Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho believes that playing in-front of Cesc Fabregas is a "dream" for his new striker Diego Costa, who has set the Premier League on-fire with 7 goals in his first 4 matches in English football - a record!
The Blues beat Swansea 4-2 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon, with Costa getting a hat-trick to his name in another top performance from the Spanish forward, and Fabregas helped assist 2 of Costa's goals.
Mourinho had this to say: "To play with Fabregas is the dream of every striker, the guy sees the movement, sees the pass, is not selfish, makes always the right choice."
Fabregas, who sparked controversy just days before the start of the World Cup this summer after agreeing a deal in excess of £30million pounds to join London rivals Chelsea from Barcelona - despite flourishing at Arsenal and becoming a pivotal role in their midfield before he left the club in 2011 to re-join his boyhood club, who sold him as a teenager with means to get him back under their wing.
His form started to decline as a result of the rampant transfer rumours, and he was consequently replaced by Sevilla playmaker Ivan Rakitic as reports suggested he was on the move back to the Premier League. He has done what many fans see as treason, going to a rival club in the same city, especially because they are fierce title rivals also.
What did Cesc have to say after his double assist show against Swansea? This: "Just trying to do my job, that's it. We have a good team, strong, young with a lot of courage. We showed it again." - Chelsea supporters will be hoping this will be their year, as they try to win the league title for the first time in over 5 years, could Costa be the man who was the missing link a few years ago?
