Fabregas: It's tough under Conte

The Spaniard scored in the match against Leicester City the two goals. He hasn't made this season any appearance in the Premier League so far but was part of the EFL Cup squad.

The 29-year-old hopes that critics will stop. "The team were fantastic. Hopefully this will shut up", he said.

The Spaniard keeps complaining and admits that the situation is complicated. "It's a new situation for me in my career after 13 years of basically playing all the time for my club and national team".

It's been a "though" time: "I'm not going to deny it. But the last thing I will do is complain or put my hands up and give in.

"Something from inside is coming out stronger than ever and I just feel like a little boy in training trying to win my spot back as I used to do at Arsenal when I was 16. Hopefully I will achieve it again.

"My coach deserves respect because I know he wants to win and if he doesn't play me there is always a reason.

"Hopefully I can open his eyes and make him see that I deserve to play". Let's see if he improves.
