Chelsea team-mate backs Cesc Fabregas to win over Stamford Bridge crowd

Pedro has backed Cesc Fabregas to win over the Chelsea fans

 

PEDRO believes Cesc Fabregas can win over the Chelsea fans if he stays at Stamford Bridge.

 

Fabregas was booed by the Blues fans during Saturday's 3-1 home win over Sunderland.

They accused him and Diego Costa of undermining Jose Mourinho and contributing to the Portuguese manager’s sacking.

But his team-mate Pedro insists Fabregas, who joined Chelsea for £30million in June 2014, will prove his loyalty to the west London club as they bid to turn their poor form around under new boss Guus Hiddink.

"It was difficult for him but he can get through this," Pedro told the Evening Standard.

 

"He is strong mentally and very competitive.

"Cesc is a top player, a very good character in the team, he is a winner and it's good he plays for us.

"I understand why the fans are so upset. It's normal when the team and coach are in this position.

"They [the fans] have always been with us, together. I don't say anything against them, they are part of us."
