According to the Mirror, Cesc Fabregas is used to being the scapegoat for poor results.
If you play well you are the first to have the finger pointed at you when things are going badly. When things go well you are the best and when things go wrong you are finished, you are useless.
Fabregas returns to the Spanish national team for the international break. The stoppage in the club calendar comes at a good time for the Blues, who are struggling to find any sort of confidence. Despite experiencing difficulties in form, the Spaniard insists that he is not involved with the alleged mutiny surrounding Stamford Bridge against Jose Mourinho.
Fabregas told the Mirror:
Mourinho trusts us and we trust him, obviously it is a lie [that Fabregas led a mutiny against Mourinho]. I backed him in a very difficult time. My relationship with Mourinho is good, as always, but when things aren’t going well people are always looking for something.
The Spanish International went on to pick out the players that he feels are taking the brunt of the blame.
Those of us who have been most criticised are Eden Hazard, Diego Costa and myself, but you get used to it. We’re not doing well in the league at the moment.
All things considered, the proposition that Fabregas is leading a revolt against Mourinho is absolutely ludicrous. The Spaniard has a fantastic relationship with Mourinho, and both are very public about this. The 28-year-old loves to tell the story how it took Mourinho just a few minutes to convince him to leave Camp Nou and come to Chelsea just a year and a half ago. Furthermore, Fabregas hails Mourinho as the greatest coach he’s ever played for, almost every 2 weeks.
There is just too much evidence against the claim that Fabregas is leading a mutiny. I believe there are probably issues in the dressing room. However, Mourinho most definitely has the support of the Spaniard. Chelsea will need to stay together as a team to turn the corner. It will come eventually, but only if they remain united.
Furthermore, Mourinho is staying it’s as simple as that. Therefore, players must wrap their heads around this concept, or face the possibility of being offloaded in the coming transfer window.
