Petr Cech insists he has a winning mentality and is keen to put it into practice at new club Arsenal as he looks to continue competing at the top of the game.
The veteran goalkeeper ended a lengthy association, filled with silverware, at Chelsea earlier this summer to move to the club's London rivals Arsenal, being granted the move by Blues owner Roman Abramovich.
Cech will quickly come face to face with his former club as later today Arsenal take on Chelsea in the Community Shield, FA Cup winners and Premier League winners going head to head in the traditional English season curtain raiser.
The goalkeeper will be hoping to add another medal to his cabinet and insists his approach towards the game is one where he never doubts his ability to be a winner, or the talents of his team-mates to do likewise.
Cech told the Arsenal Magazine: "I think you can’t have doubts. I believe in what I can do.

"I believe in my skills, I believe in my team-mates and that together we can achieve the targets and goals we set up. That means winning a football game.
"You cannot have a fear of making a mistake because a football game can finish only three ways – you win, you lose or you draw. You have to accept that", the Czech Republic international continued.
"Maybe you win and maybe you lose. But if you give 100 per cent, you have the biggest chance that you can win.
"This is probably the reason that I managed to keep my continuity for such a long time.
"I’m a winner in a way that I go to the pitch and I know that if I do my job 100 per cent, I have a chance to win the game.
"I never have a doubt that I can’t do that."
