官网原文：http://kuso.cc/3AYo 'He's magnificent and will keep on improving' It's Fabregas Week on Arsenal.com as we celebrate the man who claimed our Player of the Season award. Fabregas has emerged as the fulcrum of the Arsenal side since Thierry Henry's departure and added a new dimension to his play last season - goals. Still just 21, Fabregas is already one of the finest midfielders in the world. Here, six former Gunners give their assessment of the Spanish star and explain why he is so important to Arsene Wenger's team. "He is a fantastic player and started off last season like a house on fire, scoring goals after the previous season when he couldn’t hit a barn door at times. His goals dried up a little bit but he is such a fantastic talent that he can play to half of his potential and still dictate a game. The great thing is he will still get better. I think when anybody is subjected to the first-team and the level of football like he has been, they will improve. Strength-wise he has improved too and I think he still has a bit in him, not in terms of height but in terms of filling out. He has come on in leaps and bounds in that direction but also he has that experience now. He has the confidence to demand the ball, to grab a game by the scruff of the neck and dictate it. He is a born leader." by Alan Smith "He has been fantastic. It was a big season for him after Henry left and it gave Cesc more to do within the team and he stepped up. He has matured. We all knew his potential when he was 15; he had the touch and that desire as well. Last season he got forward a lot more and is scoring goals - that was probably lacking a bit before. Last year 12 goals was a good return for him. Flamini helped in that because he did a lot of hard work in midfield but, all-round, Cesc has improved. His passing is fantastic and he still has the desire and doesn’t mind putting a tackle in. He had a great season." by Ray Parlour "He had a terrific season. Cesc is so good on the ball, so creative, and had such an explosive start with a few goals. That is why he stood out maybe more than others. When you get to see these players on a regular basis you can tell they have quality. There was no doubt he would be fantastic and of course he will keep on improving." by Nigel Winterburn "He's a magnificent player. He's not a great dribbler of the ball but he always makes the right decision when the ball comes to him. He's got a good range of passing, he found an almost telepathic understanding with Adebayor, and he got forward more and scored more goals last season. He linked up play and showed more energy, he has proved he is athletic enough to be a world-class midfielder. Would he score enough goals to warrant comparison with the likes of Michel Platini? Well, he is getting that way now. I think most aspects of his game have improved." by Stewart Robson "It is thoroughly deserved; he has added goals to his game this year. People could put to him that he wasn’t scoring enough last season. Arsene probably gave him more license to get involved and with Flamini playing so well in the holding role he was able to do that. His finishing has improved and he has become more influential through the whole game whereas before his influence was more spasmodic. When the going gets tough he has to be a little more keen to close people down, win the ball back. He does do that and you need the 'nasty' side of the game when you are a midfielder. His goals tally improved but they did dry up towards the end of the season so maybe he can add consistency in that area. Cesc is world-class already and it is frightening to think how good he will be." by Perry Groves "When he was first introduced to the team at a very tender age, you were waiting for that little dip in form that you get with youngsters, but he has just improved with every game. The blip never came. His patience and his awareness is excellent and we must not forget his early-season goalscoring exploits. He discovered that he could score from outside the box and was prepared to have a dip. He is now the main focus of the side." by Terry Neill ----------------------------------- 中文: http://sports.163.com/08/0708/22/4GC42G5B00051CCU.html 网易体育 兵工厂官方网站宣布，西班牙中场塞斯克-法布雷加斯荣膺07/08赛季最佳球员。 这是继06/07赛季以超过60％的得票率当选後， 小法连续两个赛季蝉联兵工厂赛季最佳球员。 法布雷加斯在过去的一个赛季俨然成为了酋长球场的领袖，他是球队的支点。 在亨利离开後他担负了进球的重责，上赛季，兵工厂在英超打入74球， 法布雷加斯攻入7球并直接助攻19球。 虽然只有21岁，但法布雷加斯已经被公认为是全世界最出色的中场球员之一。 兵工厂官方网站刊登了六位枪手名宿对小法的评价并试图阐述西班牙中场 对兵工厂的重要性。 阿兰-史密斯（Alan Smith，1987-1995效力於兵工厂） 「塞斯克是一位无与伦比的球员，从上赛季开始他就像一座燃烧的房子，炙热而澎湃， 从前一个赛季几乎很难打中门框到上赛季进了很多球，进步很大。 虽然赛季中後段小法的进球能力枯竭，但即使只有一半状态，他仍然能够控制比赛， 最重要的是他还在不断进步。我相信所有能够参加这样高水准比赛的球员都能够取得 进步，小法也是如此，他的长进不在於身高而是成熟。 法布雷加斯的进步可以用跳跃和飞跃来形容，他现在还拥有了重要的经验。 塞斯克现在可以自如地操控球，紧握比赛的咽喉，他是一位天生的领导者。」 雷蒙-帕洛尔（Raymond Parlour，1992–2004效力於兵工厂） 「法布雷加斯是一位梦幻的球员，在亨利离开後小法肩膀上的重担日增， 但他很好地驾驭了球队并取得了长足的进步，小法已经成熟了。 早在他15岁的时候，我们已经了解他那可怕的潜力，还有他对比赛的渴望。 上赛季，塞斯克更加靠前并打进了很多个进球，而这正是之前他所缺乏的。 在费拉米尼的协助下，小法以12个进球宣告了王者归来，这是他的巨大进步。 塞斯克还拥有传出手术刀般精准直塞的功夫，他还不介意承担中场防守工作， 真是一位全能的球员，他度过了一个美妙的赛季。」 尼格尔-温特伯恩(Nigel Winterburn，1987–2000效力於兵工厂) 「这是一个精彩的赛季，小法的触感太好了，创造性很强，而且打进了很多进球， 这也是小法比其他球员更瞩目的原因。当你从普通层面来看待这些球员的时候， 他们都很有天赋。毫无疑问，法布雷加斯还会继续进步，变得更加强大。」 斯图尔特-罗布森(Stewart Robson，1981–1986效力於兵工厂) 「塞斯克是一位华丽的球员，盘球并不是他的强项，但他凭藉出色的意识总是能够判断 来球的方向。小法拥有很广阔的传球视野，他和阿德巴约之间存在心灵感应， 总是能够预知对方的跑位，最重要的一点是他可以为球队建功了。 小法在比赛中表现出来的活力足以证明他够资格成为一位世界级的球星。 小法可以被用来与普拉蒂尼相提并论吗？ 虽为时尚早，但他已经在往这方面努力。」 佩里-格罗夫斯（Perry Groves，1986-1992效力於兵工厂） 「法布雷加斯荣膺最佳完全是实至名归。小法上赛季进球数提高了很多， 人们再也无法用攻击力弱来批评他。他与费拉米尼的中场组合威力无穷， 温格给了他足够的自由来操控比赛。塞斯克进步的地方在於他变得越来越有统治力， 而之前他的这种优势总是间歇性的。随着比赛变得不利， 法布雷加斯应该承担起鼓舞士气的作用，把球抢回来， 有时候，中场球员需要有‘狠’的一面。在下半赛季，小法的进球灵感似乎枯竭了， 这个弱点是他在今後需要切实提高的。法布雷加斯已经是一位世界级球员， 无法估量他的极限在哪里。」 特里-尼尔(Terry Neill，1959-1970年效力於兵工厂，1976-1983成为枪手主教练) 「当法布雷加斯还是一位预备队球员的时候，你可能会对他抱有期望， 但你无法想像小法每场比赛都在进步。他的耐性和非凡的意识是多麽美妙， 而且他不能忘记上半赛季是如何为球队攻城拔寨的。 塞斯克知道自己可以在禁区外射门得分，而他也愿意尝试这样做， 他已经是兵工厂的中场灵魂了。」 --
