SUCH IS LIFE IN BARCELONA CESC FABREGAS

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 ofArsenal. 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 ofBarcelona. 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.

Addicted to good TV series

While reset forces facing off Cesc television series. He continued to see some of what was already addicted in England, of course, in the original. Investigations of Jack Bauer in ’24 ‘caught him and other more relaxed as the series’ Gossip Girl’, ‘Desperate Housewives’ or’ Entourage ‘. The series has always liked and just when I was in La Masia Catalunya grew on average with the sufferings of the family Aiguader in ‘Cor de la Ciutat’. And both have achieved. Now have more time to travel to his village, where is a real idol. The school recently dressed Presentació, where he began to study, and all amazed by the children. Fàbregas Soler families are very dear to the people and everyone feels as its own victory Cesc. A path to success as Barca has not just begun

Arsenal Transfer News: Gunners Set to Receive Bold £30M Bid from Barcelona for Theo Walcott

If rumors are to be believed, Spanish champions Barcelona have added English club Arsenal’s winger Theo Walcott to the list of players the club would like to bring to the Nou Camp. The European champions will, therefore, submit a bid to acquire the 22-year-old Englishman’s services.

Barcelona, who previously targeted Tottenham’s midfielder Gareth Bale, has now declared that the club will be making a £30 million move for Walcott; a figure that may be hard for Arsenal to resist. It is believed that Barca boss Pep Guardiola is looking for young players to add to the squad, to play alongside those advancing through the club’s youth ranks.

The Englishman has less than 18 months to run on his current contract and that may prove an advantage to the Catalan club. In addition, Walcott, a former Southmapton player, may feel the urge to look for a future elsewhere if Arsenal yet again fail to win a trophy or even finish in the top four of the Premier League, come May.

The English club, however, will be understandably reluctant to let Walcott go. He is considered one of the key members in the current Gunners’ squad and the club’s manager, Arsene Wenger, has already lost two other key players, Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri, to Barcelona and Manchester City, respectively.

The Spanish champions’ rumored bid of £30m could be seen as a trifle high for someone who has yet to demonstrate excellence on the same scale as Barcelona. However, give that the club’s other new signing, Chilean Alexis Sanchez, for example, has also yet to truly prove his worth to the team and front-man David Villa is still to regain form and looks off the pace, a gamble on Walcott may be worth Barcelona’s while.

Arsenal are currently 12 points adrift of league leaders Manchester City and are in seventh position in the table.

On the current status of all Barca, Pedro and said he was confident that the club should be considered favorite in every tournament that dispute, because “we have a great team.” He noted that “this year, with the arrival of Cesc, Alexis and the emergence of Thiago, we have a more compact equipment, with greater depth in which each brings something different: Alexis, overflow in band, Cesc, verticality, balance and concentration ; Thiago is very dynamic. ”

In relation to the competition that it implies, the striker looked on the bright side: “There was always plenty of competition on the computer, and a huge talent in attack positions. That’s good, because not only are stronger, competition forces us to make the best of us. And if we have to rotate, so be it. The idea is to get many titles, and we need the highest possible quality. ”

Questioned by the motivation of the team after having won everything, the canary sought the perfect example. ”When you train alongside Carles Puyol and you realize his ambition, but can not infect you,” said the player strongly.

No doubt that feat brings good memories: “We won that tournament and also there I had the chance to get something incredible, which was score a goal in all competitions that year. It was a beautiful event, hard fought, in which I I really enjoyed because I could score in the semifinal and final, and that’s crown us champions. ”

Then, the canary analyzed the new edition to be held in Japan in less than a month: “We know that teams compete very hard.’s Santos of Brazil, which is very dramatic and has a very nice football. Nor should we forget the Monterrey, the Mexican teams are very seasoned but very quick to go against. ”

Asked about the star of Santos, Neymar, Pedrito spoke with admiration. ”I have been fortunate to play against him. I know it’s a very quick player who is comfortable sticking to the band, has a good hit with both legs and pretty goal. It’s a brilliant player and will be taken into account, no doubt, “he said the canary, aware that Neymar will be the main threat to repeat the success of two years ago.
