Chelsea 1-0 Barcelona - A Concerned Fabregas (18.4.2012)<br /><br />The midfielder believes Di Matteo has gone back to basics with the Londoners, playing the high-tempo, long-ball game which made them so successful over the past decade. <br />And he insists Chelsea are a far more dangerous outfit playing that way, rather than the continental approach ex-manager Andre Villas-Boas tried to introduce. <br />'With Villas-Boas, they tried to control the ball, they wanted to take the initiative,' said Fabregas, ahead of the Champions League semi-final, first leg. <br />'Now they are back to a style which made them great, which made them win the Premier League. <br />'They play long balls now, everyone in the area, everyone going forward when they have the ball. With players like Didier Drogba, they are a very dangerous side.' <br />The former Arsenal man also aimed a thinly veiled barb at old boss Arsene Wenger, insisting he is a far better player now he has left. <br />'I have learned so much, especially at a tactical level,' he said. <br />'I position myself much better on the pitch. I was not very good tactically, I simply played wherever I wanted.'<br /><br />/football on Youtube brings you the latest football news, transfer rumours and footballing gossip from the English Premier League and European Champions League.<br /><br />Tags:<br />Fabregas "Cesc fabregas" "roberto di matteo" "di matteo" Chelsea Barcelona "champions league" europa lampard drogba torres terry "Stamford Bridge" puyol messi fabregas villa "press conference" interview "football news"
