Cesc Fabregas has claimed he is playing the best football of his life at Chelsea.
The former Arsenal captain, moved back to England in the summer shortly before the 2014 World Cup started, after spending three seasons with Lionel Messi and co at Barcelona.
Fabregas has settled quickly at Stamford Bridge and has been at the heart of the Blues’ impressive run of form so far.
“I feel in control and that’s what I like the most in football,” Fabregas said. “I touch the ball all the time, I feel happy, I go and get the ball from here, from there, I can go forward, Oscar drops deep. I feel free, I feel confident.
“Sometimes in the last three or four years in the national team and Barcelona, I was playing like a No 9. I mean, I have to do it for the team and I enjoy it, and it’s all good. But, here, where I am playing today, in these games, it’s where I enjoy my football the most. I feel right now I am playing some of the best football of my career.
“I’ve played in World Cup finals, European Championship finals, Champions League finals with great teams. I’m not saying the (last two) games against West Brom or Schalke were the best, probably they weren’t, but definitely they were games I enjoyed a lot.”
