If you just need the center ➤ crop it, because resizing will alter the quality.
Also it's better to crop first and resize after (if the center that you need don't fit the dimension 1400x2), especially with this size of resize, better to resize a little bit than a huge resize.
Last but not least, use the LoHalo (or NoHalo) interpolation.
