Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has heaped an abundance of praise upon his experienced goalkeeper Petr Cech.
The Czech Republic legend is one clean sheet away from equalling David James’ all-time Premier League record of 169 and the 33-year-old can match the ex-England international’s tally on Sunday in the north London derby against Tottenham Hotspur.
I believe that there is no coincidence.
What is repeated is not coincidence, it is just class. As well, not only class but dedication and consistency of quality.
Knowing him well now after a few months, I’m not surprised by this kind of achievement because he is absolutely dedicated to his job, he analyses absolutely everything and is gifted as well.
He is a super talent. He is certainly one of the greatest goalkeepers we have ever seen here in this country.
The Frenchman then praised the former Chelsea man and admitted that he could play at the top level until his late 30s, perhaps news that Wojciech Szczesny will not be too pleased to hear after the Pole admitted he would like to return to the club next season.
He plays in a position where age is less of a restriction than in any other job. Until 37 or 38 I consider that a goalkeeper can be completely able to play at this level.
Arsenal face Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend in the first north London derby of the Premier League season, with Cech expected to play a key role in the outcome of the game if the Gunners are to come out on top.
