The Spaniard has notched nine assists in his first 10
appearances for the Blues and his manager now says he can understand
why he wore the armband at Arsenal
.
Fabregas has made an exceptional start to his Blues career since
joining from Barcelona in a €36 million deal in the summer, racking up
nine assists in his first 11 appearances in all competitions.
Many Arsenal fans have watched their former idol's performances with a
mixture of sadness and frustration, and Mourinho has now twisted the
knife further by hinting that Fabregas could one day inherit the armband
from Terry.
"[Fabregas] is a better guy than I thought", the Portuguese told ITV. "He’s a fantastic guy, he’s a fantastic professional.
"Now I understand why at the age of 19 or 20 or 21 he was Arsenal captain."
Mourinho then added: "When I am the manager at Chelsea the armband will
go to another arm that has been in this club for many many years.
"But one thing is [the leader’s] brain needs to be connected with the
manager, and his brain is connected to mine during matches."
