“When you have that sometimes you want to try too hard”.
“I never thought of being a goalkeeper”.
Despite selling Cech, Ferdinand reckons Chelsea are still in the best position this season to retain their league crown.
“I said I would do it for one match and we ended up having a very good game”.
“Then when I was about 10 I broke my leg quite badly and the recovery took time. That made the biggest difference in my life because that moment defined that I stayed in goal”.
“They have got the best players and the most drilled squad”.
The Premier League Golden Glove has been handed to Cech three times in his extraordinary Premier League career, in 2004/05, 2009/10 and 2013/14.
The Czech Republic global kept a clean sheet on his competitive debut against his former club as the Gunners won the Community Shield.

“He did well. Maybe he had an influence on the Chelsea players as well because they felt that to score against him they had to score the flawless goal”, Wenger, who enjoyed a first victory over a side managed by Mourinho in 14 attempts, told reporters.
