPR left us very disappointed but we are still progressing as a team and as individuals.
Hopefully we can continue that against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429.”
