CECH WELCOMES MOURINHO

admin / / Uncategorized

Czech Republic goalkeeper Petr Cech has said that the entire Chelsea squad would not think twice about welcoming former manager José Mourinho to the club. The current Real Madrid boss has been linked with a return to Chelsea last few months now. After the Champions league semi-final exit for the Spanish club, it is really becoming apparent that Mourinho may return to his former stomping ground where he won two league titles and several other trophies. Cech was brought to the club by Mourinho back in 2004. He has managed to establish himself as one of the best in the world.

The 30-year-old is at the peak of his powers right now. He has lavished the praise for Mourinho by saying that he is one of the best managers in the world and he has said that the haul of trophies by the Portuguese in the last decade is the testament to this fact. Cech has said that he really enjoyed working under Mourinho, but he has since played under eight different managers. There have been several calls for stability at the club, and Cech has also been quick to reiterate this fact.

Rafa Benitez will leave the club at the end of the season after just a couple of months in charge.

“He is one of the best coaches in the world. He is a great manager and if he comes back the fans will be very happy. It would be a pleasure to work with him, both for the players who know him already and those who don’t know him yet. The relief would be if the manager stays five years. We keep getting trophies and we keep changing managers. There are clubs who keep the same manager and haven’t won for a long time. So which way is better is hard to tell,” said Cech.

BILEK ALMOST WENT

Czech Republic were in danger of losing their coach Michal Bilek after the match against Armenia. The coach said that he would have no other option but to offer his resignation if the Czech Republic were to lose the match. The team came into the crucial World Cup qualifying match against the Armenians on the back of the disappointing 3-0 defeat against Denmark. This has left the hopes of qualifying for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in tatters. As a result of the defeat, Czech Republic are in the third position of the table. Only the teams finishing in the top two places will have a chance of qualifying.

Italy continue to lead the table after having dropped just two points from the five matches played so far. Bulgaria are realistically the main competitors for Czech Republic. After the 2-0 win against Almeria, Bilek was able to look ahead to the hugely important World Cup qualifying match against Italy in June. Czech Republic have had the fortune of having several world-class players like Pavel Nedvěd, Jan Koller, Tomáš Rosický, and Petr Cech over the years. However, Bilek has said that it is increasingly becoming difficult for the small nation to produce world-class players on a consistent basis.

“It’s true we’ve had several world stars in recent years. But in a small country like the Czech Republic, it’s not possible to constantly produce this type of player. It depends on many factors. But we already have some young players who can become future stars. The Czech national team has proved several times it can recover after failures. We’ve already dropped quite a few points in these qualifiers, but the situation can still be rectified,” said Bilek. Czech Republic made an appearance at the recent Euro 2012, but they were extremely poor in the competition.
