Style of Play

A true midfield general, Fabregas controls the pace of the game and sets up beautiful attacking play through his passes and through balls, which always seem to reach his team-mates. Having signed a deal with sports brand, Puma a few years back, he plays his football in a pair of Puma EvoPOWER boots. He is an organizing midfielder and key attributes of his that really stand out in the game are his ball control, passing and most of all, his vision. He seems to sense where the game is going to move even before it does, or find spaces for team-mates to run in. Most players he has played with over the years say that he sees football too fast. Besides his superior vision, Fabregas is mature and combative on the field of play, and is also feared by keepers for his goal-scoring instinct, particularly from long range strikes.
