6.12.2012

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech said that the players should take the blame for the dropping out of the Champions League. Last year's winner of the trophy leaves miserably even in groups and will play after the New Year in the Europa League.

"You can change the coach, but the responsibility is on all," said Cech. "We are all together  , and the managers and the players - the responsibility is on all. We're a team. "

"We did not win some matches, lost our visits to Shakhtar and Juventus, but I think the biggest problem came from a draw at home against Juventus. We led with 2:0 but finished 2:2, "said the guard. "This made the the difference. Unfortunately, if you lose so many points in the group, it becomes difficult. We are out. "

"We knew what could happen before the match. The damage had already been done. We did what we could. We played a good game with many goals, "said the Czech international.

"We could only to hope, but unfortunately, the result in the other game did not work as I wanted, so we leave the Champions League. We will focus on the other tournaments "concluded Peter Cech.

If Shakhtar had defeated Juventus in Donetsk, Chelsea and the Ukrainian team would continue, but instead Juve won as a guest, and led the group, Shakhtar took the second place, sending Chelsea in the Europa League.
