Standup9ja - Fabregas Feels Humbled After 300 PL Games
Cesc Fabregas made his 300th Premier League appearance in
the 3-1 win over Swansea with Chelsea and he feels humbled and very proud.
Chelsea stretched their lead at the summit to 11 points,
with Fabregas scoring a goal and getting an assist.
The Spain international is happy with his achievements and
reflected on the roles of his past managers.
“To be honest, I feel humbled and very proud,” Fabregas told
Chelsea’s official website. “I’ve worked very hard to make it to 300 [games]
and all I can say is thank you to everyone who has helped me reach this mark –
to Arsenal, to Chelsea, to Arsene Wenger, Mourinho, Hiddink and Antonio.
“Obviously thanks goes to all the fans who support me, my
family and friends as well. It has been many years, although it doesn’t feel
like it, it feels like it was yesterday, but it’s been a long journey and
hopefully it will be an even longer one.”
Fabregas believes he could have improved his return against
the Swans, revealing his disappointment at scoring only once.
“I could have had a hat-trick,” he added. “I had a few
chances, but the most important thing was that the team won.
“I felt it was a very difficult game and we knew it would
be. Swansea have changed since the new manager [Paul Clement] has come in, they
play very compact, so it was difficult for us.
“Like every Premier League game, you have to work hard, you
have to dig in, and in the second half we had to show our character and come
back into the game. It wasn’t easy at all so I’m very happy for the win.”
“At the end of the day you play 38 games like everybody
else,” he said. “Some teams have a good period at the beginning, other teams
finish stronger. Ultimately you will play against everyone and you just have to
be regular and try to be solid every time you play.
“At the moment we feel good but I agree completely with the
manager: there is still a long way to go.”
