CECH KEEPS FAITH IN HARMONY

PETR CECH insists Arsenal are ready to make sweet music. And he reckons they could still be a bit special – but in a different way to Chelsea under his old boss Jose Mourinho. Keeper Cech (right) said: “Mourinho thinks only about victory, whatever the price – he hates draws. On the other hand, he also wanted to be able to keep a 1-0 or beat a team 5-0 if possible. No matter how, Mourinho wants the result.

“The philosophy at Arsenal is completely opposed to this.

“It is not win at all costs but we want to win with a good way of playing. This is beginning to change in our approach.

“Yes, as Jurgen Klopp said, we’re near to classical music. We play with beauty, synchronisation between instruments... it’s a philosophy rooted in Arsenal’s DNA.

“We refuse to play without a good way of playing. The main idea today is to continue to control the game including securing our advantage at the back.”
