Fabregas: Messi 'from another world'

Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas praised his teammate Lionel Messi after the latter's treble goals in the 5-4 win over Deportivo La Coruna on Saturday. "Messi comes from a long journey with the national team and is always here," the 25-year-old former Arsenal captain Fabregas said after the match. "He gives us a lot. Indeed, he understands all." The world’s best player of the year hit his 21st Barcelona hat-trick as Jordi Alba and Cristian Tello scored the other goals for Barca, who had Javier Mascherano sent off in the 48th minute, while a Pizzi double, an Alex Bergantinos strike and an Alba own-goal kept the home side in the game. "Messi is from another world," Fabregas added. "These things [red cards] happen in football. We need to analyse whether or not it was a penalty or a red card. But we were very good in that game. The important thing was the three points." "I have always believed in our chances. I've always been quiet and I have worked hard. I've prepared very well and I will keep working. The coach makes the decisions," he said.   Fabregas added: "I was very comfortable and when I was replaced by Xavi, what remained was to sit and clap. His position has made me feel comfortable, the ball was over, [there was] more connection and I have always played in this position since childhood. It favours my game." Messi now has 11 league goals, two more than Cristiano Ronaldo who earlier scored for Real Madrid in a 2-0 win over Celta Vigo that kept Madrid right behind the Catalan side. From: Ahram Online
