“Robin van Persie and Samir Nasri were the only players who were at my level, both technically and mentally. And it’s not arrogant to say how I felt at that time. “ Cesc Fabregas’ comments Sky Sports a few days ago did not please everyone. This is particularly the case of Bacary Sagna (37), another Arsenal player when the Spaniard played there (2003-2011). The Frenchman answered his former teammate on Goal.com and he is not tender with him, accusing him of not always having set a good example.
“It surprised me because he was supposed to be one of the team leaders. He was a great hope, a leader and a real player but as such we shouldn’t talk like that about his club. It also surprised me a bit because he’s a good guy. Arsenal allowed him to play so to say that some players were not at his level, it was a bit hard because I’m not sure that in all the seasons he played at the club, he was always a exemplary player. Yes, he’s a great player, with great qualities, but maybe some people expected more from him. “ explained the former side of the Gunners (2007-2014).
