Bitter rivals, sweet victory

ManishTilwani — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 05:42:43 GMT

Cesc stands in the centre circle. His first North London derby as captain. His team 1-0 up. Time to kill the game.

The match re-starts. Cesc bursts out of the traps. Steals the ball, dances past one player, two, three. Then, with the goal at his mercy, calmly strokes the ball home.

Cesc Fabregas: Total Control

ManishTilwani — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 04:25:12 GMT

At the heart of the game stands the playmaker. The one whose first touch is already the start of the second. Who creates space out of chaos. Who sees runs no-one else sees or imagines. The one to whom precision is the norm and the spectacular expected. The one the other players look back to when their shot hits the net.

Watch Cesc take total control.

In total control

The CTR360 is the ultimate control boot. Developed for players who pull the midfield strings. Players who specialise in killer through-balls. Players like Cesc.

On Saturday, Cesc wore the CTR360 for the first time, getting a chance to see how the boot would improve his game.

Over 90 minutes Cesc gave a stunning masterclass in the art of midfield play – setting up four of Arsenal’s six goals and netting one himself. No arguments who made the difference.

Everything comes to he who waits. And in his first major European tournament for his country, Cesc Fabregas played a vital part in helping Spain win their first trophy since 1964.

Cesc made his heading practice on Nike Live: The Cesc Fabregas Show count by scoring his first international goal when he headed in against Russia. His ability to stay cool under pressure was proven at the highest level as he fearlessly converted his first competitive penalty in the shoot-out against World Champions Italy. And when he dinked the ball for Guiza to score the vital goal in the semi-final, that deft control looked very familiar.

Again Cesc played his part in the final, pulling the strings in midfield, as Fernando Torres fired Spain into the lead and onto victory. And when the final whistle blew, Cesc was the first to celebrate with his team-mates as they were crowned Los Campiones de Europa.

It’s the semi finals, the game is tied 0-0 and the tournament’s leading goal scorer is injured.

You come off the bench and in a display close to genius set up 2 of the 3 goals and your team into the finals.

Spain parties but your manager has one hell of a selection nightmare come Sunday.

The last time Spain made it through to the semi-finals of a competition,
Cesc Fabregas wasn't even born. No pressure, then, as he stepped up to take
the penalty that would knock out the World Champions. Just the expectations
of the entire nation on the youngest shoulders on the pitch. Goalkeeper one
way, ball the other. Dragons slayed, ghosts exorcised, superstitions
dismantled. You're 21 and you know no fear.

Some players are so committed you know they’d walk through fire to improve their game. Literally.

Step forward Cesc Fabregas – a man with the coolest head on the team, whatever you throw it him. Even a flaming football…

Never heard of the curvy formation? By the look on the faces of Cesc and Philippe Senderos, neither have they. Still, if you put Matt Lucas in charge of tactics, what do you expect…?
