Fabregas outlines future plans at Chelsea
Cesc Fabregas says he plans to show Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte why he deserves to start matches.
Speaking on the club’s official website, Fabregas admits he’s sad when he doesn’t feature heavily in games.
I play football to win and enjoy. When I don’t play I’m sad and I don’t enjoy it but I’m happy the team is doing well.
Football is my life, it’s everything to me. Every time I’m on the pitch I try to do my best.
In this game it went well again so I just need to keep going and show the manager I deserve to play.
The Spaniard’s influence on the Chelsea squad is growing in the second half of the season with teams beginning to sit deep and defend heavily against the Blues.
Conte has preferred a midfield duo of Nemanja Matic and N’Golo Kante, leaving Fabregas to make the majority of his appearances from the bench this season.
The Spaniard was linked with a January exit from Stamford Bridge, with AC Milan expressing an interest in bringing the former Barcelona midfielder to the Serie A.
Conte made it clear that he values Fabregas and wanted him to remain at the club for the rest of the season.
Fabregas has shown over the course of the last few weeks why how he offers something different, providing the assist to Chelsea’s second goal of the game Hull.
