Arsenal: “Coach” Cesc Fabregas represents different era

Arsenal are turning more to their old superstars for coaching help, and now Cesc Fabregas presents a new, different angle of an option.

Arsenal are changing, at long last. Despite the pillar that is Arsene Wenger remaining the same, pieces are moving and shaking. Power is changing hands and more and more doors are opening up that many thought long-closed.

New coaches are making a difference as well, with a better mentality and a more respected perspective. Jens Lehmann was recently praised for his work by Rob Holding, and his ability to “demand more” from the players, while teaching them to do the same for themselves.

More coaches are to come as the power structure is “diffused” a bit. More responsibility looks to be spread across more people as Wenger’s tower of power is turned into a collective of minds worthy of imparting their knowledge.

The latest to open the door to returning to Arsenal as a coach after serving as a player is Cesc Fabregas. The “snake” that abandoned the Gunners in their time of need and went to Barcelona and on to Chelsea was asked on Twitter if he would be interested and he responded simply “of course.”

Fabregas was in a Hector Bellerin situation where he was buried at La Masia and came to Arsenal as a means of opportunity, which he grabbed to perfection, establishing himself as a mainstay. But the call back to home was to much and he took it.

When the chance came to come back to England, he went to Chelsea, finding his place at his former England home occupied.

It’s a situation that has unfortunately smeared the name of someone who was set to be a legend. But there is still a massive capacity in which he can serve the Gunners, and I for one and quite keen on seeing it happen.

While Lehmann brings the toughness and the knowledge of the perfect era, Fabregas would bring something completely different. He would bring a knowledge of an imperfect era – a reminder of what wasn’t enough. He would bring a knowledge of what then proceeded to work at Chelsea and that desire to see it reproduced at Arsenal, his true home, would be all that and a bag of chips.

It’s all about perspective, and having a mindset for every situation. Fabregas would provide more of that, and you can never have too much perspective.
