Wilshere: I learnt so much from Fabregas

The Arsenal midfielder has praised the
Barcelona star, saying he is the best player he
has ever played with, and is also confident
England will qualify for World Cup 2014
Jack Wilshere says that he "learnt so much"
from playing with Cesc Fabregas at Arsenal and
believes the Barcelona midfielder is the best
he has ever played with.
The Spain international spent eight years with
the Gunners before returning to Barcelona in
2011 and the England international holds his
former team-mate in high regard.
"The best player I ever played with is probably
Cesc Fabregas," Wilshere told Esquire Weekly.
"I only got to play with him for a year before
he went back to Barcelona but I learnt so
much from him – the way he knew what he
was going to do with the ball before he got it
and his passing – and he scored goals.
"Also, he grew up at Arsenal – he got into the
first team at a young age, which is something I
wanted to do."
Wilshere is currently on international duty
with England and featured for the Three Lions
during their 4-0 win over Moldova at Wembley
on Friday.
The victory has put Roy Hodgson’s men top of
their group ahead of Tuesday’s clash in
Ukraine, and Wilshere is confident England will
qualify for World Cup 2014.
"As a footballing nation with the quality we
have, we can’t think of anything else," he
added
"We have got some tough qualifiers coming up,
but we know if we win them, it’s in our hands.
"We will be in Rio and I think all the players
are going to have to come together on that
one."
