Didier Drogba has paid tribute to his ‘hero’ Petr
Cech after the Arsenal goalkeeper announced
his intention to retire at the end of the season.
Despite moving to join London rivals Arsenal
three years ago, Cech, alongside Drogba are
considered Chelsea legends due to their
immense contributions for the Stamford Bridge
outfit.
One of such was helping to deliver a first
Champions League title in 2012 after they
defeated Bayern Munich in an epic final; a
European showpiece fondly remembered for
Drogba’s bravery and Cech’s great show of shot-
stopping.
The Czech’s – who turns 37 later this year –
decision to hang his gloves have come at the
back of losing his starting berth at the Emirates
to German goalie Bernd Leno.
His move has been well received by his former
Ivorian teammate, who took to Instagram to sing
his praises.
“I would need millions of
words to describe you, your
good heart, your
professionalisms and winning
mentality but one picture
summarises it all,” Drogba
wrote on Instagram.
“Thank you my hero Petr Cech
for having golden hands and
heart. Man saved three
penalties and run into me like
I’m a legend.
“What a career you’re gonna
end in few months. Love to the
family.”
