Chelsea's Fabregas not bothered by apparent lack of form

Cesc Fabregas does not agree with recent criticism of his dip in form for Chelsea.

The Spanish midfielder was irresistible for the Blues in the first half of the season but his numbers have dropped dramatically in the past few months.

Some pundits have suggested that perhaps Fabregas is not performing at his best but the former Arsenal and Barcelona star obviously doesn't agree.

"I am going through a great moment, both personally and athletic. I have no reason not to be happy. I enjoy everything that happens to me," he said.

"I am practically playing every minute for my team and that's what makes me happy. To be important is fundamental. Now we have to fight hard for the Premier League to end a great year.

"I do not think I've lost my place in the team because I've never been undisputed, the important thing is the team and if the coach does not put you, it is because they are better."
