Is installed in an apartment halfway between the Camp Nou and the Ciutat Esportiva after living some months in a hotel
Cesc Fabregas will enjoy Christmas at home eight years after beginning his long hiatus from England, where he gave a qualitative leap in his football career in the ranks of
Arsenal. His eight years in London accelerated maturity both personally and football. Learned and enjoyed it and go home a priori not so simple as might appear superficially.
Cesc was very attached to his London life, with habits and a different football culture of
Barcelona. The vertigo was inevitable, but has passed a brilliant adaptation. Start 2012 with a feeling of bliss. Everything has gone round and hopes the new year will continue reporting joy and many titles with the club.
This Christmas, unlike the previous ones, do not need to bring her grandmother’s carn `d ¿pot soup what` galets how long have Arenys. The family was always at his side during the holidays, when he had to stay in London for parties contesting the Premier League. The most beloved people moved to the English capital, days went by brought to his side and took the opportunity to go together to the theater or walk around the City. Now this mobilization is not required. Cesc will be one more holiday meals, just as a child.
The player will go to Arenys to visit his family but has decided to settle permanently in Barcelona to be near the Ciutat Esportiva and the Camp Nou. Football is his priority and the work was the factor that weighed more in his decision. In principle, Cesc settled into the Hotel Juan Carlos I. It had a suite `With all the facilities, but at home is not anywhere. David Villa and Ibrahim Afellay also settled in a ‘suite does it look when they arrived in Barcelona and in all cases, Guardiola gave the same advice.Cesc Pep recommended, as previously done with the other signings, seeking a home of their own. A hotel never brings the same level of comfort and privacy of a home. And after a long search, Fabregas has released his new apartment in Barcelona. The situation was paramount. The Camp Nou and the Ciutat Esportiva will be minutes by car, so you can get home early to rest after matches and training.
One of the fears I had Cesc in Barcelona was losing the peace available to players in England, where only they are approached in the street. However, the player has great respect from the fans at all times. This allows you to enjoy the city when free time permits. The Paseo de Gracia is one of his favorite spots. There are two of his favorite restaurants, a Japanese and a pasta, which comes often.In London he became a fan of sushi ‘in Barcelona what continues enjoying this specialty.
Exit occasionally necessary, but Fabregas has spent many hours in the hotel room. The rest is sacred to its preparation.
His departure to London at age 16 his life changed radically. He had to learn English in a rush to get along with his landlady Noreen and teammates, while Philippe Senderos, of Spanish origin, was pulling a cable with Castilian. When he was of age and sought a home and went to live in Enfield, a suburb of London.
Later he moved toward the center and bought a house in Hampstead, north of the City, where he has lived the last years. Cesc did not want to opt out of a city that feels like their own. He rented his house in Hampstead, but still maintains the property, like that of Enfield. Although his life returns to its epicenter in Catalunya, so London will be eternal in his heart.
The tight schedule of Barca and the need to be scrupulous and relaxation training have prevented a lot of traveling to London. Only what has been done in a couple of occasions. The first when he was injured earlier this season and recently, when Guardiola gave them two days off before facing the classic.
Cesc had in mind to surprise his former colleagues and Arsene Wenger of Arsenal, who still called `Mr. ¿, and finally could. Fabregas is culé GUNN `cradle and adoption. See all Arsenal matches on TV or internet and is in constant contact with his former teammates. You just have to return to the Emirates and maybe I can do in this edition of the Champions League again if the chance to match the English with the club. His response when asked about this possibility can not always be smarter.”I hope not. The Arsenal is one of the best teams in Europe and would be very difficult to eliminate. “Perfect answer, but sincere. Fabregas believes that Arsenal has the potential to beat anyone in a European tie, as shown in the Champions league leading a very tough group which included Marseille, Olympiakos and Borussia Dortmund.
The Arsenal is always a reference to Cesc, but their reality is at the club. In the locker room has had no difficulty to fit. Obviously, the advantage was to meet and share friendship with the hard core of homegrown players.
Within the working groups which divided the team with the specific plans that follow each player, Cesc was framed in the Emili Ricart. Other national players like Xavi and Iniesta, also have their work supervised by Ricart, who taught his methods Fabregas during injury recovery. The player knew first hand the landscapes of La Mola, the mountain valley where players can walk and run around in a much more relaxed than the Ciutat Esportiva or the Camp Nou.
Barca recuperators are taking care of the Arenys after injury ordeal you went through in his final year at Arsenal and has only suffered a minor setback in four months. A good rest, healthy eating and some methods specific to the equipment such as water recovery, we are laying great.
This specific plan has left him little time to visit your home Arenys. You can only do so on Sundays or after the free weekend workouts. The priority was to fully integrate the team and Barcelona.
