- [Cech] was quiet but when he did speak, everyone listened. Whenever the captain or the other leaders didn't know quite what to say, that's when he stepped up and took charge. He was one of those characters that I don't think anyone could dislike. He's humble, incredibly gifted, and works incredibly hard. You couldn't fall out with him even if you tried. (en)
- "Last summer, things changed and I understood I was no longer the first-choice keeper, but I felt it was not the right time for me to go. During the season it became clear that my situation would not improve and, as I know I am not at the stage of my career where I want to be on the bench, I made my decision to move on and look for new challenges."

- "I am honoured to have been the manager that, at such an early age, gave Petr a top Premier League [starting berth]. After that day, it is all about him. All about his numbers, his performances, his clean sheets, his titles and his professionalism". (en)
- "This was a final of farewells and absent friends and, if Hazard was its winner, Čech was its most unfortunate loser. He spent much of the final match of his glittering 20-year professional career turning around to retrieve the ball, starting dead-eyed into the row of green seats in front of him, having earlier made a sublime reflex save to deny Giroud. It was a cruel end." (en)
