Denilson me and Cesc Fabregas are Fab pals, really
DENILSON says there is no rift with his “great friend” Cesc Fabregas and moved to clarify his statements about Arsenal’s leadership on the pitch.
In an interview with Brazilian television, Denilson, 22, revealed he felt the Gunners “lack leadership”, claiming “Fabregas is the captain, but he is not a leader to me”.
Spain World Cup-winner Fabregas insisted there was no disharmony within the Arsenal camp and posted a photo of the duo smiling, giving the thumbs up, on Twitter as they travelled by train to Leeds.
Denilson says there is no rift with his “great friend” Cesc Fabregas
Denilson said: “Fabregas is a great friend. When I said the team had no leadership it was to point out that Arsenal have a very young squad and sometimes lack a more experienced person, as it had for many years with Gilberto Silva for example.
“I am a shy guy, I do not like controversy and problems. I have talked with Fabregas and everything is resolved.”
