Cesc Fabregas needs to overcome his mental problem: Arsene Wenger
The French boss of Arsenal believes that his talismanic skipper, Cesc Fabregas, needs to overcome his mental problem when playing against top clubs.
Arsene Wenger believes Fabregas is always worried about his hamstring injury which he sustained earlier in the season. Wenger said that Cesc had a little bit of a mental problem. The Frenchman added that it is a restriction when
Cesc comes on because his hamstring is in his head.
The longest-serving manager of Arsenal said, "It is hard to overcome if you have a recurrence of injuries. It plays a part until you get rid of it completely. He played 30 minutes at Manchester United, that helped him but during that 30 minutes he was not himself
completely. But now it looks to have gone. That comes with practising every day. Cesc is the leader of our team. But we've always been like that here - we focus more on the team performance rather than one's shoulders because that would not be right."
Earlier this month, the Spanish skipper of Arsenal expressed concern about Arsenal’s big-game showings, as he maintained the Gunners were “scared.” But Arsenal manager believes his players should see this as a chance to right their wrongs.
Wenger said, "We need a big win, yes, Of course. It is certainly something that will speed up the maturing of the team. But we had an opportunity to win the championship in recent years and OK, we didn't win it. But we are in a strong position now, why should
we worry whether we can do it or not? It's down to the fact that the team wants to do so well, they are so keen to prove everybody wrong that it creates a little bit of a handbrake feeling in the team. But we will naturally get rid of that slowly.”
