So Jose Mourinho is back ‘in the media’, doing one of the things he knows how to do best. The Portuguese has described one of his summer signings, Cesc Fabregas as the missing piece of Chelsea’s engine. The 27 year-old who moved from Barcelona to Stamford Bridge in a £27million deal scored his first goal for the Blues against Vitesse Arnhem last week.

Mourinho stated, “I see him everywhere. Because he can play everywhere. His best quality is the speed at which he analyses the game and executes. He’s very intelligent. And gives you goals. Fabregas is the missing piece of our engine. He has a football brain we need in our team. All the players have a fantastic feeling around Cesc. They really feel that he sees football too fast. It is so rare that he loses the ball or makes a wrong decision. He can accelerate the intensity of the game, or he can reduce it.”

The Chelsea Manager also said he was surprised at the ex Arsenal captain’s decision to return to English football.

He continued, “I always thought Cesc would stay a Barcelona player. It was him feeling so strongly about coming back to English football, a bit like me. I was in a big club, Real Madrid, and wanted to be back. He was at a big club, Barcelona, and wanted to be back. When we heard that he wanted to come back to London, we knew he was the last one we wanted.”

Dear Mourinho, we hope this headline “stays” the same in the coming months.
