Cesc Fabregas Hopes to Convince Conte of Starting Credentials

For me it’s important when I call someone to play and they show me my choice is not wrong.

Despite falling behind both NGolo Kante and Nemanja Matic in the pecking order at Chelsea this season, there is little doubting the quality still possessed by Spanish worldwide Fabregas.

“You have to accept it, you have to be professional, you have to keep your attitude”.

“My coach deserves respect because I know he wants to win and if he doesn’t play me there is always a reason”. The debuts of the Spanish defender and Chalobah means that only four first-team players – Mikel John Obi, third keeper Eduardo, Dominic Solanke and long-term absentee Kurt Zouma – have failed to play under the Italian manager this term.

However, former Arsenal striker Wright believes Conte should start with a more attacking-minded midfield in their league fixtures at Stamford Bridge.

Chalobah first appeared on the Blues bench at the age of 15 but nearly six years to the day, he made his first appearance as Chelsea registered a 4-2 win over Leicester City in the EFL Cup. Hopefully I can open his eyes and make him see that I deserve to play.

“Of course, a striker is always growing when he scores goals and I felt that he has shown tonight”, he said after the match. Cesc Fabregas scored two extra time goals, which proved the decisive margin.

‘I know what I can do. “He works every aspect for us”. “It’s a very special place for me and that’s it”, he said according to the Evening Standard. I am happy. I got a chance, and I scored t.

“I just said thanks God to give me this job and opportunities to meet people like this little boy, now a big guy”.

“In extra time I said stay together and close the space, but Fabregas scored and it was very hard for us”. “I’m not going to deny I want to play every single minute – it’s what I work for – but the coach chooses the 11 he thinks is best suited to win the game”.

The Chelsea manager was a picture of pumped-up raw emotion on the touchline as Cesc Fabregas, whose extra-time goals settled a thrilling contest, ran half the length of the pitch to celebrate the moment that sealed their last-16 spot. After uncharacteristically struggling last season, he has looked back to his brilliant best in limited minutes so far this season, notching two goals last night as well as a timely assist at Watford in just a 13 minute stint on matchday 2 in the Premier League.
