Thibaut Courtois returned to Chelsea and the head coach of the “blue” Jose Mourinho decided to bet on a younger Belgian.

Petr Cech did not believe that his time had passed, but continued to work hard.

" I worked hard during the pre-season training. There was nothing that said about my inability to play in the starting lineup "

" Alas, everything went this way.

Recall that a year later Petr Cech went to Arsenal, where he spent four seasons.
