The correct title of this article is Petr Čech. It appears incorrectly here due to technical restrictions.Petr Čech (born May 20, 1982 in Plzeň, Czech Republic) is a Czech international footballer who is currently a goalkeeper for Chelsea F.C. (2004). He has earlier played for Viktoria Plzeň, Chmel Blšany, Sparta Prague, and Rennes.
Club Career
FC Viktoria Plzeň 1989-1999
Blšany 1999-2001
Čech made his senior-level debut as a 17-year-old for FK Chmel Blšany in 1999.
Sparta Prague 2001-2002
Cech really came of age in the 2001/02 campaign following a €700,000 transfer to AC Sparta Praha. The young custodian won a first-team place four matches into the Czech season, and proceeded to set a national record by going 855 minutes without conceding a goal. Just for good measure, he began Sparta's UEFA Champions League campaign by shutting out holders FC Bayern München, and was not beaten until Matchday 5.
Rennes 2002-2004
After just one season at the Letná, Cech joined Stade Rennais FC in July 2002 for a reported fee of €5m. Not one of France’s glamour clubs, the Czech was virtually ever-present as Rennes preserved their Ligue 1 status and reached the Coupe de France semi-finals. Played all but five of Rennes' games as they finished ninth.
Chelsea 2004-
In January he agreed a summer move to Chelsea FC for €10.3m, signing a five-year contract.
When he arrived at Chelsea, there was uncertainty of whether he will be the first choice goalkeeper as Chelsea already have Carlo Cudicini, who many considered as one of the best goalkeeper in the English League, and their current manager, José Mourinho is not the one who signed him to the club.
But once the season started, he has become the first choice goalkeeper of Chelsea, and has been solid between the post for his club.
