Special Fabregas and Disappointing Henry
I think I have been one of the people most excited by the emergence of Cesc Fabregas. I remember the first time I saw him, at the age-group championships and I could scarcely believe how good he actually was and I quietly hoped he would come to Arsenal. And he did.
But if there ever was a player who deserved to become the next leader of Arsenal this is it. He is a leader in the fashion of the American Football quarterbacks. He directs a midfield through play. Now he is still only 18 so perhaps he is a bit too young to impose himself on players. But this is not only a highly skilled but highly motivated player. A lot of people will talk up Rooney or Messi who both are very very special players but you have to put Fabregas in that category. His leadership qualities in an offensive play are exceptional. Of course it would be helped if Thierry Henry led the line but he is putting in a special effort.
The disappointment for me has been Thierry. Now I am a fan of the great man as much as the next person but he has let the team down this term. I remember watching an Andriy Schvchenko interview on ESPN's Soccernet Press Pass in which he said that in a team where the players are not so good the great player in them has to do more and carry on more responsibility for the team. Now I am not in way attacking the effort of Henry but I am doubting it. Can we honestly say that he has taken on more responsibility especially in a leadership capacity? I dont think so.
