Wycombe goalkeeper praises Petr Cech for helping him becoming the highly-rated keeper he is. Blackman has been with the first team since 2011-2012, since he was 18 alongside Petr Cech. He spent a lot of time growing up with him, learning from him. Blackman said about Arsenal's keeper in the Daily Star: « He is such a good professional on and off the pitch and a huge inspiration for me, so was great to be able to learn from him ».
Let's have a quick look back at Petr Cech career at Chelsea. One champions league, four Premier League titles, four FA cup, one Europa League... four Premier League Golden Gloves. Cech is a great exemple for young keepers. Chelsea's captain, John Terry is often credited for his help with young players but Cech is as important for keepers like Blackman or Mitchell Beeney also on loan.
Petr Cech is cetrainly one of the three best goalkeepers of Chelsea history alongside Carlo Cudiccini and Peter Bonetti. Current Chelsea goalkeepers Courtois and Begovic said they have a lot of respect for him. Cech is an exemple of professionalism, talent, hard work, knowledge of the game and simplicity. He hasn't got as much attention as Neuer or Buffon even though he is certainly one of the best keeper of all time. Not very active on the social media and in the media, Cech is truly one of a kind.
