Chelsea goalkeeper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Petr-Cech-c29837 has revealed he believes his side are in a decent position to win the UEFA Champions League final after claiming the FA Cup.
The London side claimed the FA Cup after defeating English Premier League rivals Liverpool at Wembley on Saturday. They are now in the perfect state of mind to take on Bayern Munich in the Champions League final on 19th May.
This will be the second time the Blues have made it to the UEFA Champions League final, having lost out to Manchester United in 2008. However, this time around Cech is certain the Blues would be in a better position this time around to win the coveted Champions
League trophy this time around.
As compared to the last final in 2008, when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 had lost out on the Carling Cup and the English Premier League title, the Blues are in a better position in terms of confidence. The FA Cup win over Liverpool has the squad convinced they are capable to
winning more silverware this season.
Cech said:
“When you win a cup and you go to the Champions League final, it gives you a lot of confidence and the mood is obviously different when you win a cup than when you lose a cup.
We have two weeks to prepare and we have another opportunity to have this same feeling again.”
Like most of the other Chelsea players, Cech put up a terrific performance against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809, going on to make some match changing saves. One of his saves produced much controversy; with Liverpool striker Andy Carroll convinced the ball had crossed the line.
According to Cech, the ball had not crossed the line and the referee had made the right call by not allowing the goal. He did however admit that things could be made a lot easier for everyone if goal line technology was also introduced in football.
He revealed:
“If you look around, football is actually the only sport in the world at the highest level which doesn't have that help.
There are people thinking about it. They haven't allowed it for I don't understand what reason.”
