Cesc Fabregas admits it is more satisfying to assist a goal than to score one and he has learned to like manager Jose Mourinhos imposing methods at Chelsea Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas believes there is something more satisfying than scoring a goal on a football pitch - providing for one. The former Arsenal&Barcelona star has revealed he has always felt more satisfaction having assisted a strike for 1 of his team-mates than he has when finding the back of the net himself. Spain intnl Fabregas has enjoyed a wonderful start to life at Chelsea&he will head to Old Trafford with the rest of the Blues squad to take on Man United in a key clash on Sunday. Fabregas,speaking to Champions,the official magazine of the UEFA Champions League,said: Whenever they asked me in interviews if I preferred scoring or providing an assist,I would always say an assist. There is nothing quite like scoring a goal. Scoring goals is the most beautiful part of football,but I have always identified myself with&enjoyed providing the final ball. Only the people who know how to play the final pass for a goal know what it feels like,&I feel immense joy when a goal is scored from my pass. Putting the striker through 1-v-1 with the keeper is enormously satisfying. Life at Stamford Bridge appears bright right now for Fabregas,who has scored twice&assisted 9goals in his 11 Premier League&Champions League appearances so far. He has forged a wonderful relationship with striker Diego Costa,with the pair helping Chelsea to the top of the table. But the 27yrs-old has admitted it took him a little time to adjust to Blues boss Jose Mourinhos methods - although now he has fully embraced the Portugueses philosophy&is ready to prosper at the Bridge. He continued: At the start I found it tough in training with a coach like Mourinho,who is a bit more imposing. Be well-positioned. Drop off. Support the players behind you,do not lose the ball”. (But now) I really like it. — #HAZARDOUS
