Petr Cech: Chelsea Have Two Great Forwards

The Blues goalkeeper lavishes praise on Nicolas Anelka and Didier Drogba.


Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech believes the strikers at the club's disposal mean that Carlo Ancelotti's side are a threat to any defense, domestically or on the continent.


“We have a front two that will worry everyone in the Premier League and in Europe,” Cech told the club's official website.

“One is the former best scorer in the league and the other is last season's top scorer and if you count the goals together, it is a great striking force.


“The season is long and we will need everyone to score goals,” he continued.

“But if they score in every game, it will be great for us.”


Cech has no doubts that Anelka and Drogba can play together effectively as a unit.


“It is a perfect combination.” he said.

“You can see that they play and cooperate well together.


“One has the pace and the intelligence, the other has everything to help him get the ball, open the space or score goals.


“It's been great to see them play the way they have in pre-season, with their quality. We can see what's going to be the plan.” he remarked.


Cech went on to evaluate the strength of Chelsea's Community Shield opponents, Manchester United.


“They have only bought a few players because Mr Ferguson is happy with what he's got,” he said.

“They have a great squad, but they still have money to get whoever they want.”


“It will be exciting to see whether they will miss Ronaldo more than Ronaldo will miss them,” he mused.


“Even though Owen has had a few injuries, he has an awesome goal-scoring record. I think he'll be a great addition to their squad.”
