The Story of The Midfield Genius Who WASTED His Career

[@saratov99]

Not mentioned that in Arsenal he replaced non other than Patrick Vieira!

[@RaymarFootball]

Vieira almost never gets talked about but he was a legend 💯 and for a young Fabregas to replace him without skipping a beat speaks volumes

[@LorenzoMinaccia]

@@RaymarFootball Without skipping a beat is a bit of a stretch. Arsenal fell off a cliff after Vieira left. I understand that his exit wasn't the only reason for the sudden decline but it was a big part of it and for a while there, Fabregas, as talented as he was, simply couldn't fill the void.

[@yorygibson-rc1lw]

It was also because flamni left for AC Milan are right after vira left.

[@S0L12D3]

Cesc Fabregas was a player that made me want to play in the midfield. The control and composure he had was so impressive

[@SonnyK248]

By the time Fabregas was 21 he was already on the same level as Xavi and Iniesta. His big problem was that he went to Barcelona too soon. He expected to slowly integrate into Xavi's place on the team because Xavi was getting old but three years later Xavi was still Xavi and Fabregas was still waiting. And he'd pretty much wasted his time there. If he'd stayed at Arsenal just for those years he spent at Barca then he's be a legit Premier League legend. He was already in the conversation for best midfielder in the Prem before he turned 20.

[@Richard-d1y]

I just think he was the same as Henry. Both were big fishes in medium ponds in the EPL, but small fishes in the biggest pond at Barca. Henry looks average next to Messi. Cesc looks average next to Xavi and Iniesta.

[@SonnyK248]

@@Richard-d1y Henry was in his 30’s and absolute class at Barcelona 😂 but of course he looked inferior compared to Messi who wouldn’t?

I don’t really see the whole argument of Guardiola playing him in a deeper role at Barcelona. First of all as far as I remember he was often playing that false 9 position in 2011/12 leading up to the the 2012 Euros where Spain used him the same way. Second of all you have to remember that Fabregas played 3 seasons at Barcelona and only the first one was under Pep. 2012/13 was under Tito Vilanova and 2013/14 Tata Martino was the head coach. You could have at least mentioned that cause I feel like many people watching this video will now assume Fabregas played the majority of his time at Barça under Pep while it was only one season.

[@joehiggs4349]

He never should have gone home. Pep stifled many great players to serve his system. Understandable but tragic for Ibrahim, Cesc, Yaya, and others.

@@prometheustv6558 The sad thing is that he was so versatile he could have fit in with that Barca team beautifully but the four guys at his positions - Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, and Messi (ok, Messi was a lot more) were marginally more appropriate at each position. Cesc ended up being a world class utility player but it wasn’t enough for his huge talent. We don’t need to weep too much for him. His career was fantastic.

The problem with Fabregas is that he was always seen in the shadows of a Silva Iniesta Xavi or a even Bisquits which is highly unfair for someone of his caliber

[@thetruth4654]

How is it unfair? Xavi and Iniesta are arguably the GOAT midfielders in football and Busquets is arguably the greatest DM of all time(i don`t think he is, but he is certaintly top 3 with Rijkaard and Matthaus)

[@Thedarkmickey]

I dont think it makes sense to say its highly unfair. You could say that about so many other attacking players who where at the top of their game, but Cause of Messi and Ronaldo they where in the shadows, (Neymar perhaps the best example) true but thats just how it is.

[@kothicamedarth2680]

[@worldtownfc]

Cesc Fabregas chose to leave Arsenal to return to his home club, FC Barcelona. He knew that he would take a demotion from Arsenal's No. 1 to a rotation player at FC Barcelona. His dream was probably to play for FC Barcelona with his old friends from the academy like Gerard Pique and Lionel Messi. Fabregas's intense and clinical style did not fit the FC Barcelona way because he was willing to complete low percentage medium-to-long balls, which goes against the tika-taka possession style. Fabregas brought results and assists, but he would never be the prime creator with Xavi, Iniesta, and Messi. At least, Fabregas knew after three seasons that he was wasting away at FC Barcelona, so he left for Chelsea. Fabregas won the 2012-13 La Liga, 2011-2012 Copa del Rey, 2011 and 2013 Supercopa, 2011 UEFA Super Cup, and 2011 FIFA Club World Cup. Trophies only mean so much until the player wants serious game time or a bigger role on the team. As a key player, Fabregas won trophies (2 Premier League titles, 1 FA Cup/1 runner-up FA Cup medal, 1 Football League Cup, and 1 UEFA Europa League) for Chelsea, so he got what he wanted in the end. The later injuries are not surprising because early in his career, Fabregas was an intense attacker, so the wear and tear finally caught up to him. Fabregas is one of the greatest Spanish midfielders of his era.

[@bismposdimitris8972]

Dude, you're oversimplifying things. Cesc may have been successful with the Spain NT, but G/A is NOT all there is to football. Everyone at the time knew, that Xavi and Iniesta were the main guys on those teams (which of course had many other great players, among them Fabregas). At Barca, Cesc failed. Plain and simple. We do not know who is at fault (Cesc himself, Pep, the board etc.), but you are making it sound like Cesc was that hidden gem at Barca (again citing those G/A numbers, which are not everything in football) and was mistreated by Pep. The reality is that Cesc could not bench Xavi (who was pushing early 30s at the time) or Iniesta (who was exiting his prime when Cesc left in 2014). Cesc played under Pep, Tito and Tata at Barca and eventually was sold when Enrique became the boss, that's 4 different managers. And here is the thing: Cesc was never the type of midfielder Xavi or Iniesta were, he was more of a attacking midfielder, that's why he had more G/A (ofc he was really talented as well, but he did play a different role). So he could not replace them at the Barca system. The thing is he could not play this role at Barca, because the main creative outlet up front was none other than Leo Messi, in his prime. In other words, there was no room for a player like Cesc at Barca.

[@blank1933]

how was Fabregas more of an attacking midfielder when before he joined Barca at Arsenal he was involved in all phases of the game. He had the qualities to be better than both and should have been better than both. the level Ozil reached in la liga is what Fabregas was capable of

Saddest thing was Wenger made him to big for the 2005 u21 where Spain needed him. Would have been nice to have him, Mikel Obi and Messi the three biggest kids that year.

[@CaptainCreampie69]

I have always thought he was a more direct version of Xavi and better than him. Xavi played too slow and was too safe, while good at keeping possession multiple games were drawn or lost because he prioritized possession over attack. If he had the dribbling of Iniesta he would’ve been the best player ever. I honestly think that if FCB were going to insist on playing Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta and Messi, they could’ve just kept him as a false 9 like they did and move Messi to the right and cut in on his favored foot, Dani Alves provides width with Pedro/David Villa/Sanches/Neymar on the left and when defense was needed have Abidal play or when attacking Maxwell/Alba. Also talking about Ozil he was great as well, extremely direct and a decent dribbler, he lacked the stamina however. Honestly if I were to make an all time 3 in the middle it would be Fabregas, Viera, Iniesta. Direct as well as patient, a pure destroyer and someone who can wriggle out of trouble with dribbling.

[@sagarranjan4585]

Some mid 80s born players like Rooney, Fabregas, Torres, Podolski peaked too early. Still went on to have amazing careers. I personally never felt that Fabregas was a Barca kind of player. Would've excelled more at Madrid. The timing of his move wasn't the best. Had he moved to Barca one year earlier left one year later, he'd have one more league and one CL at least. Those extra years at Arsenal limited him. His Chelsea stint was satisfying to watch.
