Petr Cech remarkably ordered his Arsenal team-mates not to lift the International Champions Cup trophy following their win over Bayern Munich - insisting the real celebrations should only come at the end of a successful season.
The Gunners got their pre-season tour of China off to a promising start on Wednesday with a penalty shootout win over the Bundesliga champions, following a 1-1 draw in Shanghai.
Arsenal were presented with a trophy at the end of their victory but Cech refused to lift it into the air in customary fashion as a lesson the younger members of Arsene Wenger's squad who were keen to celebrate.
