‘The Invincibles’ Arsenal team best I have ever played in: Fabregas

London, Apr 20(ANI): Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has said that ‘The Invincibles’ team of 2003-04 is the best that he has ever played in.
Fabregas also drew a stark contrast between the experience of the ‘Invincible’ team and the current generation of players, who have been unable to end the club’s trophy drought since the 2005 FA Cup.
“The Invincibles team is the best I have ever played in. I was in a winning team. You felt that if you had a bad game, nothing happened because your teammates helped you. Those players made you better,” the Telegraph quoted Fabregas, as saying.
“Now a lot has changed, and I am the man that everyone looks to. If I play badly, I take responsibility and the pressure of the supporters. It is not something I am used to, but I am captain, so it is reality.”
“Only me and Van Persie remain of that generation, and we have a lot of responsibility. I am only 23. I still have a long way to go. Before there were reference points, winning, strong players and playing with them you learned faster,” he added.
Fabregas is also adamant that he would never leave for another English club.
“Who says you will play in your new team? Or that you will develop?” the 23-year-old said.
“Here I have a lot of luck on a personal level - despite not winning a lot - and I am doing very well. If one day I leave Arsenal, it will never be to sign for another English club. That is for certain,” he added. (ANI)
