Fabregas has organised his team brilliantly, and they currently boast the best defensive record in Serie A, having conceded a league-low 28 goals so far this campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Fabregas reiterated his deep love for English football, firmly declaring it the \u201cbest league in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, he also revealed a brilliant piece of advice he received from Jose Mourinho during their time together at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe Premier League is the best league in the world,\u201d<\/em> Fabregas told the Daily Telegraph, as reported by Sky Sports.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI\u2019ve always been very, very clear about it. I felt it as a player, I feel it as a coach, as a fan.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cBut (Jose) Mourinho told me one day when I was at Chelsea: \u2018I still have 30 years to work.\u2019 So I could be here (Como) for 10 years, and you can still go to the Premier League in 12, 15 years.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cFootball is so unpredictable, it changes in one second. One day, you are the best. The day after, you are the worst. So let\u2019s enjoy the moment. I like to enjoy the moment. It\u2019s beautiful what we are living here.

impressed at Como<\/h2>\n<p>Chelsea are currently without a manager and are reportedly heavily monitoring their former midfield maestro.<\/p>\n<p>But Fabregas recently revealed that at Como, he takes all the football decisions. He works seamlessly day-to-day with his sporting director and feels incredibly lucky to have a club president who completely trusts him to run the show.<\/p>\n<p>That kind of absolute structural freedom is something he would likely struggle to find under Chelsea\u2019s current ownership model.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, Fabregas knows exactly how brutal this industry can be. As he wisely pointed out, football changes in a second, one day you are hailed as the absolute best, and the very next day you are the worst.<\/p>\n<p>The Premier League will undoubtedly be waiting for him whenever he is ready, but for now, he is determined to make Como successful.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Chelsea &#038; Man United target move for 12 G\/A Serie A attacker who has revived his career<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One name that is making waves in the managerial world is Spaniard Cesc Fabregas who&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":759,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4172","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chelsea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4172","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4172"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4172\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/759"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4172"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4172"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
