Addressing pre-match personnel decisions, the manager was questioned regarding his choice to start Chelsea-owned goalkeeper Robert Sanchez over Jean Butez.
“I don’t know. I woke up this morning… No I’m kidding. There are reasons, but I would prefer this to stay between us, because it is not something we want to talk about outside,”Fabregas responded.
