Ex-Barca star, Cesc Fabregas looks toward improvement as he was enthrusted with overnight responsibility of leading the Gooners.



The Catalan star who has notched up eleven goals so far is also in high demand for Spanish national team action. All this have come as a result of Fabregas rising up to the occassion after the young lad was seen as the next person to fill in the large boots left by departed goal king, Thierry Henry at North London. Fabregas agrees to his changed lifestyle and status:

Yes, there has been a difference in my life since Henry left. I have more responsibility than before. When you looked at Arsenal a year or two years ago you just saw Thierry Henry. But when he left it was an opportunity for everybody to show we are a team and a good club. We felt sad when Henry left, but we have been able to continue performing well.

On the young Arsenal team, the inspirational Spaniard says:

We are playing well at the moment and will continue to do so. We have an eye on the Premiership and on other trophies this season. We're a young team and even though we're playing very well at the moment, we have not yet attained our best form yet. There's still lots of room for improvement.

Cesc Fabregas joins Fabio Capello in throwing the doors open for a psychological turn around in English football.


After the disappointment of the decade was recorded in England failing to qualify for Euro 2008,ex-Barca star and Arsenal strongman, Cesc Fabregas may have given the new England national team coach a good lead in Capello's bid to fight the phsycological warfare in English players. Fabio Capello has declared he will start work with fighting the negative psychology in English players, and Fabregas, the ex-Barca star has pointed out that English players and English soccer as a whole could improve if more English players took risks outside their shores. Fabregas said:

I don’t see a lot of English players taking the risk to go out of the country to try to fight for their chance.
It looks like English players are comfortable where they are and that is it. For me, I had to leave my country to fight for my life and my chance and my dream. Sometimes that is what you have to do, but I don’t see a lot of English players going to Spain or Italy. Sometimes you have to take a step back to go one forward and sometimes they are just comfortable with what they have.

David Beckham and Owen Hargreaves have been the most shinning examples of few English that have ventured out in recent times.

Fabregas however believes there's hope for English soccer if the players can gather enough self confidence to step out. Cesc says:

English players will surely succeed if they play outside England. There are amazing players and amazing talent in England. If they had the chance to go to another country and they could do it, there would be more English players who are great.

Fabregas left FC Barcelona at a very young age to pitch tent with English clubside Arsenal FC and the Catalan super star is rapidly achieving great things with the dynamic new-look Arsenal squad.

Arsenal's youthful sensation, Cesc Fabregas has gone down memory lane to his days in FC Barcelona and the circumsatnces that led to his transfer to Arsenal. The man who's putting Arsenal on the path once walked upon by Barca star, Thierry Henry, never knew he would one day end up in Arsenal, after helping FC Barcelona youth team trounce their English opponents on variuos occassions. Fabregas recounts:

At Barca we played Arsenal a few months before in a youth tournament and we beat them 5-1. I scored two goals and I was saying I didn't want to go because we played better football than Arsenal.

Fabregas later journeyed to England, and the Catalan star speaks of his first visit :

I came here to see the training ground and to talk to Mr Wenger. Imagine, you are playing under 16s at Barcelona and then you are talking to a person like Arsene Wenger who is so important in this world of football.

Speaking on his rumoured move back to the Catalan countryside to pitch tent with his old club in Barcelona, Fabregas moves to dispel the rumours and rather chooses to focus on his rising profile at North London:

When I first came to England my idea was to go back to Spain one day. But the truth is that now I'm happier every day and I love London, the people and the club. I'm going to say the truth - every day I have more desire to stay here for a long time and even for the rest of my career.
