Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho hailed the impact of Cesc Fabregas in his side’s win over Derby in the Capital One Cup.
The Spain midfielder turned in a man-of-the-match performance as the Blues ran out 3-1 winners over the Championship outfit to advance to the semi- finals.
Fabregas has been on superb form since signing for Chelsea from Barcelona during the summer transfer market in a deal worth about £30m, and Mourinho was full of praise for the performance and attitude of his star midfielder.
“He’s playing so well for us and what I like especially more than his quality is the person,” he said.
“He’s a professional. A big player like him, a world champion, coming here to play a Capital One Cup match and play the way he did – this is the kind of attitude I want from my players.
“All of them were very professional so I’m so, so
happy with that, because sometimes people don’t realise how difficult it is to play against
Championship teams.”
