QUOTES BY Petr Cech


You have to have respect for money, but sometimes you get people who stop thinking about their career, and for them, it is just a case of saying, 'Look at me. I have a lot of money now, and I can do whatever I want.' I wouldn't do that.

I don't like running that much, and during the off-season, I have to do it, but if I can replace it with tennis, it is better.

We won back-to-back titles in 2005 and 2006, and it was a fantastic achievement, a fantastic feeling. Once you experience that, you want to have it again.

I believe that the Premier League is the best league in the world, and having played in the Premier League for such a long time, it is to my advantage, and I know what to expect.

I'm so focused on the game that I hardly understand what the people sing or shout or what they do.

Iker Casillas is one of those keepers who always seems to be at his best in the really difficult games when he has hardly got anything to do but reacts when needed in those emergency situations.

You have to be consistent in your work, consistent in your performances, because, if not, then you might not have as many games as you would like. Less games you play, then less chances to have a clean sheet.

I understood I had to be good at school so I could play football in my free time. Usually, by the time I came home from school, I already had all my things ready for the next day, so I could put my bag on the side and go straight out to play football with my friends!

It's always good to have the right call in the end.
