A Fab beginning

Postou 16 de maio de 2015 Cesc Fabregas on joining forces with Jose Mourinho and starting his Chelsea career with a Premier League title

"FUJIAN IS UNEXPECTED," said Cesc Fabregas as he ponders to his move from Barcelona to Chelsea last summer. For most of his football life, Fabregas and his new manager Jose Mourinho had been rivals. The Spaniard was in his formative years when Mourinho was transforming Chelsea from a team that the midfielder's former side Arsenal had become accustomed to beating into one that always seemed to be one step ahead of the north Londoners. And when Fabregas fulfilled his dream of returning to his boyhood club Barcelona in 2011, he found Mourinho at the helm of a record-breaking Real Madrid side that finished nine points ahead of the Catalans in his first season back in Spain.

Fabregas is now, however, an integral part of the Mourinho winning machine. We meet the 28-year-old less than a week after he won the Premier League title with Chelsea - an achievement that eluded him throughout his eight years at Arsenal. "It's been a very good year," he grins. "We won two trophies (the Blues also won the Capital One Cup in March) and hopefully it's just the beginning of something very good for this club. That's what you hope, that's what you want and that's what you fight for."

He has enjoyed four days off on Mourinho's instruction. But today Fabregas goes back to work, with the team set to meet at Chelsea's training ground in a few hours' time to prepare for their first match as league champions. Until then, and with a large sushi order on the way to ensure he arrives at Cobham fully fuelled, Fabregas is ours to ask how an unexpected link-up with a former foe turned into one of the season's biggest success stories.

Was there a moment or match during the season when you first realised this was a title-winning team?
"Basically, in all the big games. Almost every three days we were competing in the Champions League, Capital One Cup or Premier League. And, up until now, we've lost only three games all season. That's remarkable, I'd say, because we've played more than 50 games for sure [Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Liverpool last weekend was their 52nd game of the season]. That's not an easy thing to do, considering the high level football is at these days. I knew from the beginning that we had a good squad and all the ingredients to have a good season, but you still have to perform to make that happen. We've been very consistent throughout the whole season. And, at the end, it's the most consistent teams that get silverware."

Was the transition from playing in Spain to returning to the Premier League as straightforward as many presumed it would be for you?
"There is always something that you have to adjust to when you go to a new club, as much as it is the same league that I played in for eight years at Arsenal. When you change clubs, though, there are new people, new tactics, a new manager, new everything. So you have to adapt and adjust to what the team wants from you. But apart from that, I have always just tried to play my game, be natural and be efficient."
