The Premier League champions have struggled to put
together a string of wins, but the midfielder isn't overly
concerned as long as they finish well
Cesc Fabregas claims Chelsea players aren't "babies"
following a poor start to the season and he does not
think some silverware is now out of reach.
The Blues have won just two of their first seven Premier
League games of the new campaign in a stark contrast
to their rampant form in 2014-15 which saw them storm
to the title.
Ahead of Chelsea's visit to Porto on Tuesday in the
Champions League, Fabregas stressed that it's more
important to finish in fine form and insisted manager
Jose Mourinho hasn't allowed them to take their foot
off the gas.
"It's not how it starts, it's how it ends," the central
midfielder told reporters. "You have to compete to the
maximum every single game.
"Last season wasn't easy. It might have looked like it,
but it wasn't. This isn't complacency. The manager
wouldn't allow it.
"We are not babies. We have to start performing.
There's no reason we can't win the league again. We can
do better. We will do better. We have to start from now."
Zlatan Ibrahimovic memorably described Chelsea as
"babies" last season when the Blues' complaints over a
challenge led to the Paris Saint-Germain striker being
sent off in the first leg of their last-16 Champions
League tie.
Chelsea won their opening Champions League group
stage game 4-0 against Maccabi Tel Aviv a fortnight
ago but, following a battling win over Arsenal, drew 2-2
with Newcastle United on Saturday.
