Cesc: I could never imagine playing for Chelsea boss Mourinho

Cesc Fabregas admits joining Chelsea was the last thing on his mind three years ago.

The former Arsenal captain hasn't looked back since his arrival from Barcelona in the summer.

"Three years ago I wouldn't have imagined working under (Jose) Mourinho," said Fabregas.

"But life has many turns, and more so in football. We had a big rivalry with Mourinho but I never hated him. Chelsea was the team I wanted to beat the most. I also had a lot of spats with John Terry but in the end, we are people. I'm not driven by hate."
