Fabregas Admires 'Exceptional' Ronaldo

Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas has spoken of his admiration for Manchester United rival Cristiano Ronaldo

They may play for rival teams, but that hasn't stopped Arsenal's midfield man Cesc Fabregas from revealing his admiration for Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo.

The duo are regarded as two of the finest players in England's Premier League, and though Fabregas hopes to get the better of Ronaldo in this season's campaign, that doesn't mean he cannot admire the Portuguese's qualities.


"He (Ronaldo) is amazing," said Fabregas, whose side lead United by two points at the top of the league table.

"I admire his physical body, his power, he is so quick with the ball and he has such strength. He is a player that at any moment can score a goal for the team and make the team win - even if it is a header, left or right foot.

"For me, he is an exceptional player," the Spaniard addd. "It is good that people say they enjoy watching Arsenal, but when I watch teams like Manchester United, I really enjoy watching it myself."
