During an appearance on the Arsecast digital broadcast , Fabregas talked for a long time about his time in north London and his explanations behind leaving for Barcelona in 2011.

The Spaniard scrutinized the mindset of a portion of his previous partners and conceded he felt that lone Van Persie and Nasri were on a similar frequency as him, both as far as their strategy and their attitude.

"I was the commander, I generally felt such a great amount of weight on myself," said Fabregas, who is presently playing his football with Monaco. "I needed to lead this group to win something. I gave everything.

"Now and then, I used to return home after we lost and I used to cry, I used to endure, I used to spend restless evenings languishing.

"And afterward you lose a game, you're in the transport this way, decimated, and afterward you hear a few players snickering, pondering where they will be going out later.

"This was continuing for a couple of years. Definitely, we were playing excellent football and I appreciated that side of things.

"Yet, I was squeezing myself to lead, to do everything, and at one point I felt sort of desolate.

"Particularly in the last a few years, I felt Robin and Samir were the main players who were at my level intellectually and in fact.

"It is anything but a haughty comment, it's the manner by which I felt around then."

Be that as it may, those remarks have not gone down well with Sagna, Arsenal's previous right-back who was a partner of Fabregas from 2007 until 2011, when the midfielder constrained through his transition to Barcelona.

Talking only to Goal , the France universal - who was named in the Premier League group of the year in 2008 and 2011 - conceded he had been left astounded by Fabregas' perspectives.

"So I was shocked in light of the fact that he is a decent person, he's as yet a pleasant person, this doesn't transform anything. Be that as it may, I was somewhat astounded.

"Munititions stockpile made him so saying that a few players were not at his level was somewhat unforgiving on the grounds that I don't know out of the considerable number of seasons he was playing at the club, he was constantly an excellent player.

"Around then the press was discussing him not running enough or following back. So different players could have said 'you ought to be running more or accomplishing more'.

"In the event that you take a gander at Liverpool today, every one of them are running. This is a group. What's more, perhaps, in light of the fact that we didn't have the correct soul around then we didn't make this little additional push, or make that little additional rush to follow players, possibly this is the explanation we didn't win."

Sagna included: "Clearly in the group, we as a whole have various levels. Some will be acceptable truly, others will be acceptable in fact, however this isn't motivation to talk in that manner about different players.

"I don't concur with that announcement. It's his assessment and he's entitlement to have a supposition, however we as a whole have great minutes and awful minutes in our profession and I don't know he generally had extraordinary minutes with Arsenal.
