Cesc: matured at Arsenal

Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas believes he has matured a great deal at the club in recent seasons. Cesc has been crucial this season for the Gunners, bagging seven goals in 23 games.

"I have grown up a lot since I joined Arsenal, but especially in the last year. Defensively I feel much more responsible," Fabregas said in the March issue of the Official Arsenal Magazine.

"It is true that before, I was playing more for myself, a little bit individually to see if people were talking about me. Maybe I wanted to show more of my own stuff, but now I don't care. It is completely different.

"I realise I am playing more for the team. If I'm not man of the match, if I'm not player of the month anymore I don't care, because I know I'm doing extra positive things for the team and now that gives me the most pleasure."
