PLAYER PROFILES

Petr Cech


A new arrival three summers ago who at ￡7 million cost more than all the
past goalkeepers in Chelsea history combined, Petr has progressed from
being the most promising young keeper in Europe to arguably the best in
the world.

三年前，切赫以700萬英鎊的價格加盟切爾西，創下了俱樂部歷史上守門員身價的紀
錄。切赫也從此從歐洲最有前途的年輕門將成長為世界上最出色的門將之一。


Very tall with incredible reaction speed and not shy to leave his
goal-line, he has to be good to keep Carlo Cudicini out the side. Petr was
bought to provide serious and healthy competition to Cudicini and began
his Chelsea career as Jose Mourinho's first choice.

切赫的身高臂長，並且具有不可思議的敏捷反應，而且還擅長於出擊。他令人信服的
從庫迪奇尼手中得到了首發位置。在莫里尼奧來到切爾西之後，切赫以其認真和健康
的競技狀態成為了葡萄牙人的首選。


A precocious talent, he built his reputation at Sparta Prague where at the
age of 19 he broke the national record for the longest spell without
conceding a goal. Equally hard to beat in the Champions League, over 1,000
minutes in all competitions passed without a goal.

非凡的天賦令切赫在布拉格斯巴達時就以19歲的年齡打破了國內不失球時間的紀錄。
在冠軍聯賽中，他同樣是最難被攻破球門的守門員之一，連續超過1000分鐘的時間，
他的球門不曾失守。


That earned Petr a move to Rennes in France where midway through his
second season he agreed to join Chelsea for the next campaign on a
five-year contract.

這使他轉會到法甲的雷恩隊，而就在法國的第二年年中，他同意轉會到切爾西，與藍
軍簽訂了五年的合同。


At Under 21 international level he was a major factor in the crowning of
the Czech Republic as 2002 European Champions while at senior level, Euro
2004 brought five clean sheets, a semi-final and a place in UEFA's
all-star squad of the tournament.

切赫是捷克隊獲得2002年歐洲21歲以下青年錦標賽冠軍的主要因素。2004年，他與捷
克隊一起進入了歐洲盃半決賽，並進入了本屆賽事的全明星陣容。


The clean-sheet laden first season at Stamford Bridge was statistically
the most accomplished by any Chelsea keeper. A run of 1,024 minutes
without conceding a goal between December and March set a new English top
flight record.

在切爾西的第一個賽季，他就創造了切爾西最難被超越的數據。在2004年12月到2005
年3月間，他創造了英格蘭頂級聯賽連續1024分鐘不失球的紀錄。


By the end of that season he had his first championship medal plus records
for the fewest goals conceded and most clean sheets in an English top
flight season. It was recognised with the award of the Barclays Golden
Gloves for '04/'05.

賽季末，他獲得了首枚冠軍獎牌、英格蘭頂級聯賽中最少失球和最多場零封對手的紀
錄，對“04-05賽季金手套”獎來說，他是令人信服的。


Though the 2005/6 version of the Chelsea defence was never quite as
watertight as the season before, Petr continued to excel and was a major
reason for a consecutive Premiership title. It was all the more admirable
for the fact that unbeknown to most people, he had been playing for 14
months in pain from a shoulder injury.

儘管在接下來的2005-2006賽季，切爾西的防守並不能像上一個賽季那樣滴水不漏了，
不過切赫仍然繼續著他出色的發揮，並成為球隊衛冕的一個主要原因。但並不為很多
人所知的是，令人尊敬的切赫在長達14個月的時間內是帶著肩傷出場比賽的。


With the other shoulder also damaged during last season, Petr went under
the knife as soon as the Czech Republic's low-key World Cup ended. He
missed the opening games of Chelsea's 2006/7 title defence but returned at
Blackburn in August in full working order once more.

隨著另一個肩膀也受傷，世界盃後，切赫接受了手術，因此缺席了2006-2007賽季的
前幾場比賽。不過在八月對陣布萊克本的比賽中，他重新回到了主力位置。


However, a dreadful collision with Reading's Stephen Hunt in October 2006
left Petr with a fractured skull and requiring immediate surgery. He faces
a long lay-off - but frighteningly for the opposition, when he does
return, he has well over a decade ahead to further improve!

然而，2006年10月，與雷丁前鋒亨特的災難性撞擊使切赫再次遭到重大打擊，不得不
馬上接受手術。等待他的是長期的缺陣，而對對手而言，打擊隨時會發生：一旦切赫
歸來，一個狀態更好的守門員將再次出現在切爾西的球門線上！
