Former Blue: “Chelsea gave me what was difficult for me to get at Arsenal – Trophies” | OneFootball

Former Chelsea star Cesc Fabregas says The Blues gave him an opportunity to win trophies, something he didn’t get at Arsenal.

These are words that will scathe fans of The Gunners I am quite sure. But the reality is, the man is just being honest because at that time, Chelsea were winning things and Arsenal were not.

The former Blues midfielder, who is now the manager at Como, admits to having tears when he played his last game for Chelsea due to the emotional connection he made there with the fans.

Fabregas on Chelsea

In words cited on X this week, Fabregas said:

“Crying after my last game for Chelsea was something I couldn’t control. It was a very emotional moment. Despite joining from a rival club, the fans showed me love beyond imagination.

“I was so loved at Chelsea that I started wishing I had started my career there. Chelsea gave me what was difficult for me to get at Arsenal —Trophies.”

Absolutely beautiful stuff to see him speaking about Chelsea in this way. I reckon he will absolutely manage the club here one day in the not so distant future.

Chelsea winger Alejandro Garnacho’s efforts in the 4-1 win away at Aston Villa on Wednesday evening in the Premier League earned a lot of praise from Liam Rosenior, and may have earned him a start this Saturday too as they prepare to take on Wrexham in the 5th round of the FA Cup.

Blues striker Joao Pedro also spoke after that same game earlier this week in pretty emotional terms about how happy we was to be at Chelsea.
