Cesc Fabregas’ Shares The Funniest Story About Patrick Vieira

Cesc Fabregas and Patrick Vieira’s encounter after many years turned into one of the most comedic stories in football.

The duo were midfield partners for a very short period at Arsenal before Vieira moved on to Inter Milan in 2005.

Now, the manager of Ligue 1 outfit, OGC Nice, Vieira did get to meet two of his former Gunners teammates, Thierry Henry and Fabregas during a game against AS Monaco. The latter got shipped off to the Stade Louis II this past January from Chelsea.

Fabregas revealed to Nice-Matin, “I saw Patrick Vieira when we played against Nice with Monaco.

“It was very funny because I met him in the locker room before the match, he was with the President of Nice and he said to him while looking at me: ‘President, this is the kid who made me leave Arsenal’.”

The Spaniard further discussed upon the hardships of leaving the Premier League. He said, “I am a competitor first and foremost.

“I will be able to say at the end of my career that I have experienced all the situations in a club, the top and the fight.

“I was sad at leaving London and the Premier League it represents 10 years of my life but also very excited to discover a new challenge probably the hardest of my career. I have never been afraid of challenges.”
