First Ronaldo, now Fabregas... Barca midfielder unhappy with Nou Camp life
Posted Wednesday, September 05, 2012 by Dailymail
Cesc Fabregas has admitted his frustration over his recent inconsistent performances for Barcelona.
The Spain international midfielder, who revealed his frustration at not playing every minute of every game, was substituted only 63 minutes into Barca's narrow victory over Valencia on Sunday.
Despite starting all three Primera Division games so far this term, Fabregas remains far from happy playing a cameo role for his boyhood club, having returned to the Nou Camp last summer for £30million after eight years at Arsenal.
Upset: Cesc Fabregas takes his 'unhappy face' home with him
His complaint echoes that of Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who refused to celebrate his brace against Granada due to feeling 'sad' for 'professional reasons'.
Fabregas told Radio Marca: 'There's no such thing as a great substitute in the world of football.
'I couldn't tell you what makes a great substitute.
'I always wish my team-mates well and put a happy face on.
'If I have to take my unhappy face home then so be it, but I would never let my team-mates or manager see it.'
The versatile 25-year-old competes for a starting berth in the centre of the park with Andres Iniesta, Xavi, Sergio Busquets and new recruit Alex Song, his former Gunners team-mate.
