After "astonishing Chelsea players in training": Peter Cech's bizarre comeback

The goalkeeper who hung up his gloves a year and a half ago returned to training only to regain confidence in the coffee, but the high ability he displayed convinced Lampard: "He retired too soon."

What is the chance that he will play?

Corona's wonders: Peter Cech, who retired from football a year and a half ago, signed up for Chelsea's squad in the Premier League last night (Tuesday) and is returning from retirement, at least roughly, as an "emergency goalkeeper".

The 38-year-old Czech, who since his retirement has served as the blues' technical advisor, recently took part in training to help the disappointing coffee get better, remove rust and increase self-confidence.

But instead of helping Coffee and Edouard Mandy, Chelsea players and coach Frank Lampard were surprised to find that Czech was fit enough to compete with them.

"Chelsea players were amazed at Peter's ability in training," the Telegraph reported, "from the moment he returned to the pitch, it was clear he was still capable of playing at the highest levels of world football."

At the same time, sources in Chelsea noted that "the chance that Czech will be a partner this season is very unlikely", because the team has a fairly long list of available goalkeepers: Coffee, Mandy, Willie Cbajero and even the goalkeeper of the youth team Carlo Ziegler.

"Peter has been training with us for a while, and he has tremendous experience," Frank Lampard said.

"He passes on his knowledge and experience to our other goalkeepers, and that only helps us. A lot of things can go wrong during the Corona - positive tests, isolated players and so on - so getting Peter back on the squad was a very easy choice. He is in very good shape, still relatively young, and probably relatively young. Who retired too early because he can still play. "

Lampard added: "I'm not sure if we'll see him play this season, it depends on all sorts of things, but I have no doubt he will be ready for it if required. If we have to use our assistant goalkeepers, we can ask for nothing better from Peter Cech. I don't think it will happen, but all sorts of weird things are happening in the world right now. "
