Praise from Chelsea fans...
The news that Petr Cech is likely to return at Anfield will be welcomed by all the Chelsea support.
The manner in which Jose Mourinho teased the press corps by announcing that he'd have a Ł50 million player available was, in its own way, pure theatre. However, Jose wasn't wrong.
Cech's return will give an added assurance to the defence, his mere presence will allow the back four to concentrate on their defensive roles rather than have half a mind on whether Hilario is coming or going.
In a way returning to first team action in front of the Kop is an act that could probably only be beaten by Cech making his long awaited return at Stamford Bridge.Although it pains me to say it, the Koppites are amongst the most knowledgeable supporters around (that last line was bloody painful to write) and we here at Vital Chelsea have no doubt that, despite playing for Chelsea - a team Liverpool despise,
Cech, on running towards the Kop, will be given a standing ovation.What happened to Cech highlighted the frailty of us all. An innocuous looking challenge almost ending up not only ending his career but terminating his life. Much has been written about the incident and it's probably best to leave the events of that well be, however, it looks like there will be a permanent reminder available for all to see for some time to come.
Cech has been training wearing a specially adapted piece of headwear. It looks likely that, for the foreseeable future, it will become a familiar part of his kit. In time, there is probably a risk that those of a less sensitive persuasion will seek to make commercial gain from marketing replica Cech headgear. Quite how that will be received remains to be seen.
However, as his comeback draws ever nearer,
I for one cannot wait to hear the ovation he'll get from all those packed within Anfield.http://www.chelsea.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=47144
