Petr Čech: "I am very happy to go to Baku"

"I have never been to Baku before. I am really happy to go there," England's Arsenal FC goalkeeper Petr Čech said after the second leg against Spain's Valencia FC (defeated with score 4:2) in semi-final stage of UEFA Europa League.

The Czech goalkeeper believes that the experience may play a decisive role in the final match against Chelsea on May 29 at the Olympic Stadium: "You must believe in your dreams. This is the only way to make them come true. It is important to work diligently, but believing is also important. We are on the threshold of writing history for Arsenal. In my opinion, at this stage practice can make its voice heard. Everyone has a great deal of pressure in the final. That's why experienced players should help other players get ready."

Notably, Although Arsenal FC was in the same group as Qarabag FC in the current season of the Europa League, Petr Čech could not come to Baku in October last year due to injury. He also missed the second match in London. He announced that he would end his career after the final in Baku.
