Cesc forklarer her, hvad det var der gjorde at han spillede mindre godt efter nytår sidste sæson.

Fabregas: A mental block caused my loss of form

Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas has admitted that his performance levels suffered in the second half of last season, but is looking forward to the start of the new campaign.


The former Arsenal man began his Camp Nou career in irresistible form, scoring a flurry of goals in the months proceeding his big-money move from North London.

But that form ground to a halt after Christmas, before Fabregas returned to his scintillating best as Spain won Euro 2012, and he is now excited about the challenge ahead under new coach Tito Vilanova.

"It was a mental block," he told the club's official website. "Tito has made it clear that I need to play the way I know. I have to be mobile and look for space, help my team-mates by playing the easy ball.

"I've noticed the difference in the first few games of pre-season - how rather than staying static on the inside left, I have to be more mobile.

"These three weeks of pre-season help to make us stronger and we need to fuel ourselves in order to perform better during the season. A good pre-season builds fitness to see you through until the end."

Fabregas went on to say that Vilanova is more vocal than many would believe, and that he offers his squad a lot of help.

"Tito is a coach with a lot of personality, more than people think. He'll have a lot to offer and we have to help him. He'll help because he knows so much about football.

"We will help by making sacrifices and by having the right attitude. If we help each other, we'll have a great year."

Barcelona get back to competitive action on August 18, when they host Real Sociedad on the first day of the new Liga season.

Cescs interview med EMD, hvor han kommer ind på sin første sæson, hvad der gik og godt og mindre godt, plus hvad han og Tito mener han skal gøre, for at hjælpe holdet optimalt. Det er god læsning, kan anbefales, Cesc giver kun sig selv skylden for at det gik mindre godt efter nytåret. Han er altså klar over at han skal arbejde hårdt og forbedre sig, så holdet kan drage optimalt nytte af hans kvaliteter. Endnu mere vigtigt er det, at han ligesom ved, hvad han skal arbejde med.

Cesc: “This could be a good year”

Cesc: “This could be a good year”

Before the match against Dinamo, Cesc Fábregas answered some questions from the press, showing a high level of self criticism when discussing how he can improve his game this season. He also elaborated on how he is working with Tito Vilanova and the staff to return to his best game, the one that blew cules’ minds when he first joined the team.

As Mundo Deportivo reports, Cesc is eager to start the season and become the impressive debutant that he was around this time last year. The paper remembers that Tito and Cesc first met when the kid from Arenys de Mar was playing for Barça’s younger divisions.

Cesc begins by mentioning that “Tito has told me that I have to play the way I know how to. During the preseason I have noticed the difference, I am not playing too static as a left interior as I was before. My game involves getting near the goal, coming back to the midfield, associating with the other interior (probably Iniesta) and with Leo… I am feeling comfortable this season. I want to use my ability to move around the attacking line, something I have done since I was a kid. And Tito has known me since I was a kid.”

Cesc remembers that last season ”I didn’t get some things about our system. I was comming from a different kind of football, so it wasn’t easy to get used to the game. The last months of the season I was situated as a left interior, but I didn’t have much of that mobility that I have always had in my game. I need to keep moving. Tito knows that, he knows how to get the best out of me and so do I. I need to recover that quality for the benefit of the team.”

Last season a change was evident in Cesc, from an explosive start to a second part where he didn’t contribute to the team as much as he had at first. The change was not only in terms of scoring, but also in his playing. He stopped being as determined, as he was during the first part of the season. What happened to create the change? Cesc has the answer and he only points at himself. ”It was my fault, I tried to fit in as much as I could… I tried to be like them, but I am not Xavi, Iniesta, or Thiago, I am a different player, and need more movement. I don’t have to be anarchic and made pointless runs from one place to another, I can be in my position, helping Leo, Xavi and Andrés, but adding movement, and being once again that kind of player that also gets into the scoring, like I was in England. Maybe I got stuck trying to be someone I am not, and that played against my efforts,” reflected Cesc.

However, Cesc is not dissapointed with his first season at Barça, on the contrary, he said, “I am satisfied, the stats show I had a good season, despite that there are some people that do not believe so. In the last four months I kind of blocked myself a bit. It would have probably been better to end the season well as people usually remember the last games more, but I still think it was a good first season. If Barça signed me it was because of my game. The confidence I have in myself won’t go away.”

Cesc’s struggles within this team show just how difficult it is to make it at Barça. Even being a “canterano”, a player that knew Barça’s philosophy from a young age, he is still adjusting and adapting to the team, despite being a world class midfielder. It is that difficult to be an undisputable starter in Tito’s team.

Finally, Cesc was asked about the new coach, saying some things that are important to take note of: “Tito has a lot of character as a coach, a lot more than people think. He will help us tremendously, as he knows a lot about football and tactics, and we have to return this with sacrifice, giving our best, being disciplined and playing the way he wants us to perform. If we help each other and work as a team, I think this could be a good season.”

We hope so too, and with players like Cesc, we will certainly achieve the high hopes we have for this season.

God læsning Visca!

Hvis der er en jeg vil det godt så er det Fabregas. Mit mancrush over hans måde at spille og være på vil ingen ende tage.

Jeg forstår bare ikke hvad det er for en frihed han nu har fået under Tito. Var det fordi han ikke udnyttede den frihed Pep gav ham og at han nu har erkendt at han må spille på sin egen måde eller brugte Pep ham forkert?!

Er planen at Cesc både kan tage udgangspunk på midtbanen og i angrebet? Hvis Xavi og Iniesta spiller så er han længere fremme? Jeg håber virkelig at Tito formår at finde den rette løsning.

Umiddelbart synes jeg det kunne være spændende at se ham i Xavis position oftere, men hvor han spiller på sin egen måde...

Jeg tror han mener er, at fordi han troede han skulle spille som Xavi, så blev han alt for statisk, og mindre anarkistisk. Altså det havde ikke noget med træner at gøre, men han havde bare misforstod Pep, da Pep sagde at Cesc nogle gange skulle holde position. Cesc fortolkede det så som om, han slet ikke måtte forlade midtbane område, derfor blev han alt for statisk, plus hans arbejdsområde blev mindre.

Jeg tror hvad han mener er, at vi kommer til at se Cesc spille den rolle Xavi har på landsholdet, hvor han ligger lidt mere offensivt på midtbanen, plus vi vil se nogle flere dybdeløb fra Cesc, noget som manglede efter nytår sidste sæson. Med andre ord, han skal stadig være disciplineret nok til at spille en Xavi lignende rolle, men fordi han ikke er en Xavi type, så skal både vi og han prøve at udnytte de forcer han har, det er hurtige pasninger, mest fremadrettet, samt løb med bolden og løb i feltet.

Jeg tror det er det, han mener med at han var lidt for statisk sidste sæson, hvor han ikke bevægede sig særlig meget.

Jeg sorterede lige i din quotes der ;)

Ok, det giver god mening, for jeg vil heller ikke undvære en lidt tilbagetrukket Cesc som ligger sine signature afleveringer bag rummet på forsvarene...

Damn kan slet ikke vente til søndag!

[rummenigge]

WTF har Cesc givet et lign. interview til Marca som han gav til MD?! Eller har Goal/Marca bare fundet på noget?? Generelt er det som om at de nyere pro-Madrid skribenter/redaktører er kommet i overtal på Goal.com...

Fabregas: I never really got to grips with Guardiola's system
The midfielder had a difficult year at the Catalans last term, and feels that his problems were mainly down to the high demands of the successful coach's style of play

The Spain international left Arsenal for Camp Nou in the summer of 2011, but had a tough time living up to the high expectations, and he has now stated that the lack of freedom in the 41-year-old's formation hindered him.

"Under Guardiola I never really got to grips with the system," the 25-year-old explained to Marca.

"I had been playing another style of football and to take on board so much so quickly was difficult, because everyone else had already got it down.

"Playing in central midfield was hard for me because I need more mobility and I am not quick off the mark in the first few metres.

"I am not asking for anything, but that is my way of playing. It is true that I am a bit anarchic, but that is my style. Some people commented that I lacked something last season, including Guardiola.

"It was my fault really because I tried to be what I am not; I am not Xavi, [Andres] Iniesta, or Thiago [Alcantara]. I am me and I need mobility, to participate more."

Fabregas netted nine goals in 28 Liga appearances last season.

Her går den på at Cesc ikke kunne rumme alt det Pep bad ham om...hmm.

Vilanova: "Cesc can play at different positions, showed that before. He had a spectacular Euro, wouldn't be fair to judge after 2 games now"

[Lasse N]

Det ærgrer mig Cesc aldrig helt rigtigt er faldet til i vores spil.. Bevares i starten scorede han mål, men nu..... er det som om det hele er gået i stå for ham...

Hvis det ikke forbedrer sig, er jeg sikker på han ryger til England igen..

[Brombi]

Problemet med at bruge Cesc med den rolle han har i vores system er, at han er utrolig langsom på de første meter! Det håber jeg virkelig at Tito kan se, fordi det kunne Pep - det var derfor han bl.a. brugte ham oppe foran (men også fordi Villa var skadet)

Cesc's løb uden bold er fantastiske og hans blik for spillet er ligeledes genialt, dét skal udnyttes! Desværre holder han bare for længe på bolden..

[Visca El Barca]

Hvordan skal man tolke Cescs situation? Han havde en halvdårlig halvsæson sidst, Tito og han går så ud og siger, at Cesc skal have en anden rolle end Xavis afløser. Ikke desto mindre spiller han Xavis rolle i hans dårlige kamp mod Osasuna. Derefter var han slet ikke på banen mod Real i går, plus han ikke var i startopstilling til første kampen i torsdags. Det er altså to storekampe, hvor hans rolle er minimal. Det bliver spændende at se, om han er med mod Valencia på søndag.

Jeg tror ikke han er helt tilfreds eller tryg med situationen.
