Chelsea FC: Thibaut Courtois Thanks Cech For Tips Following Injury Scare, Not Ready To Relinquish No. 1 Spot

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois thanked teammate and fellow shot-stopper Petr Cech for sending him pieces of advice, following an injury scare during their match against Arsenal.

The Belgian international suffered a concussion to the head after he collided with Gunners attacker Alexis Sanchez, and was replaced by Cech moments later.

"Petr sent me a message after the Arsenal game and later he told me that in the Premier League maybe some strikers really go against the keepers," said the 22-year-old.

"He said maybe sometimes it is better to protect your head to go down quicker and with your back or your shoulder protecting your head.

"That was a tip he gave me and it's good because, when you come into a new league sometimes things are different than in Spain so it's good to know that.

"Is it more physical here? Yeah. In Spain there is more organisation, maybe more football, while here maybe some teams are going quicker with the long ball and rushing it to the front."

While the two seemed to have formed a certain kind of bond among them, Courtois declared that he has no intention of relinquishing his position as Blues no. 1.

"There is always pressure when you are at a big club. Now that Petr is on the bench I know that people are looking, but I don't have any problem with that."
