Gas pressure is too high - Arsene
Posted Saturday, April 30, 2011 by The Sun
ARSENE WENGER says Cesc Fabregas has taken too much pressure on himself trying to win Arsenal a trophy.
Skipper Fabregas, who will be 24 next week, was given the armband to persuade him to stay and Wenger worries it has all got too much for him.
There is fresh speculation the Spanish midfielder will quit this summer.
But boss Wenger insisted Fabregas will stay and remain as skipper and said: "It is too much pressure for Cesc at his age. I believe so.
"He is the captain of the team and Robin van Persie is vice captain and they put a lot of pressure on themselves.
"Cesc is a winner. He is desperate to win games. And of course when it does not work, he is frustrated.
"Once it goes well he will grow with it as well. Every difficulty in life will make you stronger, especially when you have a strong character. And he is a strong character.
"Maybe this season is a bit of a heavy burden.
"I believe this team has been educated and grown together. They are very young. The biggest achievement for them will be to win together.
"They have been criticised a lot and, at the moment, they do not get the credit they deserve."
