Petr Cech He returned to football in December 2023. The 42-year-old veteran Czech goalkeeper hung up his boots in the summer of 2019 after eleven years in Chelsea and four more in Arsenalbut if he accepted the proposal of Dunkirkwould have extended his football career. The French Ligue 2 club, currently 3rd, attempted the impossible. The answer is “no.”
The goalkeeping coach of the northern French club, Christophe Lollichon, an old acquaintance of Cech, explains it: “It was a crazy attempt. I sent a message to Petr Cech and asked him to come to Dunkirk, after all he is also crazy ” Aren’t you playing ice hockey now? ” he said to ‘La Voix du Nord’. The two met at Rennes, where Cech spent two years (2002-04), and then at Chelsea.
“I offered him a six-month freelance contract so that we could experience something incredible. It created a great excitement, it was not possible, but more than that, I dreamed of the possibility of working again .” “He answered me with a smile, then nothing. It’s strange. I took it as if he was thinking. The next day, the next morning, he called me: ‘Christophe, with my tendons that I can win like this’ it’s not possible.'”
