04:44 – Wingers and strikers

After 20 years as a player at the top end of the game, Cesc Fàbregas made his first steps into coaching at Italian side Como. Having led youth and reserve teams for the Serie B side, the former Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea star made the step up to interim head coach in November 2023.

As a player, Fàbregas worked under some of the most prominent coaches in the game, including Arsène Wenger, Pep Guardiola, José Mourinho, Vicente del Bosque and Antonio Conte.

In this exclusive Masterclass with The Coaches’ Voice, filmed in May 2023, he gives us an insight into how he wants his teams to build up from the back to create attacks. Using a 4-2-2-2 system, Fàbregas runs through the roles and responsibilities for players in each position, reveals the obsession for playing forwards that he inherited from Wenger, and explains why he sees the midfield as key to the game.

It’s a brilliant insight into the philosophy of an exciting young coach, who will now be putting his learning to the test on the grass. We hope you enjoy it.

  1. So he created a system which would have been perfect for him 😅
    But he will need someone like Messi and himself to build this team at the highest level. These two 9,5 (number 10 and strikers at the same time) need to be really clever, technically perfect, fast and good goal scorers.

  2. Just imagine Cesc following Xabi Alonso's path. Imagine Xabi managing Madrid and Cesc managing Barça simultaneously. It would no doubt be amazing to watch.

  3. I remember being a kid and seeing fabregas wearing arsenal #4, i loved the way he played so much that i started wearing that as my jersey number even as a winger lol

  4. Good to see that somebody still thinks about the strikers as "number 10s" because nowadays seems like that type of players are slowly disappearing.
    I also think that modern wingers need to be more "balanced" (instead of just being "go inside and shoot with your strong foot"): being able to support the team in both offense and defense makes huge difference, and playing wider on offense can create big spaces for modern FBs to go inside the box (seeing it quite often in AC Milan with Leao often playing wide and Theo Hernandez pushing inside, between defenders CB and FB, if he's not being followed by a midfielder)
