My Cesc Fabregas

Despite confidence having hit rock bottom, Spain midfielder Cesc Fabregas says that the Spain national team are very confident about bringing the European Championship trophy back home for a third consecutive time.

Spain have won the Euros for the last two times and they were regarded as a major dominant force in world football before the World Cup 2014. The World Cup in Brazil, though, destroyed the confidence of the Spanish national team. It was not the same team that had dominated the three major tournaments that preceded the World Cup 2014.

Claudio Ranieri claimed that he was extremely surprised but happy to see an extraordinary acknowledgement from Chelsea supporters and players for guiding Leicester City to Premier League successful season.

Ranieri has managed at Stamford Bridge since leaving the club in 2004, but he is unlikely to forget the memories on May 15. After having just won the league title by a whopping 10 points, Leicester City came into the final game of the season at Stamford Bridge as champions. This game was more special for Chelsea supporters, who were seeing the former manager return immensely successful.

When Spain’s Euro 16 squad is picked by Vicente del Bosque this week, Cesc Fabregas will be one of the first names he writes down - irrespective of form for both club or country.

Cesc remains a solider for Del Bosque, one who the Spanish coach stays loyal to. It’s been a notable feature in Del Bosque’s era, staying faithful to a particular group, and Cesc is one of them. After all, he’s formed a part of three incredible International triumphs - two of them overseen by Del Bosque himself while the other was when a young fabregas came to the fore under Luis Aragones in 2008.

Cesc Fabregas feels that Chelsea have made a good decision in appointing Antonio Conte as the next manager.

The Italian will be arriving at Stamford Bridge in the summer just after the Euro 2016 concludes. After having experienced international management for a brief period, Conte will be returning back to club football. However, being in charge of Chelsea will be an entirely different experience for the Italian since he has never managed outside Italy at club football level. Even though there have been several words of praise coming for Conte, he has also been requested to learn English as this possible.

Now most of the big competitions like the Premier League are over, our focus as football fans is now firmly set on this summer’s Euro 2016 competition. After a dreadful year with very little to celebrate with his Chelsea teammates, he’ll be eager to get his hands on one of the football world’s most sought after pieces of silverware.

Looking at the odds that the bookmakers are offering on comparison site Bookmakers, it’s clear they think that there is a big chance that Fabregas will be getting his hands on that trophy at the end of the tournament.

Chelsea’s impressive unbeaten run under Guus Hiddink came to an end after a 1-0 loss against Swansea City during the weekend.

The loss, though, had little effect on the table since Chelsea’s season has already come to a close. The 2015-16 season will go down in memory as one of the worst in the club’s recent history. Not only will they end up without any trophies, but finishing near the 10th place of the Premier League will be an embarrassment for the rich superstars of the West London outfit. Hiddink came to the club in December and the performances improved substantially since then.

PSG midfielder Marco Verratti claims that he is a huge fan of Cesc Fabregas and the Spaniard remains a player he wants to emulate in the future.

Verratti is considered as an immense talent in the PSG team. He plays in a similar role to that of Fabregas. Even though there are several weak points in his game, the 23-year-old clearly has time on his hand to make an improvement. Compared with the last few seasons,Verratti is placed more on the bench this season. It has been rumoured that Laurent Blanc no longer sees the player as a key part of the team.

Traditionally, Cesc Fabregas has tailed off in the second half of the season after performing at a world-class level in the opening stages of the campaign.

This season, however, Fabregas has done the complete opposite and has flourished under interim Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink.

Cesc Fabregas appeared to be denied a stonewall penalty in the recent 1-0 win over Arsenal.

Even though the decision did not have any influence on the result, it could have been a more comfortable finish for Chelsea had they secured a two-goal advantage. This was yet another win for the blues against Arsenal, but it was against 10 men after Per Mertesacker received a straight red card in the first half. Defender Laurent Koscielny could have received another red card for his foul on Fábregas in the second half. Koscielny clearly appeared to knock down the Spaniard in an effort to win the ball.

Guus Hiddink has admitted that Chelsea were left searching for answers against Scunthorpe United especially when it came to the set pieces.

The opposition created numerous opportunities from corners and free kicks. However, the blues managed to just about survive the onslaught. It is still early days for Guus Hiddink at the club. It would have explained the reason behind fans being relatively satisfied with the 2-0 win against the League One outfit. Only last season, Chelsea suffered an embarrassing exit at the hands of League One Bradford City in the FA Cup. Keen to .
