# Fabregas confident the media “rubbish” will stop

Cesc Fabregas believes he could put an end to the speculation linking him with a move away from the club, after his man-of-the-match performance against Leicester City in the EFL Cup on Tuesday night.

The Spaniard helped Chelsea fight back from 2-0 down to win 4-2, assisting Gary Cahill’s header on the stroke of half-time, before scoring two in as many minutes in extra-time to win the game against the 10-men of Leicester.

Speaking to [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/10586737/cesc-fabregas-hopes-leicester-display-will-end-talk-about-his-chelsea-future) following the victory, Fabregas said he hoped his performance would “shut up” those who are causing the speculation about his future and focus on getting back to winning ways.

> Hopefully this will shut up a few journalists, a few dailies, a few whatever, who are talking rubbish all the time and focus on what’s important, Chelsea winning.

> I’m focusing on playing well and when I have the chance I’ll show what I can do, because I know what I can do and it’s a lot for this team.

The Spaniard is yet to start a Premier League game under Antonio Conte but has made an impact whenever he’s been brought off the bench by the Chelsea boss.

And after his match-winning performance on Tuesday evening, Conte was full of praise for Fabregas.

> Cesc is an intelligent player, a clever player and he sees the game, he feels the situation. I’m pleased for him, because in the games when he didn’t start in the line-up he always had a great attitude.
