CESC FÀBREGAS TALKED WITH CATALUNYA RADIO -

"I am quite calm and confident at the moment. I want to win titles with Barça - La Liga, the Champions League,... and I want to feel important again. Last year, I felt a part of the one hundred points that we chalked up in the league, and this gave me the confidence to start this season sure of myself. However, to be successful in Barça, you have to play at a high level for two or three years."

He is aware of the criticism that has been said about him: "I have heard thousands of things and I must say that sometimes I just don't get what is said about me. At the beginning with Martino, I didn't start, but I have little by little shown him what I can do, and for his part he has trusted me more and more."

His take on the new manager is a good one: "He talks to you a lot when you do things well, as he does when you do them badly, and this helps me a lot. When you're feeling down and he comes up to you to talk to you. He does it with everyone, and it's very good for the players. The gaffer, like Del Bosque, is a very natural person. A person that never blows things out of proportion, and this helps the team, and also the journalists." About Neymar: "He has the character and cockiness of the greats".

He is not interested in the offers he has received: "What I want is to be with Barça. To win with Barça and be there for many years. I want to stay and one day be an idol. I will fight for that and win many Ligas and Champions Leagues with Barça."
