Fabregas: Mourinho, Chelsea told me what I needed to hear Q. When did you decide to go and why? A. I started having the idea after the Copa Del Rey final, when I started thinking that there might be a change or it might not make sense to continue. Q. Did you talk to Luis Enrique? A. No. I informed the club a week after losing the League, from London, in the week off before the World Cup. I called Zubizarreta. And from the answer, I felt I was doing them a favor, it was good for them and for me. I talked to my manager and told him to look for a new team. The offer from Chelsea came and for me it was back to London, the place where I grew up. There was no better way out. I spoke with Mourinho and he told me things I needed to hear, I felt valued, I felt it would be an important part of something important. http://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2014/9/8/6120921/cesc-fabregas-interview
