Fabregas and Nike CTR360 - What the Papers Say...
After all the excitement, hype and debate it didn't take long for the football to do the talking. Fabregas' sublime and exceptional display against Blackburn must go down as one of the most emphatic new football boot debuts ever *
The final score and the performance showcased the new Nike CTR360 to the fullest, and boot spotters couldn't have asked for a better demonstration of "receive, control and distribute" than the Arsenal captain's efforts. But don't just take our word for it, check outwhat the papers had to say...
Exceptional display of football artistry, intelligence and desire. The Spaniard scored a wonderful goal and had a hand in most of the others - The Guardian
Fabregas delivered a rare 10 out of 10 performance, the finest of his career without doubt. He played the game of his life making four goals, scored a scorcher and also struck the bar before walking off to a standing ovation - The Sun
Cesc was unplayable and untouchable and the bare statistics only begin to do the 22-year-old justice. Fabregas laid on the final pass for four Arsenal goals and got on the scoresheet himself. - The Independant
Cesc Fabregas played his best ever game in an Arsenal shirt as he set up four and scored a spectacular goal of his own. This was as good as it gets - Daily Mirror
"This was one of FÀbregas s most breathtaking performances. Before being substituted to a standing ovation, he set up four goals and scored one after five attempts on target." - The Times
And a couple of choice quotes from the blogs...
"If a player ever deserved a goal... twice Cesc Fabregas tries to play little passes (shall we call them Cescy passes?) on the edge of the Rovers box, and twice it doesn't quite come off. He can't be bothered to try again, so he swings a left-foot volley into the top corner from 20 yards. Magical. He's been absolutely magical today." - 606 BBC Matchday Live
"Cesc was the master magician. A world class performance. Playing a couple of games with Arshavin, Rosicky and RVP has put the spring back into his step. Now that's pure quality..." - Arsenal Mania
Before the 2009/10 campaign kicked off, Nike asked their top athletes to pledge to Make the Difference this season. Fabregas' answer was simple - "Trophies." If he keeps up these kind of performances, he will do more than honour that pledge...
*although we reckon Cristiano Ronaldo and the Vapor IV might have something to say about that...
