Chelsea midfielder Cesc hints at Conte frustration over positional switch

Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has taken a veiled dig at manager Antonio Conte.

Cesc has hinted he was played out of position last season.

While doing punditry for the BBC, he compared his role to that Kevin de Bruyne has been asked to play for Belgium.

"Especially for Belgium now, [De Bruyne] plays a little bit deeper," Cesc said.

"I am not a big fan of this because he is so good and he can deliver so much in the final third that I think here you are taking a bit too much from his game.

"He has to be too much disciplined, it happened to me over the last two years, you are a bit more restricted in this position.

"It is like you are telling your best creative player to not be creative."
