adminLONDON. – The gap both in head-to-head results and silverware might amount to a chasm but, ask Petr Cech for the actual difference between Chelsea and Arsenal during these past 11 years, and his response is instructive.
“Little details,” he says.
It is an assessment that helps explain Cech’s decision to make the controversial eight mile move from Stamford Bridge to the Emirates and has evidently been only strengthened during a week in Singapore with his new team-mates.
Far from finding a dressing-room full of brittle characters, Cech says that he identified numerous similarities with a Chelsea squad that has become synonymous with winning following a period of nine more trophies, including four English Premier League titles, than Arsenal.
“There are a lot of things in common,” says Cech.
“What I’ve found is a group of players who work very hard and are focussed on what they are doing on the pitch to get ready. I’ve found the team spirit quite extraordinary. Everybody pulls in the same direction, which is why I believe we will have a successful season.” – The Telegraph.
