Cesc Fàbregas Is a Brilliant Interviewee

What was it that set Arsène Wenger apart from other managers? Was Cesc really aiming for Fergie with that pepperoni pizza in the tunnel at Old Trafford? How did he end up spending hours in a police station after a night out at the 2006 World Cup in Germany?

Gary is joined by the brilliant Cesc Fàbregas to discuss the early days of his career with Barcelona & Arsenal and why he now wishes he’d waited longer to leave the Gunners.

Lineker is such a good interviewer. It really helps that he speaks Spanish too. Really enjoyed the episode

[cb_jackal]

Gary Lineker is a very good interviewer. Asks good questions and lets the guest talk.

[cheezmunsta]

Cesc was my hero as a kid growing up as an Arsenal fan. Seeing his rise through the team to eventually being the captain at such a young age. Broke my heart when he left

[CozyHumanoid]

Fk, I am really old. I watched Cesc very first senior game at Arsenal and now Im watching him do a podcast as a manager.

Congratulations to Gary for such a great interview with Cesc - obviously knows him well and therefore asks the right questions, then sits back and listens to his response. Two great Footballers who both respect each other. I could listen to these two talk all day. Wishing Cesc the best with his coaching career.

One of the best interviews I've seen, perfect pacing and questions from Gary.

As an Arsenal fan, Cesc is one of my favourite ever players (even after the Chelsea situation) wish him the best as a manager

Fabregas is genuinely a really underrated player. I think he’s really unlucky being born in the same era as Iniesta and Xavi otherwise I think he’d have played long term for Barca and have been a bigger part of that dominant Spain team.

Legendary Cesc one of the greatest midfielders of the EPL

[MartinKillips]

I loved watching him in his playing days and I love listening to him in his talking days.

Lineker was and is a class act!

When i was a kid, i saw news of fabregas joining chelsea and thats how i started following chelsea..
And i cried when he left in 2018..
Miss u cesc💙

Brilliant chat.
Cesc had the intelligence to realise that coaching is a new career and you need to earn your place at the highest level all over again.
This is something top English players need to realise if they want to transition to coaching once their playing days are over.

When starting a new career, no level is beneath you!

When Fabregas signed for Arsenal, I remember my mate saying how great he was. I asked him why Barca might have sold him; being as good as we had heard and being so young. He looked at me, and said they have another youngster by the name of Messi.

One of my favourite footballers ever and one of the best in Premier League history. Incredible on the ball. I remember the solo goal Vs Spurs and the assist Vs Burnley which are two of the best goals and assist I've seen. People forget Spain won the Euros with him in a false 9 position as well.

[rahulagarwal]

One of my all time favourites, an all time legend of a midfielder who made me fall in love with football. The 2010 world cup was when I started watching first and that Spanish team with Iniesta, Villa, Cesc was just unbelievable! Thanks Gary for the amazing piece!

[Chris-Oyema]

Love the insight of Lineker. His questions, and allowing the guest to talk without the need to interrupt is phenomenal. The guest list just keep getting better.

[mronetwo]

I have been following Como since he joined. What a great story and I feel the future of the club is bright

[victorythroughharmony]

Grateful to have witnessed a young Fabregas' emergence into the Arsenal squad.

One of the best young midfielders I've ever seen in terms of his ability and maturity on the ball.

Literally never gave the ball away and always found space when it seemed it wasn't there. Amazing passing ability and vision.

[D-Gunners]

Cesc Fabregas made me fall in love with football and Arsenal Football Club. Legend!

[KelzMon]

What a player man. Legend. Great pundit too 👍🏻🇮🇪
