Ex Arsenal and Barcelona man Cesc Fabregas has spoken about his £30million pound move to Chelsea and has said it was the right move for his career.
When it was reported that Cesc wanted a move back to England, it seemed he would return to the Emirates but it was claimed that Arsene Wenger missed out on re-signing Fabregas after refusing to activate a first-option clause in the midfielders contract.
Fabregas who had been speaking with Chelsea Magazine said this;
“Of course when Jose Mourinho came in, it was a big chance for me,”
“I had a really good time at Barcelona but I wanted to feel the way I’m feeling now – someone who can really give something positive to the team and feel that I am important.
“This is a big thing for me and when I spoke to the boss [about the transfer], he made me feel all those things and told me what I wanted to hear, what I needed to hear.”
The 27 year old had also spoken about the quality of the Premier League since his return.
He added: “The league has improved since I left in 2011, especially defensively and also in terms of the stability that teams try to have – the coaches and teams are more afraid to drop points now.
“I feel that for the top teams it is a bit more difficult to attack than it was before. Spain technically is a great league and maybe it’s still a little more tactical than England but that has improved a lot here.
“That doesn’t mean in Spain it is more difficult to beat the opponent because in England – especially with the fans, passion and commitment – when we play away it is always difficult. All the teams want to attack.”
