Fabregas: I am playing the best football of my career

Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas feels that he is playing the best football of his career since returning to the Premier League this summer.

Fabregas ended a dismal time back at his boyhood club Barcelona this summer to make a shock return to the Premier League with Chelsea, causing a string of disbelief in fans of his former club – Arsenal.

The Spanish international struggled with Barcelona but has since provided 10 assists in 12 games for Jose Mourinho’s side and he has discussed his happiness at playing so well this season.

“I don’t remember playing as well and enjoying the football [as much as I am now],” Fabregas told reporters. “I’ve played in World Cup finals, European Championship finals, Champions League finals with great teams.

“I am not saying West Bromwich Albion or Schalke were the best games in which I’ve played – probably they weren’t – but definitely they were games I enjoyed a lot. I feel right now I am playing the best football of my career.

“When I chose this challenge it’s because I felt it could be this way but I didn’t come here to just play well and that’s it. I came to win trophies and, if I could play well and enjoy myself, all the better.

“There will be games I cannot enjoy myself the way I am now because other teams will approach games differently but the most important thing for me is we know what we are doing: when we defend, when we attack, when we have to slow the pace, go quicker. We are being composed, mature, disciplined, and are playing very well.”
