Fabregas hopes for great generation Friday, October 03, 2008
Cesc Fabregas has hailed Arsenal's "sensational" young Gunners and believes there is nothing they cannot achieve under the guidance of Arsene Wenger.
Arsenal romped to a 6-0 victory over Sheffield United on Tuesday, when the average age of the team was just 19.
"It was sensational," Fabregas said of Tuesday's performance while at the launch of Gameloft's 'Real Football 2009'. "Everyone played their part and were fantastic. There were 56,000 fans at the stadium and they were really entertained."
He added: "It does not surprise me or the rest of the team because we play with them in training every day and we know what they can do.
"Of course you are excited to see them play together in a real game, but you are not surprised by their quality.
"I hope this can turn out to be the greatest generation. There is definitely the potential in this side to do that because we are so young, even the players already playing in the first team - Denilson, [Alex] Song, I am only 21, Gael Clichy looks 30 and he is only 24.
"We all hope we can all keep progressing. With this manager, you know if you play well you will be in the team, so it is up to us to do it."
