Jose Mourinho, Manager of Chelsea football Club has disclosed that Barcelona did not understand Cesc Fabregas during his time with the Catalans.
Mourinho observed that he has been surprised by Fabregas' personality since he joined the Premier League outfit this summer, whilst he also believes the Spain international was not fully appreciated in his time at Barcelona.
"He's a better person than I thought, a fantastic guy, a fantastic professional. He's a player I knew from Barcelona however, people there obviously didn't understand how good he was because sometimes he was playing in positions he wasn’t suited to.
"However, I knew several years ago he was a top player," Chelsea boss told ITV.
Mourinho could not keep his silence anymore after Fabregas notched his first Chelsea goal last weekend in a 2-1 win at Crystal Palace.
