Fabregas tells Chelsea Superstar he’s ‘too nice’ and desires to be ‘more of a bastard’
Cesc Fabregas believes Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen is ‘too much of a good guy’ and needs to be ‘more of a bastard’.
The Denmark international has been with Chelsea since 2012 and has made 150 appearances for the club during his time at Stamford Bridge.
The 25-year-old’s contract with Chelsea expires at the end of the season and the centre-back has been linked with a move to Barcelona this summer.
Fabregas admits he was ‘surprised’ by Christensen’s quality when he first broke into Chelsea’s first team but believes the defender needs to show more aggression during games.
‘Christensen is being linked to Barca, and I can tell you he’s a great player,’ Fabregas said in an interview with Spanish journalist Gerard Romero on his Twitch show Jijantes.
‘He is fast, strong, great with the ball, agile, positions himself well.
‘When I first arrived at Chelsea, he was a youngster training with the first team, and I was already surprised.
‘The only thing that I would tell Christensen to try and improve on is that he’s too much of a good guy sometimes. He has to be more of a bastard, you know.
‘I see that in Eric [Garcia] too. They’re good guys, and you can’t be like that in football these days.’
