‘The police weren’t happy with me when I decided to confront protesting Chelsea fans on the night the proposed European Super League fell apart’: Petr Cech opens up on intervening at Stamford Bridge in 2021

LONDON, ENGLAND - APRIL 20: Petr Chech talking with fans who protest against Super League before the Premier League match between Chelsea and Brighton & Hove Albion at Stamford Bridge on April 20, 2021 in London, United Kingdom. Six English premier league teams have announced they are part of plans for a breakaway European Super League. Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur will join 12 other European teams in a closed league similar to that of the NFL American Football League. In a statement released last night, the new competition "is intended to commence as soon as practicable" potentially in August. (Photo by Sebastian Frej/MB Media/Getty Images).

Chelsea legend Petr Cech reveals that the police weren't happy when he confronted fans in April 2021 in an attempt to stop the European Super League protests. 

After a four-year spell playing for Arsenal, Cech returned to Chelsea in June 2019 to become the club's technical and performance advisor. Two years later, in April 2021, he was called into action in a slightly different way than what he was used to during his playing career.
